Great place to come into every time I go for a session, The coaches are really good and know their stuff they also help me to improve and to learn more on technique's. I learned more better practical things on the those mats than I ever did in University. They got good facilities that are kept clean. Friendly atmosphere, I would recommend anyone to give this place a try. Best decision I ever made was walking into this place for the first time and signing up.

Perfect blend of fun and discipline. My son loves it. It has old values with modern approaches. They have been more than helpful. I also have a lot of martial art experience so I know they know what they are talking about. After trying several other clubs in Teesside(very disappointing) I have found one my son and I like.
