We really enjoyed it, and we will continue attending the classes.

My son Jaxson came to his first free trial class yesterday. He absolutely loved it, I think it’s brilliant how they keep the kids engaged with the class and push them, one thing I thought was very special was the fact they sat down at the start of the session and asked all the children what they’ve been up to and how they are. The sensei and staff were really welcoming and informative of how they work, classes and getting set up. I’m looking forward to my son’s journey with BMMA now as he is buzzing for his next class already. If you haven’t already get your children here and see for yourself. Thank you BMMA for making my son feel very welcome on his first lesson.

My 6 year old son Zachary had his first session yesterday (12/03/2026) and he absolutely loved it, he was beaming all the way home. The trainers were so kind and lovely to all the kids, everyone was having such a great time. Even the parents, there is a nice comfortable seating area for the parents to watch, and I loved watching Zachary enjoy himself. Zachary has now signed up and is looking forward to learning more. Thank you so much

I attended the ladies only classes and throughly enjoyed it. I trained as a teen in kickboxing and reached my blue belt before having to put it on hold due to my career. After 6 years I decided I want to start again as I missed the feeling of being part of a team and how confident and strong I felt as a woman learning how to defend myself. All of the teachers were super friendly and the training area was clean and well kept. I cannot wait to continue attending the classes and soon advancing to reach one of my life goals of one day achieving my black belt. Thank you BMAA for welcoming me ❤️

Had a fab time at my first ever session on Monday, I really enjoyed it, was a bit scary walking in but majority of the ladies there were new like me and we had a giggle doing it! Met some real nice girls and I'll be going back tonight! If you're considering signing up, THIS IS YOUR SIGN!!! You won't regret it!

My daughter attends the Little Dragons class and I honestly can’t say enough good things about it. Since starting, her confidence has grown so much not just in class, but at school and at home too. The instructors are patient, encouraging, and truly invested in helping the children grow, both in skill and in character. It’s been amazing to watch her come out of her shell, try new things without fear, and feel proud of her achievements. We’re so grateful to be part of such a supportive and positive environment.

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

My son had his first session yesterday and absolutely loved it! They were all so welcoming and made us and him feel very comfortable. The texts with all the information before hand were great to put us at ease too! We can't wait for our next one!

It is the most fun learning experience for my grandson. He is so enthusiastic to come each week and says it's 'cool'. Karate is brilliant exercise and gives the participants confidence and a good positive attitude in life. The teachers are very good at getting the balance between discipline and enjoyment just right.I highly recommend this exceptional martial arts academy.

An excellent gym with highly dedicated and hardworking leadership. Within a year I was able to compete at the WKO British Championships; the Sensei’s at BMAA are excellent at pushing people of all ages and tailor their training to individual requirements. If you want to train casually to get better at martial arts or improve your fitness , you can. If you want to intensify your training to compete, you can. This applies to any age group or weight class! A very well rounded and balanced approach to Martial Arts tuition! Couldn’t recommend them more.

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.
