Firstly I’d like to thank James, Heather and the team for providing a fantastic facility to nurture the skills of adults and children alike. They run a professional yet friendly environment to develop all manner of martial arts and in turn interactive skills. They always go above and beyond to help their students and provide a safe space to train that feels like a family environment. They are very welcoming to everyone new that wants to give training a go. The coaches are remarkably skilled and patient, firm but fair with the children and youths that attend, bringing out the best in them. Both my children, a boy and a girl attended several different classes at Elite, they love them all and thrive in the environment provided. They have both gained in confidence since attending, particularly my daughter. The gym also has a very capable fighting team that compete at high levels across several disciplines, although they are good competitors, they are also always glad to help out and advise all levels. I honestly can’t recommend Elite tc enough. Give it a go!
