The staff here are very friendly and welcoming. As someone who is standoffish and timid, I really enjoyed my first session. It was fun and truly engaging and it helped me loosen up. There are trainers on ground to offer support if you’re struggling. I’m definitely staying xx
I had a great experience with the women’s beginner kickboxing class. The instructor was patient, supportive, and made everything easy to understand. The class was welcoming, fun, and empowering—perfect for beginners. Highly recommend for women who want to try kickboxing in a comfortable environment!
Had a fantastic experience at the martial arts class for my son. The instructors were really patient and encouraging, and he came out of the session super excited. Definitely a great place for kids to learn and grow!”
My son started his martial art classes only a few months ago and he loves it. The staff are very kind and have a great approach towards kids. This is not just martial arts class, they also teach kids discipline and respect each other. As a parent I can see a grow in confidence, respect and obviously overall fitness strength. I would recommend academy to everyone
I regularly take my daughters to martial arts classes. They both really enjoy it and it's great watching them get involved in all the activities. The classes are very child-focused and the staff really go out of their way to make the children feel involed. Highlight for my daughters is being recognised with a sensei sticker, but the younger classes give out stickers for completing homework (based on an important message, like fire safety) and have stamp sheets to record attendance. It's not the cheapest, but I see it as an investment in helping them to be more self-disciplined and understand how to defend themselves as they get older.
