Welcome to SAMA Portsmouth & Gosport

The SAMA Organisation is the largest, most successful and widely recognised independent martial arts group in the UK. It was established in Sussex in 1978 by our Chief Instructor Hanshi A. Gibson 8th Dan Black Belt, who shares over 50 years of martial arts experience with fellow instructors and students. 

Over the years, SAMA has expanded to all over Sussex and into Hampshire, Surrey, Dorset, Kent, Wiltshire and Berkshire. SAMA is the largest independent group in the UK under a single chief instructor, with more than 10,000 members training in more than 500 locations.
