# Archery for All
Archery for All is a traditional Mamluk archery club based in Norbury, South London (SW16 4DN), serving archers across London and the wider South East. The club specialises in teaching authentic Mamluk archery techniques, a historical martial art passed down through generations, with a particular emphasis on reviving traditional Sunnah practices.
Led by Jehad Shamis, Head Coach of Mamluk Academy UK, the club welcomes everyone from complete beginners to experienced archers. What distinguishes Archery for All is its commitment to historical authenticity and proper form rather than modern competitive archery. The club provides all necessary equipment, eliminating barriers to entry for newcomers.
Beyond regular training sessions, Archery for All runs an extensive annual calendar featuring competitive postal matches, social gatherings like the Braai with Bruce event, immersive Kayi Camps, and the flagship Mamluk Annual Festival. These events foster community engagement and offer varied experiences for different skill levels and interests.
The club's positioning near Croydon makes it conveniently accessible for South London residents whilst maintaining the specialised focus on Mamluk archery traditions that sets it apart from mainstream archery providers. By operating as part of the broader Mamluk Academy UK network, the club taps into a larger community dedicated to preserving and practising this distinct archery heritage.
