“Only started last week but the sessions are excellent, I am brand new but the other students I have been training alongside are black belts or working towards and are all very supportive. I suffer with severe negative body image, depression and anxiety but can't tell you enough how amazing everyone is. I feel very well supported and welcome here. I have seen many posts about price, yes its a fair amount but at 2 sessions a week works out at £10 a session and for the experiance and support that to me seems well worth it.”

“Fantastic hall for hire! Spacious, well priced & well maintained.”
“Dan’s method of assessment and treatment is completely different to any other therapist I have met in the past. I came to him with a long list of sports related injuries, some of which were linked to scar tissue and past injuries! Most of the issues were resolved within 4-6 sessions. I still go for ongoing maintenance as and when required. If you’re open minded, give NKT a try. Dan is personable and a well trained professional in NKT, highly recommend.”

“I've been attending this club now for nearly 10 years and I've loved every single second of it. I've gone from being a shy 11 year old who really lacked confidence to someone who has the confidence to go out into the world and that's largely due to this club and the fantastic tuition I've received over the years. I've had the opportunity to rise through the grades, take part in demonstrations and tournaments and even teach others - but I've also just relaxed and enjoyed having fun doing something I love. I've made a whole lot of friends too! Not only has this club made a massive impact on my life, it has also changed my brother's life too. Like me he was shy and had very little confidence. The first time he came along with me he didn't want to do anything except go home...now he is well on his way to black belt and he loves every second. This club isn't a club that forces you into competing or doing more than you want to/should. Its a club that lets you choose your pace. It requires a degree of dedication - as any martial art does - but its up to you how much you put in. The instructors are brilliant and knowledgeable, and the club members are all fantastic. You'll never feel out of place. At a great club like this one, learning taekwondo is an amazing experience. Taekwondo keeps you fit and active. It pushes you to achieve without forcing you to go too far. It gives you a chance to let off steam, have fun and compete against others. It reaches you respect and courtesy and to have faith in yourself and others. Taekwondo is a way of life that lets you define yourself. No matter how young or old you are taekwondo always has something to offer. And take it from me, it's definitely worth a try!”
