Rising Spirit Academy is amazing! The Little Ninjas class is perfect for beginners — fun, engaging, and great for building confidence and focus in young kids. As they grow, the Ninja Rangers class offers more advanced training, challenging students to push their skills to the next level in a supportive and energetic environment. The instructors are fantastic, and the positive atmosphere makes every class something to look forward to. Highly recommend for families looking for quality martial arts training!
Posted 8 months agoMy daughter and I started training with Master Williams at Rising Spirit, and it was an excellent choice for us. Great conditioning and instruction, serious but fun, and the changes have been almost immediate. I’m getting back into shape, my daughter’s confidence is growing, and with the side benefit that she’ll be able to handle herself if faced with a dangerous situation. I 100% recommend this club, for quality and value for money.
Posted 8 months agoI spent 9 months at Rising Spirit and I must say it's one of the most enjoyable, organised and friendly martial arts academies I have ever been to. Master Williams, Miss Ward and Mr Hipkin manage to find the right balance between making things fun and bringing the best out of people. The classes themselves had a meditative focus effect, which also manages to push you out of your comfort zone at the same time, which I have found has made me a better person at home and at work. If you manage to commit to the course and attend most of the classes and gradings, you will find that it is definitely value for money. I have learned so much during my time here and would whole heartedly recommend to people who are looking for a well structured martial arts programme, and also, looking to get fitter than they have ever been before.
Posted 11 months agoMy daughter received private Taekwondo lessons from Master Williams for just over a year, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the experience. In that time, she not only improved her Taekwondo techniques, but also developed greater confidence, focus, and discipline—skills that have benefited her well beyond the lessons themselves. One of the things we appreciated most was the flexibility and depth of the sessions. Because they were one-on-one, she was able to learn a combination of Taekwondo, self-defence, and nunchaku (double sticks) in a way that kept her both challenged and engaged. Master Williams tailored each session to her interests and learning pace, and she always looked forward to her lessons. His calm, respectful teaching style and genuine dedication to his students made every session meaningful. It has truly been a pleasure learning from him, and we’re thankful for the positive role he played in my daughter’s journey. Highly recommended.
Posted 8 months agoAbsolutely amazing! The little boy I looked after had loads of pent up anger and struggled to listen at home and after a few sessions the master worked with us to make a magnet chart that has had such a positive influences and doing the martial arts has helped him so much it’s like a different child! Even the school have commented on change of behaviour
