My daughter Olivia loves it here, and her confidence has really grown. She’s learning to defend herself and also enjoys the mat chats about friendship, gratitude, respect and other values. The staff are incredible; the timetable provides great flexibility. We are so pleased with our decision to get her involved!

Craig along with his team of experienced sensei's run a fantastic dojo with a welcoming and community driven atmosphere. My 7 year old son has been attending classes here for almost 2 years and we’ve seen his confidence and discipline grow significantly. All sensei's are knowledgeable and patient making sure each student learns at their own pace while still being challenged - 
Birthday Parties  How would you like to have a birthday party where all you have to do is book your time, hand out your invites, buy a cake and turn up on the day. We do everything else for you including clean up the mess afterwards.

My son has been a member since he was 5 - he's now almost 11 and still loving it. I don't think he'll stop either which is great. As a parent I'm very grateful for my son to have good adult influences outside of school and family and Thornbury Martial Arts provides just that - physical training, self defence skills, fun & games and good adult influences in a safe environment.

​I can't recommend it enough, what the sensei's at Thornbury Martial Arts do for kids is phenomenal!

Brilliant school- set up really well for kids (and adults), multiple classes divided by age, very motivating for kids to progress through belts, teachers all great with kids and supportive, additional discussions on discipline and motivation, concurrent fitness / boxing classes for parents on at the same time. I can’t recommend guests highly enough- great for all ages / genders / stages / fitness levels!!!
