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.
