The Oriental Martial Arts Society was formed 23 years ago by Chris Davies with the aim of promoting martial arts training with all the benefits it can offer.

Chris began his martial arts career 38 years ago and now holds a Master Grade of 6th Degree in Kung Fu awarded by the country's largest independent Governing Body, NAKMAS. He is the Chief Instructor of OMAS and in addition to being a member of the NAKMAS Management Committee for the past 10 years, he has recently been appointed the Equality Champion for the Governing Body.

Chris's commitment to students is that they will leave his class feeling good, having had balanced instruction to meet their own individual goals whether it is fitness, self-confidence, learning a traditional martial art - all of these aspects and more are covered.

Chris teaches adult and children's classes in Edinburgh and the Lothians. He also teaches in Cairo, Egypt at least once or twice a year, where he has a large following.
