  We came to OSTMA and Sensei Claire from another karate school and the improvement in concentration and skill for our boy has been amazing. He isn’t always the best listener but Sensei Claire and Sensei Kieran have kept his interest and developed his skills all while having fun. They are brilliant, knowledgeable, understanding and great at getting the best out of the kids. Can’t thank you both enough. It is a great club.

  Our children joined Ostma with Sensei Claire and Sensei Karen back in 2022. I can see my children's confidence grow, and how happy and excited they are with every grading and competition. There's a smile in their faces whenever it's karate time and that's all parents look for. For us OSTMA is 10/10.

  Claire and Kieran are fantastic instructors. Both of my daughters attend their classes and absolutely love them. Since joining, we’ve seen their confidence grow so much. Claire and Kieran are brilliant with the kids—supportive, patient, and great at making the classes fun while teaching discipline and respect.

  My son joined Ostma through Sensei Claire Maden about 12 years ago. He was shy but had anger management issues. He was interested in the sport, but it was Sensei Claire's teaching style that appealed to him. Sensei knew just how much to push him and just how much to encourage him. As a mother I loved seeing him blossom in her classes. I also really enjoyed sitting in and watching the classes in the early years. This club is not just about martial arts, it is about becoming part of the Ostma family where you learn to look out for each other. You learn about stranger danger, your own strengths and weaknesses, team work and that hard work is rewarded. My son nearly quit a few times over the course of 10 years - especially during Covid, but Sensei never pressured him to come back to class. She just told him there is always a place in the Club when he is ready to return. He did return and then trained like crazy to get his black belt. He now trains and coaches with Sensei Claire and is happiest when he is in his gi.

  My son has been attending this karate class for two years and it’s been a fantastic experience for him. The instructors are great with the children and do an amazing job teaching discipline, confidence and respect while keeping the classes fun. Our youngest son, who is 4, has just started as well and he already loves it. It’s a really welcoming and supportive club and I’d highly recommend it to other parents.

  Since joining OSTMA my daughter has grown in confidence and respect for others. She was quite shy and quiet but she is developing lots now and loves attending every week. She looks forward to seeing her friends but also all of the Sensei's. We never have a week where she doesn't want to go. It's a fun, motivated and very respectful group.

  We have been members of OSTMA for 2+ years and my child loves their classes with Sensei Claire. My child has progressed well through grades but more importantly, feels welcome, confident, and safe in class. Sensei Claire creates a culture of focus and commitment with a friendly approach, which the kids respond well to.
