What a great place this is.
The instructors are experts and great at transferring their knowledge through bit-size breakdowns that any person can understand.
The atmosphere in the gym is very welcoming and has become our families second home.
– KERRY P.
I have just finished the beginner course and I can’t recommend it enough.
It has offered me a great insight into the sport, awesome workouts, and a lot of fun along the way.
As a complete novice I felt welcomed, involved and engaged from day one.
Thank you very much, I can’t wait for the next session.
– DAN H.
You guys are doing something right that’s for sure!
My son isn’t the most confident, he started in the summer, and now attends the regular sessions. The fact he wants to keep coming back is testament to how you make him feel while he is there.
So high praise from a proud mum. Thank you.

This place is tremendous. The people are a joy to train with and Tom and Chelsea are as adorable as they are knowledgable.
The whole place is cleaned by professional cleaners every day. You can also buy Gi’s, rashguards, tape ect in house.
