Private, discreet & friendly
Our martial arts centre is a private family run facility. Because it's not just open to the general public like a sports centre or church hall you don't have to ever feel self conscious about people 'gawping' from the sidelines; because we don't allow spectators in our fitness classes- if you come along you're joining in!
Our centre has a full range of Kettlebells for you to use in the classes, as well as a huge range of focus pads, kicking shields, punch bags, body opponent bags; all things that make your Cardio Kickboxing or martial arts classes that much better than amateur classes in a centre or a church hall. Mark & Jacqui are both full time professional instructors. Most instructors are amateur instructors who teach a couple of times a week & have another job. Because Mark & Jacqui are professional instructors it means that they spend a huge amount of time developing their skills & their class syllabuses. The difference this makes to the quality of your training is massive, as you get the most up-to-date & cutting edge training methods in every class.
Despite this, our classes are very reasonably priced for what we offer. Why train under an amateur part time instructor in a bare hall when you could train under a super experienced professional instructor in a specially equipped private martial arts centre?
