This is a really good kickboxing group. The standard of the teaching is very high and strikes a good balance between constructive feedback and encouragement. The class is also very welcoming and inclusive.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lone Wolf Martial Arts Academy has been one of the best decisions we've ever made as a family. From the moment we joined, we were made to feel welcome, supported, and part of something really special. The atmosphere is positive, encouraging, and inspiring, making every class enjoyable. The academy is led by an incredible family of world champion black belts – Senseis Rich, Pam, Reena, Priya, and Jasmine. Their passion, dedication, and commitment to every student is outstanding. What makes it even more inspiring is that four of those world champions are women, demonstrating what can be achieved through hard work, resilience, and determination. They are exceptional role models for both children and adults. When my son and daughter first started, they were both quite apprehensive about attending. The patience, kindness, and encouragement shown by the instructors helped them settle in so quickly. Since joining, we've watched their confidence grow enormously. They've become stronger, fitter, more disciplined, and more resilient, and it's been wonderful to see them develop such important life skills in such a supportive environment. After watching my children enjoy it so much, I decided to join too. It was completely outside my comfort zone, but it's one of the best things I've ever done. Being part of the Lone Wolf journey has given me so much more than I ever expected. I've gained confidence, patience, and a genuine sense of gratitude. I feel stronger, both physically and mentally, and I'm incredibly proud of what I've achieved. Every milestone has felt like a personal victory, and I've surprised myself with what I'm capable of. Lone Wolf Martial Arts Academy teaches so much more than martial arts. It builds confidence, respect, discipline, resilience, and a real sense of community. We feel incredibly fortunate to be part of the Lone Wolf family, and I can't recommend them highly enough to anyone, whatever their age or experience. Five stars simply don't feel enough!
Awesome family-run kick boxing academy! We are very happy with their approach to learning! Highly recommend!
I’ve been attending the ladies only classes for over a year and have attended classes at many different MMA classes and can by far say Lone Wolf Martial Arts Academy is the best MMA class I have joined. They focus on both fitness and technique, which both go hand in hand with each other. I have not only progressed in technique but hugely in my fitness level and flexibility. I’m also Muslim and like to cover up with baggy clothes and the private space has made a huge difference to my comfort levels. They have ensured all the ladies have privacy and respected our boundaries when we do communicate them. Our instructor Alice is amazing at keeping us motivated and ensuring we do not injure ourselves whilst also staying patient whilst she teaches us new moves. Alice is our biggest supporter and has truly helped me build confidence whilst learning. Sensei Priya and Rich also are extremely skilled and explain techniques very well. The class has a variety of skill levels and we learn off of eachother - it’s definitely a judgement free space where we all take a break from studies/work to join together and have a great workout. I can imagine attending the classes for as long as I can and hope to progress my belt levels.
I attended the international womens session and had the best time. To do it alongside such inspirational women was just incredible. I left the session feeling so empowered. My sons have been attending their regular sessions and they really enjoy it. They wake up with such a good mood knowing they will be seeing sensia rich and learning new things.
Amazing place. Can’t recommend this enough. They are so good with your kids. I was sceptical about Marshall arts for such a young age group at first, however it’s easily the best thing we do with our daughter, they totally allayed our fears, answered all questions. The confidence it’s given her, discipline and structure as well the levels of female leaders that are their set a wonderful example and would very much recommend to everyone.
My son and I have been going to Lone Wolf Martial Arts Academy for just over a month. From the moment you step through the door you get a warm welcome and a sense of a family feel. The team at Lone Wolf Martial Arts Academy are very responsive to any questions and provide detailed information before you join the case. The classes are amazing for the kids sessions and mixed sessions it has the right mixture of fun and right amount of push to improve your skills and cardio. The sessions are varied, so not one session feels the same, and Sensei Richard and the family joins in each of the sessions and for new activities Sensei Richard gives an excellent demonstration of the exercise. I have recommended this to a friend, who has joined and also is enjoying it. These classes are an excellent way to build up your fitness, confidence and also a place to train with others.
Amazing birthday party for Freya, they completely entertained the kids and also the adults. The kids had so much fun and were laughing the entire time. I couldn’t recommend more. Step out the box and have fun on the kids birthday! They will always remember this experience.
Posted 2 years agoI would recommend Lone Wolf wholeheartedly. As an adult it is incredibly hard to take up anything new as you are very aware of your skills gap however Sensei Rich and the Lone Wolf Instructors and family were incredibly welcoming, nurturing and knowledgeable. The quality of instructing of a high quality and is consistent. In the 2/3 years I have been training at Lone Wolf I have become confident not only in my kickboxing ability but also within my own fitness and myself.
Posted 4 years agoI really don’t know where to start with this review! We took my daughter along for a trial as she wasn’t getting on well at her current club and we haven’t looked back since. From the moment we arrived Rich and Pam made us welcome. They dealt with my daughters nerves so well. They were so compassionate and really understood her. She left the trial certain she was joining! They are nothing but professional and welcoming. The facilities are excellent making it such a great space to train in and because they run sessions every day of the week it was easy to fit it in around other commitments. As well as the Lone Wolf team being great the other members are too. Such a friendly atmosphere. We loved it so much that me, my husband and my son now train there too! 100% recommend this family friendly club for anyone wanting to begin or continue their martial arts journey.
Posted 4 years agoI've been to three different clubs during my time studying kickboxing and this is the best one by far! Sensei Rich and his family are incredibly knowledgeable and great teachers. The classes themselves are challenging mentally and physically, but will always be appropriate to personal ability and experience. People with all levels of experience are able to train side by side and still get the best out of classes. These guys will push you to be your best and all belts are hard earned but well deserved. Their passion for what they teach is what makes the club really special.
Posted 4 years agoBeen with LW since nearly the very start of their academy and no other club has ever come close to providing the level of skill and commitment of these guys. One free trial and I was hooked. Their goal is to help better each individual, building confidence in children and adults alike and providing a friendly and welcoming space to all. They work round injuries, to ensure that you are working within the limits of what you can safely do. Most importantly, their passion for teaching kickboxing shines through in their classes and you can't help but feel enthusiastic alongside them. Belts are hard earned, rather than expected and everyone within a class is there to help and support. You will get fitter and mentally stronger and you'll gain yourself a new family along the way. If you've got any questions, it's best to drop them a message or give them a call. And now they've got their own training centre the only way is up for these guys!
