Al Qawi Self Defence: Opinions

4.6/5 (12 Opinions)
Hasina Begum 1 year ago

Negative experience: Hopefully this review will save someone time. Very few adults in the trial class I went to, mainly kids. To be completely honest I didn't get much from it and wouldn't say its for anyone with advanced martial arts experience. Maybe if the instructor did one on one classes? Though I found her yelling aggressively at students from across the hall unnecessary. Won't be back. It's a shame as I was looking for female only classes. Response edit: I was not aware about you guys being closed but I actually was trying to be fair by leaving some things out for example the instructor being late for the class because these things happen. I would think a trial class is indicative of what an actual class would entail. It was a decent workout and I'm grateful it was free hence the 2 stars. Don't mean to upset anyone just my honest experience.

Hi Hasina. Thank you for your review. Firstly we apologise you felt you didn't get the best experience in your trial session. As you are aware we were closed for 2 weeks in summer and we just reopened, so we were expecting a small turnout. The current female sessions have lots of beginners so hence you may have not found a more experienced partners. This is why we give everyone a FREE trial session, so they can check it out before they commit. We have another session that has only adults , however they are suited for beginners. Knowing it's a free trial session to check out the sessions, does it really warrant a 2 star review? I think it's unfair to leave a 2 star review based on a free trial session that allowed you to check out the session before you commit. Nonetheless, thank you for coming and wish you all the best in finding a suitable place.

Fantastic experience: My son has been going there for quite some time now and he has grown confidence in himself and being consistent has helped him develop his fighting skills. The Sensei is always instilling motivation and perseverance, this certainly helps the student to have another good role model in there life.

Positive experience: Classes were high-spirited and enjoyable, but the proportion of teachers to students was too drastic (only one teacher was insufficient to satisfy the demands of beginners, which majority were) and classes were too short (only one hour and once a week was insufficient for progress)

Thank you for your review. Thank you for also attending our female only sessions. The instructor is highly qualified and has been teaching classes for several years. We have a cap of approximately 1:16. We find that for most people one hour is sufficient and we would love to have more sessions in the week. It's something we may consider in the future. We are glad you enjoy the session. We noticed you have been here for a month, keep it up! But does this really deserve a 3 star, considering you enjoyed the sessions

Fantastic experience: My sons, 9 and 7 attend Al Qawi dojo. They both started at the age of 4 and since developed discipline and confidence in there everyday life. Any parent whose children suffer from self confidence, anxiety etc not to worry! Al Qawi will assist.

Fantastic experience: Amazing club. The teacher has been more than a teacher to me. He is more like a mentor that wanted me and all the students to not only progress in the martial arts and in Class but to be ready for the real life challenges outside the class. I would feel comfortable talking about my issues that I was facing in life and couldn't even discuss some of them with anyone else he would advise me and always kept it confidential. I would also see sense arif as a father figure to me and a amazing teacher. If you want your child to be in a safe environment and to learn self defence properly and to have a real role model where children have none or very few nowadays then this is the place to go.
