Sifu Norm Willis

Head Instructor and owner of Zen Combat Academy

I Started training in fitness & martial arts in the 1980’s when I was at high school.

The first arts I began training with were Boxing, Kung Fu and Kickboxing. I have extensive knowledge of the security industry, where I worked for 26 years from 1994 -2020 (both private & public). In that time I worked event security, close protection, night club security as well as for the Ministry of Defence.

This background allows me to teach self-defense that isn’t based on theory – but on what actually works in real-life scenarios. At Zen Combat Academy, I bring together martial arts principles with practical application drawn from decades of experience.

Whether it’s self-protection, physical fitness or building confidence, I’m here to share what I’ve lived and learned. I’m a qualified instructor in various Martial Arts and self-defence, as well as personal training. Take a look below!
