Fantastic experience: Great place to train, with an awesome community and coach.

Fantastic experience: Incredible place to train some of the nicest people and great training atmosphere learning new techniques every time i go

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with James at Masters Academy for over a year now and I couldn’t recommend a better coach. I’ve mainly been training in CSW, but I’ve recently started kickboxing as well, and we always have an enjoyable session. 10/10

Fantastic experience: Great teachers and the structure of the lessons are nicely set up. Very welcoming for new beginners.

Fantastic experience: Masters Academy is a great place to learn martial arts. I started kickboxing here and then decided to try BJJ - both sets of classes are incredible in both helping you improve and having fun. If you have doubts - I had never thrown a punch in my life, nor did I know anything about grappling but joining was the best thing I ever did!

Fantastic experience: It’s an amazing place to come and learn mma and kickboxing have been here for a couple of weeks and it’s the best thing I have done and James the trainer is very good at explaining and demonstrating moves I would highly recommend joining

Fantastic experience: Great training, lots if classes, awesome team. Would recommend if no matter the level.

Fantastic experience: been training for 3-4 years now and plan to stay, great place to train and work on fitness, technique and discipline. Heavily recommend

Fantastic experience: Brilliant training! Amazing team! Highly recommended. Kids classes are great for developing fitness and discipline. Fiona really gets the most out of every kid. Totally amazing!

Fantastic experience: James and everyone at masters have been so friendly and supportive everytine I visit there. They are highly knowledgeable and very welcoming, willing to help everyone no matter what their goals are. If I lived closer I would be here all the time! There's not better place to learn martial arts in the Loughton area. I can't recommend masters academy enough!

Fantastic experience: Hi it's 'Viv' here. Great place to train, respect and humility is present amongst all that train which is important especially in this current society. Wide variety of classes so there is something for everyone. Coach (James) is fantastic great teachings, techniques and you get to train with him personally which is invaluable for a students growth! Zilha makes the sign up process smooth, so shout out to her too! Already looking forward to the next session! Oss! Over and out!

Fantastic experience: I was so nervous about going to martial arts club as it was SO far out of my comfort zone and I’d never done anything like it before!! James and the coaches are so welcoming and make it beginner friendly also. I would highly recommend giving it a go if you’re on the fence xx

Fantastic experience: brilliant coaches and friendly atmosphere

Fantastic experience: Great and friendly atmosphere with professional trainers, which makes you feel welcome and eager to learn more after each class.

Fantastic experience: Great place to train!! Coaches are really friendly and have a serious amount of knowledge, people training with you are good as gold and you definitely get pushed you to your limits!

Fantastic experience: A very welcoming gym full of great students and and knowledgable coaches I recommend this gym to anyone who likes martial arts or just keeping fit

Fantastic experience: Great club - BJJ was taught v.well for beginners and plenty of senior folk to challenge. No Gi also very well taught, both sessions tough but great sense of achievement and good vibes.

Fantastic experience: Very welcoming gym with top level coaches and a range of abilities. I joined as a beginner earlier this year, attending MMA and kickboxing classes - having no previous martial arts experience. The coaches have years of experience and have developed my skills and knowledge on the sport more than I could have hoped so far. The range of skill levels at each class is also key at Masters Academy for personal development, providing people with a range of different abilities to train with. I would recommend anyone to come to Masters Academy if they're considering starting martial arts, or if they're an experienced martial artist.

Fantastic experience: I can't express how welcoming and respectful Masters Academy is. James and the team have created an amazing place to learn and train for people of all ages and abilities. There are people new to martial arts and people who are competing for championships and my personal experience has been nothing be positive. I came to train here in June 2023 with a small amount of kickboxing experience and no BJJ experience, after a few months my striking has massively improved and my understanding of body position on the ground is beyond my expectations for such a small amount of time. The teams ability to cater for all abilities is outstanding, and the way they focus in on individuals who want extra help is amazing. I'd recommend Master Academy to anyone who wants to advance in their martial arts or start their journey. Thank you to all the coaches.

