I've trained on and off in various martial arts for the last 15 to 20 years so have had lots of first sessions. I've had two sessions and I'm thoroughly impressed with the instruction, facilities and fellow students. There's a great culture of fun, helpfulness and training which you can tell has been instilled by the teaching. Sparring is fun, effective but also has a great emphasis on safety which is fully explained by instructors for all students, especially us newcomers. Can't wait for my next session. Would already recommend.

5/5 stars. Amazing staff and coaches that go above and beyond in every single way. I did my free training here for the UWCB event as well as the regular timetabled boxing classes. Coaches are very knowledgeable and full of tips to point you in the right direction on your journey ,whether you’re a complete novice or even have experience you’ll learn something new every session. The atmosphere is amazing and truly feels like a family. Everyone respects everyone and everyone is there to learn and push others to strive for better. Ego’s get left at the door regardless. Wonderful academy and will be continuing my training here for the foreseeable future. Couldn’t recommend them more. If you’re thinking of signing up regardless of age,weight,height etc. GO FOR IT!!!

You're looking for a scathing review so you can skip getting fit. Keep scrolling. As someone who tried to find excuses to avoid the gym ( / to avoid moving at all in life), I stumbled upon this gem. I reluctantly signed up when I was at my weakest, lowest and laziest. I really didn't want to but I went and I haven't regretted it. If you're looking to get fit, feel stronger and feel happier then go. If you're someone who needs a gentle nudge, a friendly punch or a therapeutic kick as motivation then go. Or if you are just someone who needs another way to vent after being banned from the driving range then go. The drive they give you to keep going is real, the training they provide is top-shelf and the strength you will discover is genuinely surprising. Also, somehow they make it surprisingly fun! DISCLAIMER: It is hard work. It is exhausting. You will feel pain in places you had forgotten you had but it's during a storm a tree finds out how strong it can be....and what it ate from breakfast! Just go. Eventually it gets hard finding excuses. Your inner lazy bar-steward will thank you for it.

My son aged 10 now but joined aged 7 attends this kickboxing club and they are without doubt the best run club around. The coaches have so much patience with ALL of the children it is admirable. Highly recommend this for your child
