Killick Off Road Arts (KORA) is a recreational martial arts group in Purley, Surrey, dedicated to researching, teaching and preserving traditional martial arts from Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines and Europe.
Our training combines traditional martial arts with practical self-defence, helping students develop awareness, movement, timing and the ability to remain calm and capable under pressure.
KORA teaches Pencak Silat Sera & Serak, alongside dedicated Sword & Dagger training and practical self-defence. Training is delivered in small groups, creating a friendly and focused environment for adults of all experience levels.
Based in Purley, Surrey, KORA welcomes students from across South London who are looking for something different from mainstream martial arts and conventional combat sports.
Small-group martial arts training designed to help you stay calm, aware and capable.
Our Training Philosophy
For over forty years, Richard Killick has studied martial arts as both a practitioner and researcher. KORA is the culmination of that lifelong journey, bringing together practical combat skills, historical research, and a philosophy of continuous learning.
We empower our students to excel in threat level assessment and contact management. They become proficient in stand-up, clinch, and ground techniques within a weapons-based hostile environment.
Our training program is designed to be fun and prioritises safety. We understand that training in martial arts can be perceived as a potentially dangerous activity. However, we create a secure environment. This enhances students’ awareness, body conditioning, reactions, and skill sets.
We use a modern, safe training system that emphasises pad-hitting and integrates live training, including free play and sparring.
Our instruction is tailored to suit the needs and environment of our diverse clientele. We have trained the general public, elements of the Military, Intelligence Officers, A-list actors, and celebrities. This diverse mix of individuals is a testament to the effectiveness and adaptability of our training methods.
If you’re looking for loud classes or ego-driven training, this isn’t for you.
