What do our students have to say about us?

My 11 year old has been a part of the Academy for almost 3 years now, is just about to grade for her black belt, and the holistic approach doesn't just prepare a person to recognise the many dangers encountered on the streets today and how to avoid them rather than the need to protect oneself, it teaches everyone about how to be a decent, respectful, confident person who treats others the same way as they would like to be treated themselves, to stand up for those who struggle to stand up for themselves; and in the worst case scenario how to effectively defend oneself. Sifus Tony and Dan are very patient, excellent instructors, Leanne a very warm, welcoming face of TMA and in Cameron they have an assistant all the kids love. In the 3 years I have known them there has never been a doubt that I did the right thing by my daughter in enrolling her, and the team mentioned above are people I now consider friends.

Total Martial Arts has been a great training academy for my son not just for learning one of the most important arts but also in changing his personality in a highly positive manner. We, as parents, have seen a significant changes in our son's approach towards handling tasks that required a bit of extra courage and self confidence in addition to what he already had. The trainers exhibit a great sense of commitment, inclusivity and friendly approach towards training the children. Above all they add a personal touch by sending individual appreciations, wishes and progress report. Highly recommended for children.

I've been training with Total Martial Arts for about 4 years now and I can highly recommend them to anyone looking to try martial arts.

They are a family club which means there are no egos and it's not an intimidating environment. The people who train there are just like me, normal folk with normal jobs who wanted to learn how to defend themselves.

They have four arts to choose from and they include practical and effective self-defence training in all their classes, which is great.

If you have ever wondered about starting martial arts, these guys are the ones to call. You won't regret it.

I've been a member of TMA for just over 3 months attending JKD classes usually two or three times a week. There is a very friendly and inclusive atmosphere at the club and if you are finding it hard to start with everyone supports you and you are always encouraged and never made to feel bad. I've just done my first grading after about 25 sessions which was soon enough for me and I wasn't pushed at all, the instructors are patient and always take the time to understand what you want from the training. If you don't understand something the instructors are always approachable and helpful. I would highly recommend this club for all ages and abilities.

Everyone is so friendly and as I just started to learn I cannot believe how much time the teachers and the students will take for helping new students. Definitely would recommend it!
