Absolutely amazing for children and adults. Everyone is so welcoming and the best parts are the age range classes are all split up so adults do not train with children and all the instructors are lovely.

Very, very friendly and welcoming! Both for adults and kids. I've had no previous gym or martial arts experience whatsoever and they were very helpful and understanding.

My son Henry who is 7 has been going Kuk Sool for about 18 months and he absolutely loves it. Not only has he found a love for martial arts but it has really helped his confidence and his general behaviour. The facilities, the instructors the structure of the classes all is spot on as well as being welcoming and very friendly. Highly recommend for all ages
