USKA kickboxing

I rarely write 1 star reviews as I prefer to raise issues directly in the hope my views as a paying customer can be taken on board, but here we are. We used to attend regularly but stopped due to an incident involving my son who is autistic. At the end of the kids classes they hand out 'reward' stickers (let's not think about how the kids that rarely 'win' these feel), and on one particular day my six year old son was 'chosen' for this in front of a packed class, which was great because he always used to mention that he never wins. So imagine being six with a different outlook of the world around you when you're abruptly told by Neil that you can't have it because your shorts were not the purchased uniform version, in front of the whole class so he was sure to be made an example of. As an adult I'd be embarrassed, never mind a six year old child with autism. He quietly sobbed to himself all the way home that evening and was never enthusiastic about attending after that, even though he previously looked forward to it. Despite this being some years ago & having thankfully moved on from here, as I pass the place regularly I'm reminded of the experience as a parent. I did bring it to Neil's attention but the response was very much in keeping with that experienced by others who have raised criticisms with him. We used to travel over 25 minutes to get there and with classes for kids being close to rush hour, it being on a very busy stretch of road with little to no local parking, being told you can't come in for being a few minutes late after such a long drive was very disheartening. You do get a sense of trying to join a closed community in that regard as for some it was not an issue. Maybe applicants from those that don't live locally shouldn't be permitted. Neil, you could've earned 5 stars BUT you have the wrong attitude on. So I'm letting everyone that reads this know that you only deserve 1 star because zero rated isn't an option.

I have recently started PT sessions with Mushy. I can honestly say he is an amazing trainer. Very knowledgeable and professional. He really will push you to your limit and get the best out of you. He is very supportive and will help you to achieve your goals! Mushy has made me feel confident and has helped me focus on my fitness journey. Would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to get fit!

My daughter has been at uska since she was four, I have seen a huge development in her progress over the course of 2years, her stamina, discipline and skills have significantly improved. Most importantly she enjoys every lesson and looks forward to it. The instructors have been very supportive.

My daughter has been training here for over a year and her progress has been amazing! My eldest daughter recently joined too!! The coaches and junior coaches are all fantastic and add something special to the team at USKA. Neil is a fantastic coach and works amazingly well with the NINJAS, he ensures discipline and progression but through fun and laughter- a combination that works great for children that age. Whether you just want to improve fitness or go on to potentially fight USKA is a great club to join. You can see and feel everyone there is a team, and every child is welcomed and cared for. My daughter really needed something to teach her discipline and focus and this club was the perfect place for her!! Fingers crossed USKA has a little world champion in the making

Great place for kids to train and have fun! Both of my sons love it and look forward to their ninja class every week. All staff are very friendly and great with the kids. Kids are rewarded with a sticker at the end of the class if they have deserved it which is a great idea to keep kids motivated. Also like the fact the class also has junior coaches and take part in the races! Highly recommend joining your children here !

USKA female division is unmatched - highly professional yet friendly atmosphere. I started classes as an adult which would have been daunting, but I always felt extremely welcome. I have been attending for 2 years now and have managed to progress very quickly in a short amount of time - with 5 belts, 2 competitions (2nd and 3rd place) and even my first fight! Could not recommend more!

USKA is the go to place if you want to train in martial arts! It’s been a year since training here and me and my daughter love it. We attend the female-only classes and it’s great. No age restrictions and everyone is welcome amazing in terms of inclusivity
