My son started kickboxing at lightening martial arts in September and now both myself and my daughter have joined. We all love it and the team there, everyone is welcoming and supportive with great team spirit. I also attend the circuits which are always challenging. The price is very competitive and affordable, highly recommend training here.

Started the BJJ classes about 9 months ago with the kids, it's now our new favorite thing. It's improved our strength, fitness and discipline while giving us goals to achieve and something to progress together. Lovely group of people of all sizes and ages.

I've been with Lightning freestyle for 13yrs now. I've learnt so much and grown through the knowledge and teaching of Mark Williams and all the team. A place to learn self defence and also to gain the discipline and confidence that translates to all walks of life.
