Unit T1, Kingsville Rd, Cheltenham GL51 9NZ, UK
My son has training at chi wai for 2 years and he loves it. The facilities are great and all the instructors are friendly and knowledgable. It’s lovely to seeing my son grow in confidence and progress through the belts whilst being part of a really welcoming and supportive martial arts community.
My son has been going to Chi Wai for nearly 4 years now and I am happy with the progress he has made. Before he started he lacked confidence and would not have know how to defend himself. His confidence has grown and would quite happily defend himself if he needed to. Lee, Mel and anyone he has dealings with are fab and continue to help him grow with these important life skills.
My son has been going here for a few years now and has developed his confidence, social skills and fitness fantastically. Sifu Lee (the boss) and the other instructors are great with kids. My other half has recently joined in the adult classes. The club also helps out with lots of charity events around Cheltenham including marshaling the Sue Ryder Starlight Hike.
I cannot recommend this academy highly enough! The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about the students. They create a welcoming and disciplined environment that caters from beginners to advanced. The classes are well-structured, with a great balance of physical conditioning, technique, and traditional philosophy. What truly sets this academy apart is the sense of community they foster. Everyone supports one another, making it a fantastic place for both personal growth and building lasting friendships. If you’re looking to deepen your martial arts journey or try something new, this is the perfect place.
An excellent establishment. We chose Chi Wai for our son because it encompasses everything we are looking for in a martial art school - strong leadership, strong values, positive attitude, fair role models and happy children. I can't recommend enough.
My son has been coming to Chi Wai for almost 2 years, starting just before he turned 5. We absolutely love it here and he looks forward to his lessons every week. The instructors are amazing, they are brilliant with all the children - especially if they are nervous. My son is quite shy and lacks confidence in himself but joking Chi Wai has helped him such a lot. He is always incredibly proud of himself when he gets a new belt and the monthly challenges really inspire him to do his best and have a fantastic mindset. In short, this isn't just a place to come once a week for martial arts, it's a community that inspires children to be the best they can be and teaches them incredibly valuable life lessons on the way - the importance of practicing, the value of hard work, good manners, self discipline and more.
Kids have been learning Kung Fu with this exceptional club for almost a year now. It's not just martial arts they are learning but also leadership skills and respect. They have a large windows so you can see all the action inside the Dojo from the adjacent waiting room or you can watch the proceedings on a monitor.
As a parent of boys who can be a handful I would say Sifu is a very patient teacher. He helps children focus on life skills that matter during their early years, helps children learn to be responsible and inspires them to be the best version of themselves. It's only been a few months but our boys are keen to attend their sessions and look forward to their training every week. Glad to have my boys train with Chi Wai!
