Spirit Combat's history is closely related to it's founder Brain Dossett. Born on the 12th February 1940, began his martial arts journey just after the 2nd World War. It has taken him from his boyhood boxing, Judo and practical self-defense lessons, around the world and back to the UK as a Grand-Master(Soke) of his own modern style of British Jujitsu, Spirit Combat. As a young man, his time in the merchant navy took him to the far east where he was able to extend his boyhood martial arts knowledge. Returning to the UK he continued to develop his interest and skill in martial arts training in this setting, teaching youngsters and adults in the local community. As the political bureaucracy in Martial Arts grew, he became increasingly frustrated and decided to form his own organization one, that would not loose sight of the ideals of Martial Arts and of the need of it's members - Spirit Combat International was born.

In SCI we take a modern approach to martial arts in which we regularly meet and research the latest innovations on sports training and health principles. We encourage the participation of the whole family members, in fact there some local clubs that have three generations of the same family training. We have two different syllabuses, one for the adults and the second for the juniors. The latter takes care for needs and limitations of the physical well-being of the children. This syllabus is mostly about teaching the children discipline and fitness in a fun atmosphere.

When you train SCI you won't just be training the body but also the mind. We believe a lot in giving hard work to the body and discipline the mind, thus creating a perfect balance between the two. Everything that is done in SCI it is done to bring harmony and balance between the mind and the body, regardless of what belt you are.

Spirit Combat is a synthesis of many Martial Arts such as: Jujitsu, Modern Aikido, Self-defense, Combat Jujitsu, Kung-Fu, Kickboxing, Weapons Combat and others.
