Great Academy! Sensai Kelly runs a great kids bjj class, teaching the children discipline, respect, self defense and how to be confident in themselves. Our children were only there for a short period due wating to try a different sport with friends but all the staff were great! Would highly recommend this academy to anyone and will be our first pick if our children want to do martial arts again.

This dojo provides high-quality karate instruction in a disciplined, respectful, and genuinely supportive environment. Under the leadership of Kyoshi Brian Hayes, there is a strong culture of care, consistency, and personal growth that is reflected across the whole dojo. I’ve spent a lot of time training with Sensei Joel, who genuinely cares about students and takes the time to check in if someone is absent, which really speaks to the values here. Sensei Kelie is the creator of the female empowerment program, which is a real standout and builds confidence and inclusion, and Sensei Romany, Sensei Anna, and Sensei Kaia are all instructors who actively support students to improve at their own pace, helping each person become the best version of themselves without pressure or intimidation. Training is clearly structured and supportive, and even the front desk staff are welcoming and remember students by name. It’s clear this dojo truly cares about its students and their development. Training here has genuinely helped me grow in confidence and capability.

The team at Hunter Valley Martial Arts have been so welcoming and supportive to my family this year. My 3 year old has grown so much in focus and attention after this years minimites training. I’m so proud of what he has achieved and I’m looking forward to seeing what he achieves next year.
