Id never been to self protection or martial arts classes before so i wasn't sure what to expect. I felt welcomed by everyone and I was surprised by how involved i got for my taster session. It was easy to follow and go at your own pace but still as part of the group. I felt comfortable and welcomed by all and would highly recommend it to all.
Posted 11 months agoI chose this class to ensure I could respond well in a threatening situation. I've been attending since December 2023 and feel better now in a variety of ways: the classes are making me fitter, more resilient and more confident. I've just applied for my second grading and recently took the Realism class where you're put under pressure in simulated threatening scenarios and able to demonstrate the defences you've learnt. I was very nervous about this one due to prior experiences but the instructors made it a really positive, encouraging class - and i found out how much more forceful I can be in defending myself. Fantastic club, highly recommend.
Posted 1 year agoBrilliant club for any age!! My son (12 years old) attended the mixed class for several years and now attends the senior club. He looks forward to the weekly lessons and is greatly supported to get the best out of the lessons by Sensai Ian and fellow club members (they know who they are!!!!). As a proud parent it is great to see him progressing with each belt he achieves. Not just progressing with learning the skills, but also key skills of respect, listening, concentration, supporting others, communication - to name just a few. Highly recommended by parent and child!!!!
Posted 2 years agoBrilliant class with a fantastic group of people. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming. Since my daughter (14) joined she has gained so much confidence in herself which is great to see.
Posted 1 year agoThis is a very good group for youngsters and adults wanting to learn Karate. Additionally the adult classes which combine Thai Boxing and Practical Self Defence are brilliant for fitness, building self confidence and self awareness. Senior Instructor Ian has been trained by and trained with some very influential and prominent martial artists and the club is part of the British Combat Association, the UK's Foremost Self Defence and Multi-Style Martial Arts Organisation If you want a welcoming, inclusive and motivational training experience, I highly recommend it.
