What our students have to say

Krish is an excellent teacher and really tailors his teaching to skill levels as I had a boxing background. I have built up much strength and flexibility since joining! As a fan of MMA, I love the level of detail with which Krish teaches both striking and Jujitsu.
JamieClub Member - 1 Year
Training with Krisian has been an incredible experience. His focus on self-defense is especially empowering for me as a woman. Krisian's teaching style is very engaging, making every session both challenging and fun!
MasyClub Member - 1 Year
Our instructor's attentiveness and communication skills make learning new techniques a seamless process. It's a great place which I would highly recommend to get in shape, learn essential self-defence techniques, and meet a bunch of friendly folks.
GuankeClub Member - 10 Months
Inclusive and friendly martial arts classes, covering a range of techniques in a safe environment. Krish is a fantastic instructor, using his extensive experience to make classes fun, yet still focused. He skillfully caters for all levels, ages and experiences such that all feel challenged.
HelenClub Member - 9 Months
I’ve been training in martial arts since I was five years old, and I can confidently say that Krish’s classes are some of the best I’ve ever attended. The improvements I’ve made under his guidance have been through the roof!
LeoClub Member - 7 Months
Great self-defence classes with very varied sessions. Krisian is an excellent teacher who is very approachable and always keen to make the classes fun and suitable for mixed ability levels.
FionaClub Member - 4 Months
Been attending for a few months and have increased my confidence, improved self defence skills over time, and met a lot of new friends who I've improved with. Loved every session 😊 10/10
CrisClub Member - 2 Months
Best self defence class I’ve been to! I would highly recommend to anybody that is looking to gain skills and experience in kickboxing and jujitsu, I look forward to our sessions every day, Thank you Krish for the confidence boost in my abilities
CatClub Member - 1 month
I have thoroughly enjoyed my time learning valuable self defence skills in this dynamic Martial Arts club. Each session is unique and I left every one feeling like I had learned something new!
KatieClub Member - 1 month
Fantastic MMA Club mixing in Karate and Jujitsu with some tough conditioning. I highly recommend it, the coach is very involved in your development and you will be taught the fundamentals properly.
