Killick Off Road Arts (KORA) is a martial arts organization that focuses on preserving and teaching traditional martial arts from Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, and Europe. It combines these with practical self-defence techniques to create a system tailored to real-world scenarios. The training includes disciplines such as kickboxing (with a Basque twist), grappling, sword and dagger combat, and Pencak Silat, a martial art from Indonesia.
KORA emphasizes a comprehensive approach to self-defence, covering threat assessment, contact management, and techniques for stand-up, clinch, and ground fighting in weapon-based environments. Classes are structured around safe, engaging methods, including pad-hitting, free play, and sparring, ensuring both effectiveness and student safety. They cater to a diverse audience, from military personnel to everyday individuals.
Richard Killick, the founder, has been involved in martial arts since 1978. He integrates his extensive experience, which includes coaching fighters in various disciplines and conducting personal safety training for high-profile clients. Killick prioritizes a hands-on, mentor-based learning environment to ensure authentic skill transmission.
