My Son joined FMA late September 24. He has just passed his first grading. He loves attending and goes three times per week. FMA has helped develop his confidence and fitness. The staff are lovely and friendly with the right amount of discipline to keep the students focused. I can see my Son getting better week on week.

My Son has been coming for 3 years and he loves it. Miss Shipley and her team are supportive, encouraging and the sessions ensure the children learn valuable life skills and the ability to know to defend themselves if needed. The added availability of adult sessions is amazing too with a great atmosphere and the encouragement to get fitter. Would definitely recommend the classes.

My son has been going to Family Martial Arts for 2 years now. He looks forward to every single class and he’s changed into his kit as soon as he gets home from school. There’s no cajoling or nagging him, he absolutely loves going. There’s transformation in him has been amazing. You could literally see the confidence increasing from one week to the next. Miss Shipley and her team are super friendly and the pupils really make new members feel comfortable by showing them what to do. It’s like one big family, where they’re all challenging themselves, which in turn is helping each other develop. Would absolutely recommend for children or adults.

Hi . I went along to a free class and liked it so joined up ! Been to boxing , ju jitsu and kickboxing before but never stick with them . In this class they teach you the mechanics of punching and kicking very well . The ethos seems to be on personal development rather than training for a “real fight” which hopefully will never happen ! It’s an intense 45 minutes , not long but a lot crammed in before your attention wavers !

I would 100% recommend Family Martial Arts. We messaged and went to a session to trial and afterwards we discussed with Harry he wanted to sign up. My 9 year old son Harry started MMA just over one month ago now, he wanted to get fit, healthy and make some new friends. Since joining he is so happy and more confident in himself. He has fitted into the routine. Working a little bit later i was happy the club is open later on certain days of the week. This works well for us as a family. The club is well organised, clean and run extremely well. It is really good to see all the kids paying attention and practising new skills.
