Somerset Kickboxing Academy: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Marks a great instructors and he explains every technique and combination in great detail
Thank you so very much for this review. It means alot
Fantastic experience: Mark and the other instructors are very welcoming and always find time for everyone. I have been going two years now and found my technique especially in regards to kicking height has improved massively. I do two classes a week and enjoy one with my 7ry old daughter. Mark pitches it right for all ages and you get out what you put in. I recommend the SKA family to everyone any size and any age. It's amazing for your mental health and self confidence give it a try.

It means alot
Fantastic experience: I have only been with the club for a few months but Mark and his team have already helped me improve my confidence personally as well as in martial arts. I look forward to coming to every session (something I have struggled with in the past with other martial arts classes) You truly feel like part of a family and everyone always ends up having a laugh with every session!
Fantastic experience: I joined this club just over 2 years ago and I can confidently say that all of the instructors though teaching in different ways are all amazing and help you achieve your goals. it has helped me not only in strength but to build confidence and make new friends and meet so many new people.
Thank you chloe for the kind words :) .

Fantastic experience: SKA is a wonderful, family-friendly club. Mark is an excellent professional instructor who is supportive and patient with all his students. My daughter has been going to the Walton class for over 18 months and absolutely loved it. He pushes her just enough to bring the best out in her. It's made her more confident and she really enjoys the classes. Highly recommended.
Thank you so very much and it is a absolute pleasure teaching her :) .

Mark
Fantastic experience: Fantastic club. I was worried about joining due to my size and lack of fitness. I shouldn't have been. It is a friendly, non judgemental atmosphere where all sizes, levels of fitness and abilities are welcomed and supported. I attend Leon's class in Street. I really enjoy it, and am learning a lot. Leon is a great instructor who can adjust his teaching to support anyone who comes through the door.
Thank you for the lively comment and I will let leon know as he would love seeing this :) .
Mark
Fantastic experience: Amazing club my grandson has come so far and it's all thanks to Mark and his team would highly recommend thanks once again x
Thank you so much for a lovely comment
Fantastic experience: Fantastic club! Wasn't sure if i would enjoy kickboxing at first, thought I'd give it a go to try and loss some weight. I attend Leon's sessions in Street and Bridgwater both are brilliant fun and a great atmosphere. All sessions are open to all abilities which is brilliant and everyone at SKA has so much time for beginners of all shapes and sizes. They allways make you fit in and fill welcome. I have now been training for just over a year and it's save to say I love it!
Thank you so much fpr the lovely comments Ollie. :)
Fantastic experience: After spending a large part of my younger years practicing taekwondo and dabbling in other martial arts, it was a pleasant surprise when our eldest son came home one day and announced that he wanted to start kickboxing - and so we went along to SKA. In short - I cannot rate SKA highly enough. The technical standards of students and instructors are incredibly high, and more importantly Mark and Paul have created a family environment for learning martial arts that is second to none. SKA is genuinely one of the best martial art clubs I have seen, and with a wealth of talent. We are now regulars and it's hard to imagine what we would do instead.
Wow thank you for amazing words :) .
You have no idea how much ot means to me hearing that

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Mark and SKA for 8 years now, it's a great place to train with a friendly family atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic club. I train at the Weston super Mare Club under Paul and from day one he has always made it a welcoming environment to train in and is a very Knowledgeable kickboxing instructor. If your looking to join a martial arts gym with a friendly environment and no egos, with instructors that are always willing to go above and beyond to help you improve then I’d highly recommend SKA!
