My four sons have been coming here since 2023. Its a welcoming place for kids and adults. They keep the children engaged, and its great for self-confidence, teaching discipline and listening skills and fitness. My kids really enjoy coming here, ans they provide a safe and secure environment for the kids.
If for whatever reason you need to pause your membership and restart it later if youre going away etc this is also an option and staff carry it out quite smoothly for you.
I have taken Muay Thai lessons both in the UK and Asia. I would rate Instinct Martial Arts in the 'excellent and highly recommended' category. I have also taken 1:1 lessons with Ian and Manny. I particularly like the fact that they both have an approachable and supportive attitude. They adapt the training to suit the individual, whilst at the same time constantly aiming for good technique which forms the basis for continued improvement.
Booked a 121 with Jamie after coming back to Thai, private session really helped me with my technique and getting my confidence back! Jamie always answers my (many) questions and is happy showing me the combo another 6 times when I don’t understand 👀 Can’t recommend Instinct enough, great coaches, no egos and such a great place to train! ☺️ 🥊
If you are looking for an instructor who can build genuine confidence, and keeps kids completely engaged, look no further than Jamie at Instinct Martial Arts.
Our three boys have been doing 3-1 sessions with Jamie. One of my boys has Special Educational Needs (SEN), and Jamie’s patience, adaptability, and understanding are unmatched. He knows exactly how to get the absolute best out of him in a way that feels supportive and empowering.
With three boys, "playfighting" at home was becoming a constant battle. He has taught them the discipline of when to switch it off, while keeping the sessions incredibly fun and high-energy. Their self-esteem has soared since starting these sessions. Jamie doesn't just teach martial arts skills; he builds up their character. The classes are never repetitive and Jamie keeps things fresh with a completely varied routine every week, the boys are always excited to go back.
The boys absolutely love it, and as a parent, I couldn't be more grateful. Thank you, Jamie, for being an amazing role model and coach! Highly, highly recommended.
I’ve recently completed the 6 week beginner course and have got nothing but great things to say about instinct. The coaches are very experienced and welcoming, and I found it very easy to learn and progress. Great gym with great people.
I joined as a beginner 3 weeks ago and it has been a wonderful experience. With knowledgable and supportive coaches, great facilities and a positive class atmosphere. The sessions include a variety of training methods to improve all round performance. You can work towards your individual goals too!
I’ve just finished the beginners course with Instinct Martial Arts and have enjoyed it throughly. The coaches are super attentive, the basics are taught really well and everyone is made to feel so welcome in the gym. Would recommend to anyone wanting to start!
Amazing club with amazing coaches and a great atmosphere. Thank you to the IMA team for all of your hard work and dedication to your students. Highly recommend for all ages!
My four sons have been coming here for over a year now. Its welcoming for kids and adults. They keep the children engaged, and its great for self-confidence, teaching discipline and listening skills and fitness.
I've been doing the beginners course and really enjoying it, it's challenging, but the coaches are brilliant, really supportive and welcoming. Definitely recommended for anyone wanting to get fit and build confidence.
Joining here was one of the best decisions I have made. I initially decided to book a taster lesson because I was still a little unsure about committing to the idea. Now, I'm 2 weeks into the 6-week beginners class, and I even managed to get my mother on board—we’re both loving each session. Jamie and the team have been nothing but amazing instructors. Couldn’t have asked for better instructors!
Both my daughter and myself have been attending Instinct for about 6 weeks now, we have taken advantage of their one 2 one training sessions with one of their instructors, Ian. I am 52 and 28 stone and very unfit, but still Ian has managed to steadily get my fitness levels up, they have been patient and encouraging whilst slowly increasing the intensity of each session. My daughter has hypermobility but she has improved consistently week on week her joints are getting stronger aswell as her confidence has increased. The facilities are clean and well equipped the training is professional and all of the staff have been friendly and encouraging. If you are looking to start training we can confidently recommend Instinct.
