Welcome to the Festival Martial Arts website. Festival Martial Arts is a community martial arts club part funded by a Connexus community grant which runs every Thursday during term time at Clehonger Village Hall in Clehonger near Hereford. The martial arts styles taught are mixed martial arts (M.M.A.), Kali/Escrima and Freestyle Kickboxing.
