Martial arts made an appearance in my life during a particular nihilistic episode of my life. I have grown in these past few years into a man that has a more positive outlook on life. This change, however, was not only my own doing; being surrounded by fantastic people has played a massive role. These people have inculcated discipline for training and joy for helping others, and more importantly, they have installed in me a fascination for martial arts. Through martial arts I have found an inner strength and a determination that I had not witnessed before. martial arts in these past years has become an integral part of me, I cannot see myself not training nor engaged with it in my near future.
My 6yr old has wanted to do martial arts ever since he was 3 years old and discovered that he could learn to do the moves that SpiderMan does. My wife and I were keen for him to learn, I had done martial arts a few years ago and really enjoyed it and knew that physically and mentally martial arts can teach you things you can’t get from anywhere else. We tried a few places with him but were not getting the interaction or feedback we wanted - other places (rightly or wrongly) seem(ed) to be only interested in getting people through the door. From Day 1 Mr Haggerty and Mr Wragg have been very welcoming and took a real interest in our sons physical development and the program they run also has a keen focus on life skills development. My son has a new interest and is really enjoying his journey. Castle is like a family and they will give you back what you put in. After a few weeks I decided to join their adult program with an initial goal of improving my fitness but also to give me something to share with my son(s). Our diet as a family has changed, and as family we have a renewed focus on fitness in and outside of class. We would 100% recommend Castle if you are looking for something to enhance your children’s physical and mental development, to give them the skills needed to develop both at home and at school in a safe and trusted environment with one of Castles excellent teaches. Equally, if you are looking to rediscover your fitness that is underpinned by a program that encourages the right activity to achieve that both physically and mentally, then give Castle a go - you won’t be disappointed. The focus on becoming a black belt is very exciting. If you need any further (non-bias) input about what you can expect, then I’d be only too happy to share out experience further.
My son has been attending Castle martial arts for 6 months now and he really enjoys it. The team are amazing. This class has really improved my sons confidence and self esteem. He has met some great friends and always comes out with a big smile on his face.
Thank you Mrs Houghton and Mrs Morewood your the best x
great approach to children, help in teaching the child to respect others as well as myself
Our family joined the Castle family in January and the team have been nothing but supportive and encouraging in helping us achieve our goals as a family. They are great with our youngest son who doesn't always have the best focus and concentration and him achieving his next belt last night was a true credit to them. It is great to have something we can all do together as a family and have the same enthusiasm for.
Fantastic martial arts school for children of all needs and ages. Jack has only been attending a month or so and it amazes me how much his confidence has grown. Really supportive and encouraging staff that are just supberb with each and every child. Couldn't talk more highly of them ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
My son started Castle Martial Arts a few months ago. The impact that the classes have had upon his confidence, concentration and perseverance has been phenomenal and way beyond even our highest expectations. Both me and my wife work in the education sector, the quality of the teaching and the way that every participant is treated differently yet as an equal is to the highest level that I’ve ever seen.
My son Ibrahim started with castle Martial arts in September 2021 and is really enjoying it! Lovely martial art teachers who motivate and make it fun. He is currently yellow belt and is chuffed ?. Would defo recommend to others.
This is so much more than a sports club! The fantastic holistic approach to child development extends into home life (and also acts as personal coaching for me!). Mrs Houghton is hands down one of the best teachers I have had the privilege to observe and I’m a secondary school head of department in my 20th year! The mixed age classes work so well, she is responsive to every student, demands excellent discipline in class and has a fabulous sense of humour. Our little man is so excited to be on his black belt journey, he is developing in confidence, has shown much better self control and now channels his enthusiasm for physical activity in a much safer way. Thank you for the endless hard work and commitment! (Oh and the Ninja warriors trip was fabulous too!)
Brilliant staff, caring and professional. They promote health and well-being alongside MMA training
My son absolutely loves it here at Castle Martial Arts. The staff are absolutely fantastic and it’s been great watching Dexter grow and improve here and at home. I would highly recommend coming here ???
Our kids started here about 2 years ago and they both love it. We feel welcomed and valued. They have learnt so much until now. Every instructor has been great! Martial arts has been such a great experience for our kids. They are being taught values such as hard work, sincerity, courage, discipline, respect, perseverance, being responsible etc. We are so grateful to be a part of Castle MMA.
Amazing place with quality teaching. Strongly recommended for all who are ready for adventure with Martial Arts and generally self-defense. Outstanding absolutely outstanding!!!!
I highly recommend joining. The teachers are welcoming and encouraging. Their classes are excellent, and great for developing skills, fitness, and confidence.
Both my Son and I train with Castle and have been for over 18 months. The confidence it has given my Son is amazing and I've never felt fitter and stronger in my life.
The lessons help my daughter overcome her shyness and gain more confidence in herself. it is not just about kicking and punching but more about overcoming your shorts, help to be better person physically and mentally. Mr. lee is the best who is helping my daughter to be a better person and a good leader.
Mr Lee the teacher is a great motivater, not only does he teach martial arts but about being a propa, respectful kind and well mannered human being, would really recommend
My ASD son Adam has been attending a year now and he is still loving it. I cant thank mrs Houghton and Mr. Haggerty enough for all focus and support they give him he has gone from an all around quiet timid little boy to a very outgoing strong independent 10 year old who is able to feel he can approach other children with confidence. I am really pleased with how he is now and continues to do well this has been the best place we ever brought him to and would highly reccommend castle martial arts to anybody xx
Mr Lee, Mr Wragg and all the team at castle are the best instructors I have ever met. They really care about getting the best from all the students. Would recommend this academy with 5* stars
