My daughter who's very shy around others has been going to fma for a couple of months now, with encouragement from Mr & Mrs Moore, she is massively improving her confidence. She is always excited when I tell her Ninja time! She's actually pays attention to Mr & Mrs Moore- something she doesn't do for me, but they are teaching her respect as well as kicks!

This is a really fantastic academy. It is inclusive, caring and fun for the kids. The instructors are brilliant - they know how to get the best out of the kids. The kids are at different levels and really supportive of each other and kind to each other. These values are instilled by the two instructors. It is the only activity that my teenage son enjoys - he goes at least 4 days a week and would happily go more often but it is a little bit far from our house. The academy builds both fitness and martial arts skills. In just 4-5 months, I can see my son’s confidence growing.

My son has only been attending for a few weeks, but he absolutely loves it already. He can struggle to maintain concentration and focus, as well as retain information, but he has really surprised both me and his nan with how quickly he has settled into the classes and how well he is doing. The instructors are truly amazing — calm, patient and encouraging with every student, regardless of how long they have been attending. The classes are exciting, inclusive and engaging, and the students are able to work at their own pace. There is no pressure to meet particular goals or achieve certain things within a set timeframe, which makes such a positive difference. It’s wonderful to see my son enjoying himself, building confidence and making progress in an environment where he feels supported and encouraged.

My children and I have been attending Family Martial Arts classes for several weeks now and we absolutely love it! 😍 The Ladies-only classes have helped me become stronger, more confident, and build positive friendships. My children are more focused, disciplined, and respectful, which were the main reasons we started martial arts. We all are enjoying every session, and I can't believe we are preparing for our grading in a couple of weeks! Thank you Mr and Mrs Moore, for creating such a welcoming and supportive environment. We have the best instructors ever ❤️ Highly recommended! 🥋😊

The most welcoming environment to learn a new skill, gain confidence, have fun, and get a little fitter in the process!! Both Steve and Louise are great teachers across both the mixed adults and separate women’s only classes. Would recommend to anyone to give it a go! 💪

I wasn't confident doing any form of exercise in front of anyone, But I also knew I needed the encouragement, support and exercise as dieting didn't stregthen my body on it's own, I told them about my injury and they have worked around this encouraging what I can do rather than what I can't And encouraged me ti join the ladies only part. I've attended for a couple of months now and I love it. We chat, we laugh we learn but most of all I work up a sweat without even realizing and the time doesn't drag like any other form of exercise I've tried in the past, the classes finish as fast as they start and you have done the exercise without even realizing. My daughter has also stuck to this which is unusual as she has tried many different groups and hobbies. She is happy also and her confidence has soared. Thank you so much for your support. Both trainers are very good with the kids and us adults. High 5 from Me and Sheri.

We can’t recommend Family Martial Arts in Birkenhead highly enough. Mr and Mrs Moore have been absolutely fantastic with our son. He found it challenging at times in the beginning, but they were incredibly patient, supportive, and understanding throughout. Thanks to their encouragement and the welcoming environment they’ve created, he now absolutely loves going to classes and talks about Mr and Mrs Moore all the time. It’s been amazing to see his confidence grow. You can tell they genuinely care about the children they teach and put real effort into helping every child feel comfortable and included. Brilliant martial arts school with brilliant people running it.

Our son Ruben loves his Ninja cub sessions. Our quiet, shy boy is growing in confidence, learning how to use his body and having great fun being active. His listening skills and ability to follow instructions have all improved. Mr. Moore and Miss Farrell go out of their way to make him feel comfortable; Miss Farrell, in particular, has made a special effort to encourage him out of his shell. We love sharing the videos Miss Farrell makes with friends and family. Mr. Moore has incredible patience, and there are always new and fun things to try. Ruben looks forward to his weekly class and enthusiastically shows us what he has been doing when he gets home. Looking forward to continuing his FMA journey.

My son joined FMA Wirral (Birkenhead) last year in the Little Leaders class and we are so glad he did! He absolutely loves his classes, and has already learnt so much – from martial arts and self-defence skills to the importance of perseverance and respect. The teachers make the lessons great fun and are really supportive and welcoming. My son was very nervous on his first lesson but the teachers went out of their way to help and accommodate him. They let him go at his own pace, even when he just wanted to watch to begin with, and now he can’t wait to go to class each week! Seeing my son’s confidence and strength grow has inspired me to join FMA Wirral now too, in the adult martial arts classes – and I can honestly say that the teaching and support is just as great in those classes. The other students and families are all great too! We feel very lucky to have found FMA Wirral and would highly recommend it to anybody thinking of giving Martial Arts a try.

We love FMA Birkenhead, my 3 year old son has developed so much confidence since starting. He was always happy around adults but is so much happier making new friends both in Ninja Cubs and outside. It also gives him a chance to work off some excess energy which is definitely needed! Thanks so much to Miss Farrell and Mister Moore who have gotten to know him so well.

My son has been going to FMA for about 6weeks now and his confidence in this time has already grown massively. Mr Moore and Miss Farrell have been so welcoming and my son looks up to them so much! He looks forward to each session and in his words, ‘I love going to martial arts, it’s really fun and Mr Moore makes me laugh!’
