Nemesis Martial Arts and Fitness

Fantastic experience: This is an outstanding martial arts club! While they primarily focus on Kickboxing, they also offer training in various other martial arts styles. My 13-year-old son absolutely loves it here. He especially enjoys the sparring sessions and participating in different competitions. This club offers a fantastic opportunity to learn lifelong skills. Come join us—it's a skill for life!

Fantastic experience: Exceptional Martial Arts and Fitness Training at Nemesis Martial and Fitness. I am delighted to share my family's experience with Nemesis Martial and Fitness, where my son, wife, and daughter have been attending since last summer. This place has truly been a game-changer for us, providing exceptional martial arts training, fostering personal growth, and surrounding us all with positive role models and friendship. First and foremost, I cannot express enough how impressed I am with the progress my son has made since joining Nemesis. Not only has he won British and World Titles, but for me, more importantly he has also grown in confidence, developed leadership skills, and improved his overall fitness considerably. The dedicated instructors headed up by Sensei Peter Felix and Sensei Matt Church along with the supportive community of parents at Nemesis have played a significant role in pushing him to become a better version of himself every day. The training sessions are challenging yet rewarding, and each and every Black Belt instructor go above and beyond to ensure each student reaches their full potential. My daughter has also found inspiration and motivation at Nemesis. With aspirations to join the fight team one day to emulate her older brother, she is surrounded by numerous positive role models who exemplify discipline, kindness, and sportsmanship. The inclusive and encouraging environment has instilled in her a sense of belonging, ambition and a drive to excel in martial arts that I know will set her up for life. The instructors and fellow students have become like an extended family (I see them more than my own family :-), providing guidance and support as she pursues her own goals. Thank you, Nemesis Martial and Fitness, for creating an environment where our family can thrive and continuously strive for excellence.

Fantastic experience: Amazing experience in fitness, discipline and team sprit

Fantastic experience: Peter and his team go above and beyond not only to teach high quality martial arts but also actively encourage the children who attend their classes to be kind, respectful and to lookout for those around them in and outside of the class. The focus of Nemesis is very much that you are part of a family and the atmosphere is so positive and nurturing.

Fantastic experience: My 9 and 12 year old train with Nemesis and their fitness levels and confidence have increased at an amazing pace. They both love attending the classes that require a strong work ethic and work hard to become strong members of the team. My children are developing a strong winning mentality with my son in particular aspiring to compete and become a winner. This is all due to the efforts of the Nemesis staff who work tirelessly to develop the skills of the parents and the children.

Fantastic experience: My daughter and son both enjoyed learning different skills during the lessons, it worth to spend a regular period of time exercising and exploring body balances.

Fantastic experience: My family and I have been training with Nemesis Martial Arts and Fitness for over 15 years now and I can’t speak highly enough of the club. The knowledge and professionalism of the instructors is second to none, they dedicate their own time to teach children and adults of all ages to help them in their martial arts journey.

Fantastic experience: Great club with amazing people, would highly recommend

Negative experience: Not child friendly at all. New starters are expected to do perfect on the first session. There are no levels. Trainer kept mentioning the good one who had started years ago over and over and compared them with the new starters (first session) in a very unprofessional way. My son’s interest in martial arts is ruined right at the beginning thanks to him. Classes also too busy and not well organised.

Fantastic experience: Appreciation post. Harrison has attended 5 sessions now and I have to say as mum it makes me so happy and thankful to see such wonderful people helping Harrison out. He came into the sessions with zero confidence and hate towards himself for not being "good at anything" (his words) and for the way he looks. From struggling to do sit ups and seeing other students help him and encourage him aswell as his mentors really warms my heart. Thank you so much. You don't understand how much it means to see my little boy enjoying something and figuring out how to love himself and gain confidence.

Fantastic experience: My sons and I joined Nemesis together about 2 years ago after looking at several martial arts clubs. We were pointed in the direction of Nemesis by a friend, who told us it was the real deal. They were right. Peter Felix (Sensei) and his team of black belt instructors will help you to explore your limits and go beyond them. My boys (10 and 13) love the classes, which manage to combine camaraderie with a high degree of competition. I'm nearly 53 and hadn't done martial arts since I was 11 years old. Thanks to Nemesis, I can honestly say I'm now the fittest I've been in thirty years. If you want to get fit, build self confidence or just spend time doing something worthwhile with your kids (boys or girls!) then I would strongly encourage you give Nemesis a try. What have you got to lose (except perhaps a few kg)? Classes are at the Riverhead Leisure Centre on Mondays, Loddon Valley Leisure Centre on Wednesdays and Shinfield Primary School on Saturday mornings. You can attend some of all of these (we do all of them).

