ELITE MARTIAL ARTS ACADEMY REVIEWS
I moved to this club for various reasons with my kids and we have never looked back. The training from the instructors is next level and the opportunities for younger kids is fabulous. I’ve made some great friends and the club feels like an extended family. My kids love their training and my daughter has had the opportunity to travel to many different countries with the sparring team. I myself am in the best shape in my life I lost 10kg+ and have also competed in numerous competitions. But if it just core taekwondo that you want to do the kids and adults in all classes are lovely and the level of training is fabulous. Cannot recommend highly enough
Still a newbie but after 7 months still loving it! Started at 52years old and now on my second belt! Highly recommend for fitness, motivation and a good laugh. Training along side my 15year old son, this club is all about family! The club have some of the top performers in Taekwondo, training is professional and to the highest standard. My son came on leaps and bounds when he started, now competing and loving all aspects of this club! Highly recommend anyone considering joining.
My kids have been going for about 4 years, since they were 3 and 5 and are both nearly black belt. Master McDade has a very family oriented academy, and everyone is felt included and listened to. He teaches discipline in a very loving/funny and sarcastic way, and his coaches are all amazing too. Both my kids have never not wanted to go and LOVE going to training. Elite Christmas and Halloween parties are not to be missed.

MCGOWANS BLACK BELT ACADEMY REVIEWS
Excellent family run club. My daughter started just after her 3rd birthday. Covid lockdown restrictions had just been reduced, but after a few short weeks we were in lockdown again. McGowans family and all staff went above and beyond during these challenging times to keep kids involved, zoom classes and when allowed outdoor classes before finally getting back into the dojang, while keeping everyone safe. My daughter looks forward to going every week, and is building her confidence and fitness while having loads of fun.
McGowans is a great team to join, it’s full of fun and you learn so much. It’s always full of high energy and it’s a great place to be. You learn so much including self defence which is something that we all need in life. I couldn’t recommend this place enough!
Fantastic family run business and all the instructors are patient, fun and really care. My grandson has been going for nearly 2 years and can't recommend them highly enough, for helping build his confidence and the gum that he has.

KIRKWOOD'S MARTIAL ARTS ACADEMY(KMAA) REVIEWS
Both my children have trained with Master Kirkwood for 9 years. They love training under him, being taught the traditional tkd values and also learning the self discipline and control required for not only martial arts but in life. In fact, I ended up starting training myself due to how much they enjoyed it. Master Kirkwood is firm but fair and works wonders with all of the kids. The development I see week on week with some of the kids is almost unbelievable. My daughter, under Master Kirkwood's tutelage, has progressed to being a 3rd degree black belt. My son has read-only gained his 1st degree. He works well with children and helps them be the best martial artist they can be.
I’ve never been particularly sporty mostly due to having no confidence to try new things, however, all staff and students are so friendly and Master Kirkwood is so patient and helpful that it has made taking classes a lot of fun, he also makes you determined to do your best. Huge range of classes on and lovely studio. Can’t recommend enough.
I've taken a lot of exercise classes over the years and have never worked harder than (having fun!) at the KMAA Martial Arts & Fitness Centre. I think it's because of the diverse and fantastic team training. Thanks Coach John! I strongly recommend.
