The classes listed are trial lessons hosted independently by Phoenix Martial Arts.
"I originally came to Chuldow for my son Logan. We booked him in for a two lesson free trial and we haven't looked back since. He has been attending every week for over a year now and he enjoys it just as much as the first lesson."
Gareth Durham
"I have always loved martial arts however due to various reasons I was no longer training and my friend Kerry mentioned how she had started the ladies kickboxing classes and asked if I wanted to book for a free taster to see if id enjoy it and it was honestly the best decison I ever made, Everyone was welcoming, friendly and helpful ☺️
Not only has my fitness and strength improved but also my confidence and positive mindset 💪🧠 plus I have made a great group of friends and I'm now doing something I love 💕
My only regret is not finding Phoenix sooner 😁"
Emma Burrows
"What a way to boost your child confidence !! could not recommend highly enough.
The whole family trains across Karate and Kickboxing in a welcoming, supportive and motivational setting.
Come and have a go, you won't regret it 😁"
Dave Berry
"Phoenix Martial Arts is the place to be if you want to learn self defence and to improve your emotional, physical and mental well being. I have loved every second I have spent at this academy, my confidence has grown loads thanks to Phoenix and if its something you/your child have been thinking about doing, stop thinking and book a free taster !!!!!"
Demi
"My eldest absolutely loves it here, The Lafferty's are great with the kids - They give them support, guidance and kind discipline they need to succeed not only in kickboxing but in life, He'd go everyday if he could, I can't wait to see his little brother start in a few years."
Mark
"My wife and daughters all train at Phoenix. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. There's a variety of training plus seminars and activities. Progress is at your own pace and you make great friendships along the way 😃"
Colin
"A great family run martial arts academy. I have been training for over 5 years. I originally started as a way to help my mental health, I am now fitter and healthier (physically and mentally) than before and I'm so proud to be a black belt at Phoenix."
Katie M
"Our son had attended PMA for over a year and he loves it, We have seen a massive difference in his behaviour and confidence since joining PMA ☺️
I have recently joined Adult Kickboxing and Karate and I'm loving it, I have struggled in the past finding a form of exercise I enjoy doing but each lesson is different plus you always learn something new whilst having lots of giggles along the way
All the instructors are friendly, welcoming and inspiring, we appreciate all of your hard work and dedication
Thank you 💕"
Chelsea Goodman
"We brought Holly to Phoenix, in March 2023. She has always struggled with her confidence and has never stuck to a hobby before, over the last few months her confidence has sorn, Mr and Mrs Lafferty have been so welcoming and helpful and Holly can't wait to attend each session"
Sean
"I joined as a 59 year old inexperienced lady, I wanted to get in shape and improve my fitness without wearing a leotard or doing the same exercise routines.
I honestly can't believe how welcoming it was. Very profesional with the ethos of respect and doing whats right for the individual. Plus your fitness is enhanced, massively by boosting your confidence with a great sense of belonging, a bit of humour and developing skills.
Its really worth giving it a try, because you will be amazed at how much you love it"
