Bexhill's leading Martial Arts and Education centre. 

Holding Covid Catch-Up revision classes, children to adult martial arts classes and group and community meets. 

Up-Grade Training have teamed up with East Sussex County Council and Eastbourne Borough to help maintain the busy Sovereign Roundabout. 


Up-Grade Training’s sponsorship helped transform a busy local roundabout into a beautifully presented and tropically themed landmark.

The roundabout, regularly seen by most residents in the town due to its location at the entrance to the seafront, has three large and exquisite flower beds, each presented upon a finely kept lawn, landscaped into the location opposite the fivebusy access roads.

Managing Director and Head Teacher, Daniel Barfoot, at Up-Grade Training and Therapy, talked about the benefits the company were seeing from their sponsorship. He said: “Our roundabout sponsorship has not only raised our own local profile in just the right way, but it is also helping to promote the profile of the whole area to both visitors and residents of the town. We are excited to be helping our local community in so many unique ways."