Fantastic experience: Friendly atmosphere, top level BJJ and grappling classes. Recommend!

Fantastic experience: Top coaches, great academy, I won't change it for another one!

Fantastic experience: My daughter loves training here. The couch and other students made here feel comfortable from day one and now she is looking forward to every Saturday class.

Fantastic experience: Very good place to train! Quality martial arts coaching provided. Thoroughly recommended

Fantastic experience: I bought my son here based on recommendation. He lacked confidence and struggles socially. The difference has been amazing. He's so happy and looks forward to his sessions. He's recently very proudly got his yellow belt. The coaches are amazing and are very passionate about what they teach.

Fantastic experience: I had my first beginner kickboxing session at the academy yesterday and felt very welcomed straight away. The head coach, James, is a great instructor and I already felt improvement after just one session. Will definitely be back again.

Fantastic experience: I have been training with the academy for a month and their coaches are amazingly talented, they make all lessons easy to grasp and techniques to learn. Their students are all good which makes it competitive and pushes you to get better and better. I would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Great place to train. Coaches are friendly and have a great way of teaching. Friendly atmosphere in the classes and they also have a great amount of knowledge from a martial arts perspective.

Fantastic experience: Excellent kickboxing academy. Suitable for all the family. The adults classes cater for all abilities. From Absolute Beginners to 5th Dan members. I must give them the highest praise to take me from being totally uncoordinated to earning my 4th Dan. Would encourage everyone to give it a go. You couldn’t be in better hands.

Fantastic experience: Exceptional Martial arts school for any walk of life. They have class for anyone, young or old, who want to improve their knowledge, skills, mind set and health, through martial arts, coached by the best coaches they can offer! Coaches are experienced, attentive and very supportive of all their students!! They develop your skillset weather you be new or experienced of sorts and have help developed successful fighters to highest standards. They are a wonderful gym family to be part of and deliver quality for money. They have plenty types of martial arts to offer so something for everyone. They help you set your goals and reach them with ease via their grading system. Can not recommend enough x x

Fantastic experience: I train here and in my opinion it is the best local martial arts place around. All the instructors have that balance of friendly, motivating you when they know you can do more and need a little prodding, knowing when you are actually pushing yourself too hard and need to back down a bit and help you focus and channel your energy in the right way, and the classes are full of people who become friends. The fitness you get drilled on is excellent, you come out sweating, feeling good, learn fantastic self defense skills, all in all, love it.

Fantastic experience: Great place to train very knowledgeable coaches. Very welcoming and friendly place always push you to be the best version you can be. Helped me turn my life around very special place for me. Highly recommended!!!

Fantastic experience: Been training at masters for a few years now and have loved it great coaching and great people there and a great place to learn

Fantastic experience: Extremely relaxing and friendly environment, doesn’t make you feel like you’re part of an organisation or some lame hierarchy like some more traditional places. Here you can train MMA, BJJ, Kickboxing, Wrestling, or all of them! Really good sessions that leave you exhausted and feeling more confident and stronger every time. Schedule is perfect for people like me who like doing their exercise later in the evening. The coaches are brilliant and top-class, very welcoming and know what they’re doing. I’ve never been to the kids’ classes but those obviously exist as well for people who have kids and want them to not get bullied at school. Hey I’m not saying violence is the answer but knowing some Jiu-Jitsu never hurt anyone.. unless?

Fantastic experience: Masters Academy is the go to place in Essex and the surrounding area to learn all aspects of the Martial Arts. James is the consummate professional and his teaching methods are first class. Masters Academy is ideal for everyone, from the excellent children’s syllabus to the professional fighter programme, Masters Academy has what you’re looking for.

Fantastic experience: New to martial arts & fitness, teaching is on point, very friendly & everyone is welcoming. James has incredible patience whilst teaching, give it a try, you won't regret it!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic. I started doing 1-1 MMA training sessions with Martyn and they've been nothing short of - brutally - awesome. I'm pushed to my absolute limits, it is worth every second and every penny. He may leave me feeling broken but always wanting to come back for more.

