I was immediately impressed at the staff and setup of the Thornbury dojo. It is one of the most comfortable places to train martial arts in, with incredibly friendly and knowledgeable instructors who show genuine passion for what they do.

We started martial arts four years ago and we couldn't be happier. Every class, every new technique, it's drilled in to the kids how to dodge, how to avoid a fight, and if absolutely necessary, how to end a fight as quickly and with as little damage as possible.