Fantastic experience: I have recently joined and I really enjoy the classes. Sensei Pete challenges me and makes the sessions fun. Never a dull moment. The classes Pete offers are a brilliant workout and I would recommend it to all. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Nemesis set the benchmark for my fitness level. Fantastic club

Fantastic experience: My 6 year old son has attended Nemesis karate for the past year and it has been amazing for his confidence, fitness and discipline. The classes are engaging, hard work and for a young boy lots of fun. His learning will stand him in good stead for the rest of his life. Great work Péter Felix

Fantastic experience: The best family you could join , been to loads of competitions with Nemesis and represented them at Internetional events. Winning 5 World Titles , 3 European and , 3 British . Currently help coach and can’t see a group of brighter and more enthusiastic individuals

Fantastic experience: My children have been attending Nemesis for over 13 years now. They have learned so many skills, confidence, resilience and much more. They have grown into well rounded adults now, helping pass on there knowledge to the next students. Within this time at Nemesis my son has become a world champion, European and British champion. Nemesis has been the best place we could of sent them to learn, fitness, self defence. Nemesis is not just a martial arts club but a community with family values. Thanks Nemesis team you are great

Fantastic experience: Great Club to train at, more of a family now we have been going for a while!

Fantastic experience: I am a martial artist, practicing for over 25 years, and I have been to many great clubs but this is my most favourite of all. You get a tough workout for those who want it, but also is family friendly. If you want to train hard, you will and there are many opportunities for interclubs or serious competitions. Not only all this but most of all it feels like a family to me, they support you when you need it in or out the club.

Fantastic experience: I trained with Nemesis for 12 years with both my daughters who started from primary school age. It's been a fantastic foundation for our fitness, confidence, coordination and strength. My daughters both achieved their second Dan Black belts, an achievement they cherish and that has no doubt motivated them in their pursuit of a fit and healthy lifestyle.

Fantastic experience: Brilliant club. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Excellent club, great atmosphere to develop vital life saving skills for you and your family.

Fantastic experience: I've trained with Peter Felix on and off for over twenty years, I introduced my children when they came along and they are stronger more confident adults now for the time they spent in Nemesis classes. I'd highly recommend Nemesis to anyone looking for top end fitness and to take part in old school competitive martial arts. You won't find anyone more dedicated to a club or the Sport in the Reading area!

Fantastic experience: My son has been attending Nemisis for almost 10 years. Pete has trained him very well and I am really proud of what my son has become. Not only physically strong but also a better person.very disciplined. The 6 to 8 hours of grading exams shows Pete's commitment to better martial artists and not a belt factory. The number of hours of training and personal attention available at Nemesis is worth every penny spent. Will always recommend Nemesis to anyone who wants overall growth.

Fantastic experience: Sensei Peter Felix is an excellent instructor. I originally took my children along to learn and I eventually attended myself. I have been attending for nearly 10 years. This is a well run club with meticulous attention to ensuring attendees learn properly and proceed through their learning journey. A belt from this club is well earned and widely respected.

Fantastic experience: I have trained with this club for over 10 years and enjoyed every minute of it. It is a welcoming environment for both beginners and advanced practitioners. A friendly place to better yourself among like minded people. Whether your goal is to improve your fitness, learn self defense or start on the path of martial arts competition this is a great place to do it all.

Fantastic experience: Great club under Sensei Peter Felix. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic martial arts classes. Trainers and pupils are a great bunch and I couldn’t imagine a class without them. Years of experience and constantly kept fresh & exciting. Thank you to Peter and team!

Fantastic experience: I have been with Peter Felix and the Club Nemesis Martial Arts & Fitness for nearly a decade now. As someone who has been to and seen many other clubs to supplement my main training at Nemesis, I feel I can state without too much bias that this club and its instructor are the real deal. Pete has been and done it all and leads a club that has a large history of producing champions from a regional level all the way up to multiple time world champions. Personally me and my brother are now competing again post covid and are representing the club at competitions, a feat I would not have the confidence to do without the years of support I have had from Pete and the nemesis club members. If competitions do not interest you though that is no issue, for one of the main benefits of this club is its focus on health at fitness. An old school hard working ethic is followed and is brilliant to learn from particularly for the large amount of kids within the club. As it stands you can try the club out for a full 30 days, so there really is nothing to lose and everything to gain!

Fantastic experience: I have been going for a few years and I have recently started representing the club in competitions. It’s a friendly environment that welcomes all levels of abilities. It’s a kickboxing club which not only will improve your combat ability but also will take your fitness to the next level. This all being taught by a Sensei with multiple decades of experience.
