Both my children (Jack age 9, Ursula age 11) started Martial arts Sept 2002. In the last year I’ve noticed not only improvement in their overall fitness but their increased confidence, poise and self esteem have been a testament to Wayne + Mandy’s encouragement and professionalism.

A fantastic Family activity! Haven’t been so fit for years. I know lots of new people and consider them friends.

Milo (age 6) really enjoys his Lessons and is always pleased when he is able to master new moves or drills. Although a confident boy before, I am sure the classes have increased his confidence overall. He is also becoming physically stronger and fitter.

Thoroughly enjoyable way of keeping fit, increasing flexibility, toning up and a great way to meet new friends.

My kids (Cassie age 12 and Beth age 7) joined the academy when it first opened and when the ladies class started up not long after, I thought it would be an ideal time to start myself. Not only do I have a shared interest with my children but I am doing a regular exercise program which has enabled me to lose weight and gain confidence.

It has given me an interest and I have met new friends.
Cassie Charles (age 12)

I enjoy Martial arts . I have gained power, confidence, friends, focus and determination in a safe friendly atmosphere. And the weight loss is just a plus.

I find Martial arts very enjoyable, as it has helped my fitness and also boosted my self- esteem. The training syllabus is carried out in a friendly no pressure atmosphere, which I think is beneficial to the students’ progression.

Both Jamie and Charlie Hodgkinson thoroughly enjoy karate. They really look forward to doing it. They are gaining in confidence, learning a new discipline and also respect, especially the staff at the academy.

Kickboxing is great fun, its challenging and sometimes you really have to push yourself to meet your goals. The harder you work at it the better you feel, your skill, fitness, concentration and figure all improve.
