Our Story

AG Martial Arts

Founded in 2017 by Sohail Chowdhary, who left a career in accounting to pursue his martial arts passion, AG Martial Arts began as a small, family‑focused kickboxing club in Southampton. Since then, we’ve grown to serve Portsmouth, Bournemouth, Winchester, Wembley and more, all on a structured belt system from white to black. Our contagious enthusiasm and expert instructors have created a supportive, inclusive environment where individuals of all ages improve confidence, fitness and self‑belief. Join us to discover the transformative power of martial arts. Oh, and your first class is on us!