Fantastic experience: Masters Academy is absolutely brilliant! The coaches are so friendly and knowledgeable! I believe this is the best place to train and learn as there is not a more friendly, fun and comfortable place to be! If you are looking for a place to train Martial Arts this is the place, hands down every time! Wouldn’t even question it.

Fantastic experience: Masters Academy is a warm and welcoming environment for all levels of experience and fitness levels, the coaches are approachable, knowledgeable and encouraging, and there’s a strong sense of unity and family. Personally, I feel motivated by knowing I am sharing the dojo with some top talent and solid fighters within the ranks; and also by taking advantage of the one to one sessions Masters Academy have to offer. I train with James and Martyn and can hand on heart say they are some of the best coaches I have ever worked with! Really enjoying the combination of kickboxing, MMA and BJJ - would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: The welcoming and friendly atmosphere really makes Masters Academy such a great place to train. The coaches are knowledgeable, thorough, patient and really make you feel at ease, no matter what your level of fitness or experience in martial arts. This makes going to class a real pleasure. If you’re thinking about joining, come down and experience it for yourself, you won’t regret it!

Fantastic experience: I have trained at Masters Academy for a number of years, have always felt welcome and have really enjoyed the variety of classes that they offer. The coaches are extremely knowledgeable and are able to explain and demonstrate routines and drills well. Above all else, its a friendly and welcoming environment for all levels from beginners to advanced.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend this Martial arts club, there is a class suitable for all. My children love training here and I particularly love going to the all ladies classes. It has become a real social and family affair. The coaches are all highly qualified and teach you the kickboxing syllabus effectively, allowing you to work your way up the belt system. This enables you to feel a great sense of achievement.

Fantastic experience: Fabulous place to train. Very friendly. Great World class coaches. Full of wonderful people. In truth one of the best places on the planet to make your Martial arts home. Kickboxing, MMA, Combat submission wrestling, JKD, 4Dcombat etc. Can't recommend it highly enough.

Fantastic experience: Amazing place to come have some good clean martial arts fun. Family friendly, for all levels from beginners to fighters.

Fantastic experience: They say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks. Two years ago, I thought otherwise and decided to get out of my comfort zone and push myself and to say I’m glad I did is an understatement. From a person that’s never practiced martial arts before I was obviously nervous but from my first free introduction class the coaches and members were so welcoming and friendly and nothing like I feared. The timetable and classes cover all levels from first timers to advanced students, 6 days a week. I had no excuses. Two years later and three classes a week I can honestly say James and his team have changed my life for the better. I’m fitter, more confident and addicted to learning new skills from the amazing coaches. The fact that it’s in a relaxed, fun environment is a bonus. What were they saying about old dogs?

Fantastic experience: This Academy is simply amazing! I have been a long time student here due to the results I have seen from attending classes. The instructors have deep knowledge in their areas and lot of experience in their fields. This ensures the lessons are of exceptional quality. The Academy is a friendly one thanks to great students and instructors, and is perfect for a range of people including kids, families and adults wanting to get serious about their training. I highly recommend Masters Academy to anyone.

The place adopts a very enthusiastic, friendly, and family focused approach suitable for all levels. Whether you are training for fun, fitness, self defence or competitions...it is definitely a must, with some of the best coaches around sharing their skills and in depth knowledge! The coaches and members also happen to be very warm, welcoming and great people. Come down and give it a go...you'll be glad you did!!!

Fantastic experience: Friendly supportive training for all levela

Fantastic experience: Lovely place-great instructors!

Fantastic experience: This club was recommended to me for my son, who has done ju-jitsu for a couple years (secondary school age) and wanted to step up. The training is superb. The coaches are enthusiastic and disciplined and get most out of sessions. My son leaves knackered and cant wait to return, His fitness and skills are constantly improving. This is a very friendly and welcoming club, so if you have not been to a club before this is great place to join.I would it recommend to anyone. Give it a try like me, and you will stay. See you soon.
