Here you can find little bit more about ethos 

Welcome to Carreras Studio

Carreras Studio was founded by Maria in 2010 with a clear mission: to help people stay happy and healthy for life through martial arts. Located in London, the studio is more than just a place to train—it's a supportive community where respect, self-discipline, and perseverance are at the heart of everything we do.

Maria's vision began long before the studio opened. Inspired by the sense of family and belonging she experienced while training in Viladecans, Barcelona, she wanted to create a space where people felt seen, valued, and empowered. At Carreras Studio, every student is treated as an individual, with personalized guidance that fosters personal growth both inside and outside the dojo.

A Personalized Approach

We believe martial arts is about more than just punches and kicks—it's about building character and lasting well-being. Whether you're stepping onto the mat for the first time or looking to sharpen your skills, our classes are designed to meet you where you are and help you grow. Our personalized approach ensures that every student receives the support they need to achieve their goals.

More Than Just Kickboxing

While Kickboxing is at the core of our training, Maria's teaching is enriched by her deep knowledge of other martial arts, including Karate, Mugendo, and Systema. This comprehensive approach provides students with a well-rounded martial arts education that emphasizes physical, mental, and technical balance.

Opportunities to Compete

For those who dream of taking their skills to the next level, Carreras Studio offers the opportunity to compete. As a registered member of Kickboxing GB, part of the global WAKO organization, we provide a pathway for students who want to challenge themselves in the competitive arena. Maria herself is an active competitor on the Kickboxing GB team, having won the European Championship in 2024 and aiming for the World Championship this year.

A Community That Feels Like Family

In a city as fast-paced and vast as London, it's easy to feel isolated. That's why building a sense of community is at the heart of Carreras Studio. We strive to create an environment where everyone feels welcomed and supported. Many of our students stay for years, bringing family and friends, and becoming part of our extended martial arts family.

At Carreras Studio, we believe the lessons learned on the mat extend far beyond it. Through martial arts, we aim to equip our students with the tools they need to face life's challenges with strength, confidence, and a positive spirit. Whether you want to improve your fitness, learn self-defense, or become a champion, our doors are open to you.
