Going to Dragon's Academy is the favourite part of my week. Everyone is really nice. I have improved my fitness and manners, and I feel very confident. Come give us a try.
A truly fantastic martial arts club! My children absolutely love coming here — it’s such a welcoming, family-friendly environment. The instructors are incredible: patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in every child’s progress. You can really see how much they care about my children and help building confidence, discipline, and respect while keeping classes fun and engaging. They have helped guide my children through any concerns, school worries and help them prepare for grading. They have covered stranger danger, first aid and medical emergencies regularly which is amazing. The sense of community is wonderful too — everyone, from beginners to advanced students, is encouraged and supported. The same faces have been members for years and make such efforts with all students. My kids have grown so much since joining. I can’t recommend this club enough for anyone looking for a positive, inspiring place to train together! Master Claire especially knows my children’s personalities inside and out and we cannot thank her enough for her caring nature and support over the years. The Kidman’s ☺️
Have been a member since March 2016 and joining was one of the best decisions I ever made for lots of reasons! Everyone is treated as a member of the Dragons family as soon as they join and even with the increasing size, every member’s need and ability is taken into account. This club can only go from strength to strength and I cannot wait to see where it goes next!
Brilliant family run business, when you or your child becomes a member you literally become a part of the dragons family straight away
Brilliant club with a lovely family atmosphere. They've given my boys the confidence and drive to excel in more than just their martial arts, they'd live there if they could. No pressure to buy lots of unnecessary equipment and pay extortionate fees just so you can train like some martial arts clubs.
Amazing club with truly talented, inspirational and friendly instructors, their passion, knowledge and commitment is evident in every training session. I had tried several martial arts club before Dragons Academy and none of the others even come close to Dragons. I have met so many great people and martial artists since beginning my Taekwondo training at Dragons Academy and I've felt like part of the club since my very first session.
Fantastic Family run martial arts Academy, My son isn't old enough to train but loves going to Diddy Dragons play group!
