Liam is a very knowledgeable and fantastic instructor. My daughter started just over a year ago and absolutely loves it. He caters for all levels of experience and my daughter and I have felt welcomed from the very first day. Would highly recommend to anyone who is thinking of giving it a try.

My children have been attending classes twice a week for over 3 years and throughout that time, Liam and his family have facilitated so much physical and emotional growth. The club is more than an activity they can attend, it is a community whose values and ethos encourages (and requires) motivation, dedication and reflection. Liam devotes so much time and energy, going above and beyond for the students to reach their potential, however it's his understanding and awareness of how to empower and inspire that creates the most positive and progressive environment for the people that attend. Through empowering and motivational speeches incorporated into each class and demonstrating during serious injury, Liam has enforced a culture of dedication and commitment within the club. From every single class, to gradings, to events put on with (and for) other clubs, Liam, his wife Marian and all at NSMA are simply inspiring and wonderful. Thankyou endlessly

I have been training at North Star Martial Arts for two and half years now and look forward to every Tuesday and Friday night training sessions with Liam our coach and everyone in the class. These are two hours long with a warm up session to start with which really improves your fitness levels and Liam encourages you all the way. We learn new techniques and drills working towards your grading and do full contact sparring. I am now on my Orange belt working towards Green. I have also had 1-1 coaching sessions with Liam which I would highly recommend. Liam is a very good coach and every training session is varied and he encourages you to get the best out of you in a friendly and professional way. I was made to feel welcome by everyone in the class when I first walked through the door two and half years ago and my fitness levels have massively improved. I am the oldest in the club at 65 and hope to be training for a few more years in this great club which I am proud to be a member of.

Our daughter joined and was instantly made to feel welcome. She throughly enjoys martial arts as she was in another club when she was younger and was experienced. We recommend this club for kids and adults.

Training with Liam has been one of the best decisions I’ve made. Every session we are learning and getting stronger and he is the best coach in the Midlands. I appreciate the time he puts into the classes and I am grateful to be apart of the sessions. Thank you Coach👊🏽❤️

After years of playing football, I decided I’d like to take up martial arts shortly after Covid. After contacting a few different gyms, the response I got from Liam was by far the most welcoming to a total novice like me. Martial arts is all about respect, and I was treated with nothing less from day one. I first stepped into his class almost 5 years ago and still attend regularly, which is testament to how enjoyable he and the club have made my martial arts journey. There is still so much to learn but I am now proudly a purple belt, the gradings are not easy, which makes them all the more of an accomplishment. I have not only learned some wonderful skills, but my strength and fitness is significantly better than when I first started training, making new friends along the way. If anyone is considering taking up martial arts, whether you’re a newbie like I was or someone more experienced, I don’t think you’ll find a more friendly club. Note: Don’t mistake friendliness for ease - you’ll still be tested both physically and mentally, week in, week out! You will absolutely get out of it as much as you are prepared to put in.
