I’ve watched my two children grow in confidence, learn how to respect, and show an understanding of discipline. Seeing the changes in them inspired me and my husband to join and I’m so glad we did.

My son has been training in martial arts with Niko for 8 years since the age of 4. I can honestly say that the biggest impact on him has been the positivity and confidence that Niko places at the heart of all his teaching. This is not simply self defence, it is self improvement.

Niko has a real gift for engaging with children to bring out the best in them. My two love it so much they go 3 times a week.

Words can't describe how amazing Niko's Martial Arts Academy is... I started by signing up to the ladies only course that lasted 6 weeks back in January and into February and since then have become a full member... I have met some lovely people who have become friends and the classes have been amazing for my own mental health and fitness. Niko and the other instructors are incredible.
