Learn Pencak Silat and Sword, Dagger & Stick arts in Purley & South London

Helping people become more capable through practical martial arts, research and continual learning.

Private, small-group training designed to help you stay calm, aware, and capable.

KORA is a school of practical martial arts founded on over forty years of study, practice, and research. It focuses on developing capability through principles of movement, timing, and adaptation rather than fixed systems.

Richard Killick’s training at KORA (Killick Off Road Arts) is structured around a cyclical syllabus. This “off-road” approach focuses on practical self-defence rather than mainstream competitive sports. 

The training is organised into specific core modules that rotate to allow for continuous progression without penalising missed sessions.

Core Training Modules

• Weapons Training: A specialised module focusing on Sword, Dagger, and Stick Fighting. It specifically covers precision, coordination, and techniques. Spanish Dagger is a specific area of expertise within the weapons module.
• Pencak Silat (Serak & Sera): Structured training in traditional Indonesian systems, focused on highly practical self-defence, close-range control, and efficient real-world application.
• Savate & Lutte: A module featuring a rare version of Savate (French kickboxing) and Lutte (grappling) with a unique “Basque flavour,” specifically adapted for practical self-defence.
• Combat Essentials: Integration of clinch work and basic groundwork (Vale Tudo/MMA style) into the broader rotation.
