Owen, has been attending the WA now for only a short time and he is already changing his ways. Little things. Making his bed tidying up his toys and clothes. He is always quoting little things from class. For a 5 year old, I am over the moon how confident he has become and also how much he loves putting on his uniform ready for class. He loves it so much that he’s having the team turn up for his birthday party! I could not praise the team more for what they do for the kids.

Without doubt The Warrior Academy should win the Bath Life Awards. They are a small team of young people who work extremely hard to ensure all their students achieve and become the best they can be in all areas of their life. We moved from Bristol to Wiltshire 2 years ago and for our 11 year old son, finding The Warrior Academy was a very important part of his settling into his new home. From the beginning, he was made welcome and felt an integral part of the group by students and teachers alike.

Whilst my two children have only been coming to The Warrior Academy for the last 2 months they absolutely love it and can’t wait to get to you on a Friday evening. You’re welcoming and approachable manner leaves my children feeling safe and happy to be with you, while your underlying ethos is commendable. Not only are you giving the children the opportunity to learn a range of martial arts, you are increasing their fitness, stamina and coordination. I have observed you supporting them to develop important social skills such as turn taking, listening and communicating with others of different ages and all of this is done alongside the principles of increasing confidence, self control and respect. Keep up the enthusiasm for educating children in the way you do – it’s refreshing and a pleasure to observe.

Hi Sebastian, I just wanted to say how much your Young Warriors Club at Rode School has done for my son, Thomas. He lost a lot of confidence after being bullied and stopped enjoying school. Since attending your classes he has visibly grown in confidence and is happier about going to school. He loves the sessions and is very committed to progressing through his gradings. We can’t thank you enough for helping him to regain his confidence and find something that he really loves doing.

My son has just turned 5 years old and I think the confidence he is gaining going to warriors is brilliant. He’s learning independence which hopefully he will carry Through life. He’s also learning self-control and to focus and that if you work towards something you can achieve it. I think these are all fantastic things every child should learn and the warriors give my son a chance to progress in these life skills and have fun.
