My son started shotokan karate from this year Feb. We are very pleased to have such experience and professional instructors like Sensei Sam Aktar,Senpai Jon Keen,Senpai Ejaaz Cadinouche and Senpai Prab Padisetti. They are very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. We can see not only physical development in our son but his concentration towards study also improve. Teaching methods deserve more than 5 starts.

Just tried this school after taking my son to a different karate club in Bushey where he had a very bad experience. This school is very much more safe and professional and their sensei and instructors are brilliant. Don’t waste your time or money at any other school, for us it is worth the longer drive to attend here

The karate is amazing,sensei and senpai's are actually putting effort into our learning,Sensei plans the lesson every single time and senpais assist up until the 45 minute mark.My self discipline has improved since the beginning,sensei tries hard to teach us the skills for desired black belt.

Very supportive and understanding and demanding dojo. My child really wants to learn something I seriously rather than just find it as a activity sport for some time in week. Staff makes sure kids got inspiration to achieve something than to take this lightly. All in all it's very good place get the kids learn some self defense and skills for future.

My daughter and I joined this club in Sep 2021. We really enjoy the classes and sensei patiently works with us to help attain perfection. My daughter's confidence has grown over time and she is passionate to keep learning from sensei and others in her class. Sensei challenges and pushes each one of us in the adults class to also reach our full potential. Lessons are three times a week and we try our best to attend all of them as this is great form of exercise which also helps our mental health after a stressful day whilst also learning a skill to defend oneself. Thank you to sensei and others in the class who are helping us develop and perfect our skills.

Great classes, my eleven year old son has been attending for the last year and he has made some good friends and gets on well with the teachers. Communication from the club is good with regular updates sent via Whatsapp. There have been a couple of changes of venues since we have been there which has sometimes been inconvenient but nothing too burdensome. I would have expected at least two more gradings for my son at the time he's been at the club but I think this has now fallen into place with there being another grading next month. Overall, nice club, nice staff and nice students.

It all started when i was looking for a karate club for my son to teach him self discipline and also as a way of exercise and not just on his gadgets. My son started in June 2021 and i remember watching him the first time and i asked him if he likes it which he did. I was intrigued with my son's interest with the martial art and i have also enrolled. I have no regrets of being in this academy either as my son. We are attending every session as we are learning a lot from Sensei Sham Akhtar and i would say that he is a great instructor not just to my son but also to me personally. He is very approachable and also knowlegeable about the art of karate.

He is the worse and rude trainer. Has no manners to talk to the parents. He was very disrespectful towards me and didnt allow me to raise any concern. Also kids are not safe in his hands. He pushed my kids out of the class infront of everyone. He pushed them and said go away. Very bad and rude attitude.

As a long time student, I can proudly say that this is an amazing place to learn karate and develop even more skills then you came for, you can build a sense of confidence and discipline. People treat each other with respect and treat each other equally. I highly recommend attending this JKA academy. It would benefit you in more ways than you can believe.
