Great Atmosphere

I have been training for around two and a half years with South West Martial Arts and have used all locations for both Taekwondo and Kickboxing. The atmosphere created by Jennie and indeed all students is second to none and encourages progression for the wide age range of people it caters for.

Life Skills….

My daugther has been a member of SWMA for 8 years. After having very poor balance it improved immensely in 6 months. It’s given her strength, confidence, and the self-defence skills that make me happier when she goes out with her friends. These are life skills that are never lost, and it can help our youth find a good balance of strength, agility, and confidence.

I have been training at the club for 10 years.

I have been training at the club for 10 years now. The classes offer a structured syllabus for those that want to grade and progress through the Kick Boxing curriculum, and fitness training for those that want to get in shape and improve flexibility. Ma’am has a wealth of experience to share with the class building each lesson and tailoring to meet the students needs and abilities.

Amazing

I started about 4 years ago with SWMA, in the beginning I was very self conscious , poor balance/fitness skills and no martial arts training. I worried I wouldn’t be able to do it but right off the bat the atmosphere was welcoming, encouraging and understanding. Jenn is an amazing instructor and her many years of experience shows when she teaches. you can tell she is passionate about what she… Read more “Amazing”

A club that caters for all.

I initially enrolled my son and daughter, to instil some self confidence in them. They took to Tae Kwon Do so well that they managed to drag me from the spectator bench into the action. All levels are welcome, and we have thoroughly enjoyed all of the activities. We’ve all taken part in classes, gradings, squad and tournament training ; and also two Summer Camps. I and my boy have… Read more “A club that caters for all.”

Little Dragons

My Daughter (aged 5) started back in July, She absolutely LOVES little dragon and counts down all week for her next lesson. its fantastic for the little ones to learn discipline, respect, self defense but most of all to build there confidence. The instructor is happy and friendly towards the children and the parents. I would highly recommend this group for your children or yourselfs.

After taking a year off

After taking a year off from Martial Arts due to an injury, I started looking for a new club. I tried a few different ones, but straight away I knew that this was going to be the club for me. There is an array of student at varying levels and the teaching we receive from Ma’am is exceptional. I would recommend this club to anyone!

A great, friendly club

I’ve been training at SWMA for about 6 months now and have really enjoyed my time here. I wanted to return to Kickboxing after several years hiatus and decided to take SWMA up on their “2 free lessons” promotion to see what it was like. I arrived with my daughter who I expected to sit quietly in the corner on her tablet for an hour while I trained. Instead, she was welcomed… Read more “A great, friendly club”

Kickboxing is great

I have been kickboxing for nearly a year now. I really enjoy the sparring and the tournament training – especially the beep test as this helps with my fitness. The people in the class are really nice and encourage you in a way that makes you feel comfortable. Ma’am is a great teacher and explains the different techniques really well and lets me practice them. I recommend kickboxing greatly as… Read more “Kickboxing is great”

An excellent introduction for young children

My son started at the junior taekwondo classes before leaving primary, I encouraged this to give him more confidence when entering into secondary school. The classes are excellent because they are not too pushy and allow young children to develop and feel comfortable as they learn. The children, a mix of girls and boys, receive individual attention as well as partaking in group activities. In addition to the weekly classes… Read more “An excellent introduction for young children”
