Having just completed my first 100 days as a member at the Tōukon Academy, I can honestly say it was the best decision. Having heard so many great things about the art, through friends and podcasts, I knew it was something I had to try. The Tōukon Academy is an exceptional martial arts school that truly stands out in both its teaching and community spirit. David Webb the professor and owner at the Tōukon Academy, is a fantastic teacher and mentor and is always so welcoming and really puts me at ease - he shows a real interest in you as a person. His knowledge and enthusiasm for the sport is truly inspiring. David is supported by coaches Sunny and Harrison, who are both fantastic teachers, with in-depth knowledge, that can break down often complicated movements with ease. David and his team are incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about their craft, creating a welcoming and motivating environment for students of all levels. Whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced practitioner, the academy offers a variety of classes that focus on skill development, discipline, and respect. The facilities are top-notch, providing ample space for training and a clean, safe atmosphere. I’ve found the academy’s approach to teaching to be very thorough, focusing not just on technique, but also on personal growth and confidence-building. The sense of camaraderie among the students is equally impressive, fostering an inclusive and supportive environment. I highly recommend The Tōukon Academy to anyone looking to develop their martial arts skills while being part of a positive, encouraging community!

The Tōukon Academy is a very welcoming, friendly environment and has a wealth of knowledge. The introduction classes are perfect to ease into the sport as a beginner, each class is essentially a master class from David, Sunny and Harrison. The level of detail and help is second to none. The gym is set up for high level competition, but they do not push this on you at all, great for competing or as a hobby. Thank you David and the team.

Having stepped into The Tōukon Academy as a complete beginner in BJJ, I could not have asked for a more welcoming and constructive environment in which to start a new sport. David’s methods of teaching really help to break down often complicated techniques and his sincere attitude to helping students means that I always feel comfortable asking questions. This also applies to Sunny who takes the Thursday evening classes. Whether it be the white belt introductory course, open mats or the weekly Judo class, there’s so much on offer I couldn’t recommend The Tōukon Academy more.
