Our Story
Founded in 2017 by Sohail Chowdhary
Sohail left a career in accounting to pursue his martial arts passion, launching AG Martial Arts as a small, family-focused kickboxing club in Southampton. Since then, we've grown to serve Portsmouth, Bournemouth, Eastleigh, Chandler's Ford, Wembley and more, all on a structured belt system from white to black.
Our contagious enthusiasm and expert instructors have created a supportive, inclusive environment where individuals of all ages improve confidence, fitness and self-belief. Join us to discover the transformative power of martial arts. Oh, and your first class is on us!
