I first got into martial arts back in 1998 at the age of 20 when I started training at The School…read moreof Hope and Glory in Leicester. Arriving for my first class I found the instructors (Derek Smith & Lynda Bryan) friendly and very welcoming. I found the classes really hard work but the atmosphere was relaxed but positive, I have since achieved black belt status and I compete in prestigous tournaments such as:- Irish Open, WAKO British Nationals and Cimac to name a few and with results I may add! I have noticed a lot of changes in myself, I have improved strength, flexibility, balance, mental strength and concentration. I would certainly recommend martial arts to anyone, even if only fitness training is what they are looking for as it trains the whole body! Nick (1st Dan)

(scared the life out of them) I was eager to find a club for my 5 and 8 year old that they would enjoy, whilst learning. They joined just a couple of months ago and absolutely love going to the classes week after week. The instructor is very proffessional and is especially good with the younger ones. He ensures that it is kept as much fun and as exciting as possible. Making sure their personal, social and emotional development comes first. Which not only as a parent, but also a proffesional who works with 3-5's realises just how important this is. I truely believe that at such a young age it's about welcoming the children, rewarding good efforts and with that comes respect from both sides. He is also equally as good with the older kids, ensuring it is still fun, whilst introducing more of the different key elements involved. I am extremely pleased with my boys progress and feel happy to know they are being taugh by someone who shows enthusiasm and positivity towards them. It is good to finally find someone who is actually interested in discovering the childrens passion for martial arts. So well done and keep up the good work Mr Deacon.
