“My biggest fear before joining was my age. I thought I was too old to start something like this, especially since I had zero experience in martial arts. But the community here is incredible. I’ve met people of all ages, from their 20s to their 60s, and everyone is just here to improve and have fun. Simon takes time to explain things and make sure you go at your own pace. I feel stronger, and it’s helped my stress levels too. Don’t let age hold you back!”

“I’ve always wanted to try martial arts, but I wasn’t sure how I'd fit in since it seemed like a younger person’s thing. But after joining, I realised it’s for anyone who’s willing to put in the effort. The coach don’t care about your starting level; just about how hard you work and your willingness to learn.”

“I joined my first martial arts class with zero experience and a lot of self-doubt. I wasn’t in the best shape, and I was scared everyone would judge me. But what I found was a group of people who were all on their own journeys, and no one cared if you were just starting out. There is lots to learn, but it is so rewarding. It's been an amazing confidence booster, and now I can’t imagine not training!”

“As a 50-year-old who had never even done a push-up before, I was really apprehensive. I thought I would be too slow, too unfit, or too out of place among younger, fitter people. But I couldn’t have been more wrong. The training sessions are designed for all skill levels, and everyone progresses at their own pace. The instructors are patient, and the other participants are supportive. It’s not about competing with others; it’s about challenging yourself. My stamina has improved drastically, and I feel healthier than I have in years. I only wish I’d started sooner!”

“I have really enjoyed Simon’s class. I have learnt so much, and feel more confident in everyday life. I would thoroughly recommend to anyone that is looking to learn self defence skills”
