My daughter absolutely loves attending her classes here. The instructors are welcoming, patient, and supportive. They do a fantastic job of keeping the lessons engaging, teaching valuable discipline, focus, and martial art skills. It has been amazing to watch her confidence grow.

Fantastic spot. Niko and James take their time to give expert guidance and training to the kids making it fun and keeping the discipline needed for the kids to learn. I can't recommend this place enough, the kids are learning new skills, having fun and making friends. Thanks to everybody for making this what it is

I cannot recommend NMA enough. I have two kids, and they both need different things, both of which they get from the consistency, discipline, teamwork and activity provided in the twice weekly sessions. My daughter (11) needs confidence, she needs to learn how to break free from a crowd and follow her own path. She also needs to know how to defend herself. My son (4) needs the physical outlet, discipline and respect that is required of him at NMA. They are both new to the world of Martial Arts, but they are both absolutely loving it. And so am I (from the sidelines)! The team are absolutely lovely, it's a family vibe. Everybody is personable, kind, and generally outstanding. As I say, I can't recommend it enough.

My son has been coming to Niko’s since he was about 4 year old. Had a few years off to play football but now he’s back at 11 year old and it’s amazing to see the difference in his confidence. Niko is a great instructor! He’s caring and compassionate while instilling discipline into his students in a way they don’t realise. All the staff and various other instructors are great too. A must for any child

We couldn’t be happier with Nikos Martial Arts Academy. My daughter has been attending for the past 5 months, and the difference it has made is incredible. From the very beginning, the coaches have created such a positive, supportive, and disciplined environment. Not only has she improved physically, but the biggest change has been in her confidence. She now believes in her abilities, carries herself differently, and approaches challenges with a much more positive mindset. The structure of the classes, the encouragement from the instructors, and the values they promote really set this academy apart. It’s more than just martial arts, it’s building character, resilience, and self-belief. I’d highly recommend Nikos Martial Arts Academy to any parent looking to help their child grow in confidence while learning valuable skills in a safe and supportive setting.

We’ve had such a fantastic experience at Niko’s Academy. Since my son started, I’ve seen a real improvement in his discipline, focus, and ability to stay calm and still when needed. It’s not just about learning techniques — they genuinely teach it as a way of life, which has made a big difference to him. He’s also learning valuable self-defence skills, which gives me real confidence as a parent. The instructors are supportive, patient, and clearly passionate about what they do. We couldn’t be happier with the progress Gabriel has made, and we wouldn’t go anywhere else. Highly recommend!

Niko’s Martial Arts Academy has been amazing for our son. He has been attending classes coming up to a year and we can see he has achieved so much especially his confidence and discipline. Such an amazing team working alongside niko, always good to see his family interacting aswell. Our son had to have time off due to an operation and was amazed when niko and his team sent a card to him wishing him welll and a speedy recovery which shows its not just the teaching aspect its the actual connection with each individual person aswell. Keep up the fantastic work and thank you for everything you have done and continue to do for our son. Shaun & Samantha.

Can't recommend Niko's martial arts academy enough. My 6 year old and 9 year old with additional needs have been going for nearly a year. The team are so positive and inspiring that's is impossible to leave without a smile. The kids learn much more than just martial art techniques. The atmosphere is friendly and not intimidating. Whether you want to compete in MMA or just try something new. It's the place to go. Thanks Niko and team for everything x

Joining Niko’s Martial Arts Academy has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made!! I’ve been attending the ladies only kick-boxing class for the last year and it’s amazing. Niko and the rest of the team are fantastic instructors. So friendly and helpful and a joy to spend time with. Since joining the academy, I feel I have become stronger both mentally and physically and learnt a new skill that I never thought I would be able to. It’s also a fantastic group of ladies and has become a great social outlet as well as serving on the exercise side. I look forward to the sessions each week, and always have so much fun as well as coming away feeling such a sense of accomplishment. I highly recommend joining!!

If you’re looking for somewhere to boost your confidence, improve your fitness and develop your discipline all through martial arts then Niko’s Martial Arts Academy is the place to be. My son attended a workshop at the start of the year and enjoyed it so much he asked to join the academy. He has now been training six months and loves his lessons. Each session brings new skills, new techniques and confidence building in a safe environment. Niko and his team of instructors are extremely welcoming and invest in each of their students. The academy has a warming family ethos and it’s wonderful to see families training together. I have recently joined ladies kickboxing and am thoroughly enjoying the lessons. The sessions are fun, friendly and equally delivery a high standard of kickboxing technique.

My daughters joined in February 2024, they both love attending, we even had to swap their swimming lesson because they wanted to attend 3 times a week. My eldest daughter has grown in confidence which was the initial reason for joining. Niko and the team are great with the kids, if they have had a bad day they feel they can talk about it and open up with the instructors. They leave each lesson with a smile on their face and skills to practice. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to support their child in building confidence, fitness, structure and respect!
