The classes listed are trial lessons hosted independently by Chuldow Family Martial Arts.
"My son started Karate in March 2014 and watching him inspired me to to take up one of the 2 lesson free trials. I was hooked and never looked back. My son is now a 1st Dan Black belt at Karate and I am a 1st Dan at Karate and a 2nd Dan at Kickboxing. Chuldow Rothwell is a great family run club with a great wider family feel. I would fully recommend it to anyone young or old. Oh and along the way you will be much fitter for it."

"My son started at Chuldow age 5 last year and he absolutely loves it. There are so many positives to him attending, for listening, fitness, resilience. the teachers are so kind, attentive but firm and I think the approach and way they talk to the children and the way skills are taught is fantastic. I would highly recommend to anyone"

"Absolutely love this place, it's a friendly welcoming place unlike some places we have tried which were quite clicky, the instructors are great with the kids giving them lots of praise and encouragement, my daughter enjoys coming and will hopefully want to still keep coming for many more years."
Emma Thornton
"My 5 year old has been coming for about 4 months now, and is absolutely loving it. We chose to come to Chuldow Rothwell based on several good recommendations from other friends. The teachers are so friendly, encouraging, and absolutely spot on with the kids. The atmosphere of the classes feels very inclusive and the combination of fun, fitness, skills and a warm welcome is just perfect. Big thumbs up from us!"
Alison Sheppard
"Absolutely brilliant Academy. My 2 children joined first (aged 9 and 11). Both are now Black Belts. I joined having taken them and seen first hand the excellent coaching and how much they enjoyed it. Great for fitness, making new friends and developing skills and confidence. A truly inspiring place."
Chris Brady
"My daughter joined simply because her friend was attending and we think it's important for her to experience a variety of activities. The first two sessions were free as a taster. She loves going and we enjoy watching. I'm very impressed how the instructors interact with the children. There is a lot going on, and as much as there is fun to be had there is also discipline which is also a valuable lesson. It's a really friendly atmosphere and the children all leave with smiles having had a good workout. It's been a year and a half since Charlotte joined and I'm pleased to say that she still loves her classes and I've caught her practising at home when she thinks no-one is looking. I think all the instructors are fantastic and they really do take the time to make sure the children know what they are doing and put them at ease in the process. I highly recommend Chuldow and with the first two lessons free with no obligation then why wouldn't you give your kids the opportunity."
Kev Smith
"My son started learning karate just under a year ago. He loves the classes! He has not only learned many skills but his confidence has improved greatly.
The classes are very well tailored for the appropriate age group to keep kids motivated, learn some great skills for life and also to have fun.
The virtual classes have been just as great. The content, structure and one to one feedback have meant my son has been able to carry on learning and progressing even when not being in a face to face session.
He is just as excited to go to his weekly classes now as he was when he first started and that's down to the dedication of the teaching team.
Thank you Mr Abad and Mrs DA!"
