ABOUT DONCASTER SAMBO
Doncaster Sambo is a family run Martial Arts club. We provide affordable training for anyone who wants to learn. Our coaches are all friendly and welcoming as are our members.
We offer a free week for anyone wanting to try out our classes, with no obligation. There's no contracts or minimum membership sign ups, you try us, you like us and you pay as you go, with multiple payment options suited to your needs.
People come to us for many different motivations, some to get fit, some for a hobby and to make friends, for self defense and some come to learn to fight and go on to compete. Whatever your motivation, you have nothing to lose by popping in and seeing what we have to offer. Get involved.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
