Then may I welcome you to ‘Achievement Through Great Effort‘, your one stop resource for martial arts, combat sports and self defence.

My name is Robin French and I aim to bring you information, news and articles about the following disciplines:

You may be a little confused by the website address. I decided on a literal translation of ‘gung fu’ (Kung Fu) as I believe that regardless of which martial art, combat sport or indeed any pursuit one undertakes in life, that true achievement is only made through great effort.

As well as training in Chelmsford, I train throughout Essex, London, Kent and all over the United Kingdom.

If you are interested in starting or continuing group classes learning Martial Arts in Chelmsford, I would recommend Laurence Sandum’s Black Belt Martial Arts Academy. If you are else where in the United Kingdom then you can find a local martial arts academy using the UK MASDA club directory.

Alternatively, for personal training, please get in touch for more information.

I hope you find this site interesting and informative. If you do have any suggestions, then please let me know.
