I did the trial here back in May. I wasn't told that there would be sparring on my first class…read more Luckily, I have some training because I was able to dodge the spinning hook kicks one of the students used on me. There isn't much room either to spar with the hanging bags. I took another class and the instructor was texting on his phone a lot. There are not enough MT beginner classes offered here since they just throw everyone into one giant Muay Thai pool. I found another spot that was better.

Also known as the âHidden Gymâ as it's secluded behind the main street and you wouldn't ât know it was there unless told, it is a solid gym with two padded dojo's and one large room of gym equipment. The gym plays host to a variety of Martial arts which cater for all levels and many classes have as large a female following as men. There are also lots of classes for kids with some top class instructors which your kids will love and will keep them fit. The showers in the men's aren't great, I have no knowledge of the women's, but the classes and level of instruction are good enough to overcompensate.

Tokei Martial Arts & Fitness centre has become a leading light in martial health over the years…read more They have a good array of classes, both hard and soft styles. The inclusion of yoga and pilates has been very popular. It is the martial arts though that is the draw. For one monthly fee of £29.95 you can enjoy the full list of classes including karate, wrestling, kickboxing and many, many more. The karate taught by Orlando is especially good. His style is Kyokushin. He was recently over at the World Championships in South Africa competing with several of his students. There is also a well equipped gymnasium that you can use which is included in the membership. If you are interested in martial arts this is a must see place.

I cannot recommend this highly enough!…read more I first joined Chang's Hapkido Academy when I was 15 - it was a fantastic place to get fit, meet new people and increase my confidence levels. Sadly, I had to leave when I moved out of London for University - while I was away I tried a number of other martial art schools (sulkido/tkd/judo) but that just really made me realise what I had left behind: nothing even came close to this club - the quality of instruction, the friendliness, the culture... So, the second I moved back to London I went straight back to CHA and started from scratch again as a white belt! I have been back for about 2 years now. So why join CHA...? The ethos: The class is so polite and disciplined and non-competitive. It means there's a strong emphasis on technique and personal development. All ages and abilities are welcome and everyone can get a lot out of it. I've never felt at risk of injury. The club is well-matched gender wise and completely female-friendly. The ki sessions and general life-lessons that are imparted on the way also start to have a positive impact on the rest of your life. The instructor: Saboumnim is brilliant! No where else will you get such a level of individual attention and dedication. The supporting black-belts are also fantastic. You never go a class without coming away with something new. Really inspirational. The martial art: A total mix of techniques (punches, kicks, sparring, throws, locks), never stagnating or dull, always something new to learn. The people: Everyone is so friendly, supportive and encouraging. It makes it a really easy, relaxed environment. You get to experience a range of diffierent opponents and body-types, too, which helps hone the skills! The club operates in multiple locations, all in easy reach of the city. Definitely give it a try for one or two classes to see if its for you! Pip
