⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I have been attending Chokdee for 3 years now. Started by just wanting to try something new and as a woman having never attended a martial arts gym before, the prospect was quite daunting! However Rich and Jo were so welcoming and I immediately felt at ease and comfortable. The gym is like my second home and my fight team, like a second family! I didn't know I needed this place but now I wouldn’t be without it! The training is top level! I have achieved more than I thought possible and the journey continues! Proud to fight out of Chokdee Gym!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Brilliantly ran, welcoming martial arts gym in York. My own children attended as children & have maintained doing so in adulthood. More so, as a foster carer supporting teenagers. I have seen how Rich has the ability to motivate, build trust & resilience and positivity engage with the most disengaged young people. Hence I highly recommend!

Amazing gym and coaching where everyone is welcome and supported! Rich is an amazing coach who really invests in his students and ensures they make progress. I do 1-2-1 sessions and look forward to them each week, they help me keep fit and learn a new skill 🙏
