CT-MartialArts (Calcot & Tilehurst Kickboxing) Reading

Reviews

1. Hakan Onur ★★★★★

   Both my 12-year-old daughter and 6-year-old son attend the CT-Martial Arts Burghfield sessions on Fridays, and I couldn’t be more impressed. They absolutely love it — every week they come home buzzing with energy, confidence, and stories of what they’ve learned. This isn’t just kickboxing. It’s a brilliant blend of physical discipline, mental focus, and social values. My children are learning how to use their minds and bodies together, how to be respectful and kind, and most importantly, how to stand up for themselves and others. It’s empowering in the best possible way. The group is a great size — big enough for energy and variety, but small enough for personal attention. The main instructor, Dan, is outstanding. He’s incredibly friendly, deeply committed, and has earned the respect of every child in the room. His ability to connect with kids while maintaining structure and discipline is truly impressive. If you’re a parent looking for something that builds character, confidence, and community — I wholeheartedly recommend CT-Martial Arts. It’s been a fantastic experience for our family, and I’m sure it will be for yours too.

   CT Martial Arts is fantastic! My two sons (14 and 9) and I all train here and absolutely love it. The club is welcoming to all ages and genders, with a real team spirit that makes you feel part of something special. The instructors are brilliant, and the community links with local schools show how established and respected the club is in the area. My boys have grown in confidence, discipline, and self-belief — I couldn’t ask for more.

   Our 7 year old absolutely loves these classes and looks forward to them every week. They run throughout the whole year which makes it really convenient for families. The teachers are excellent at building a positive relationship with the children and creating an atmosphere where they feel encouraged and supported. It is the first activity our son has really committed to and we have seen a huge difference in his confidence. He has even made friends through the group which has been wonderful to see. We travel from Henley every week just so he can attend and it is completely worth the journey. If you are looking for a way to keep your child active and engaged and they are not interested in football or rugby, this is such a fantastic option. We would highly recommend these classes to other families.

   I enrolled all three of my sons in kickboxing classes, and it’s been a fantastic experience for them. Each of them has a different personality and learning style, yet the instructors have managed to engage them equally. The classes are well-structured, balancing discipline with fun. My boys are learning proper technique, but more importantly, they’re developing confidence, respect, and focus. The coaches are patient but firm, encouraging my sons to push themselves while still making the sessions enjoyable. Physically, I’ve noticed a big improvement in their strength, coordination, and stamina. They also come home with a sense of accomplishment after each class. It’s been especially rewarding to see how they support each other as BROTHERS.

   Bertie loves kickboxing Summer camp– it’s perfect for energetic kids to burn off energy while having loads of fun and learning real skills. The coaches are fantastic, keeping things safe, engaging, and confidence-building. I know he’s active, happy, and well looked after. Plus, with three locations, it’s easy to fit into our week. Highly recommend!

   I highly recommend anyone to join Dan and the CT Martial Arts crew. Whether you are young or older, fit or not, strong and weak, Dan and the group will welcome you with open arms. Classes are always loads of fun and I always feel great afterwards. I love how much stronger and fitter I’ve become, as well as the fact I feel safer now that I know some self defence moves. My daughter does Dan’s self defence class and LOVES it! Indeed I’ve never known her talk so highly of any class ever before! As a parent, it’s so reassuring to know she has learnt essential self defence skills, especially as a young female teenager. As an instructor, Dan is brilliant. Fun, clear and incredibly experienced. He is genuinely passionate about helping you get fit, become strong and feel safe. Thank you Dan!
