MARTIAL ARTS, FITNESS &JUNIOR LEADERSHIP ACADEMY - Morecambe

My daughter has been attending the classes for the past 2-3 years and has progressed nicely. I love the fact that they encourage everyone to take part in competitions regardless to the belt colour or abilities. And I love flexibility so if you can't make it to your lesson you can go on an alternative days but because of that sometimes there are quite a few students turning up in one day which makes teaching/practising a bit difficult. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a teacher that encourages and is patient with your child.

Our eldest son attended this school for over 3 years. Initially he was very shy and lacked self confidence. After a matter of weeks of martial arts training with John Ward, there was a very noticeable change. He became very keen to learn more and his confidence grew immensely.
The class is informative and students are encouraged to do well. The gradings happen for different belts only when John Ward thinks you’ll do well. He is 100% behind his students and he also does demonstration days, open to the parents of students, and public. I encourage everyone to take a look. You will receive a very warm welcome. You may even meet the grandmaster as our son did. Pop along and take a look. Can’t recommend enough.
Our son would be definitely still attending if he hadn’t gone to university

I take my 2 boys (6 and 8 years old) here every week. their progression is really good. They have goals and most important they can achieve the goals with John and Angela. They have made good friends within the school which pushes them to all grow in the martial art together. There is no pressure to compete they just have a great time. There are yearly tournaments that basically are a measure of how well they are getting on along with other clubs from the North West. These are a great day for them and a very friendly competition win or lose they treated like winners.

a really great and friendly atmosphere along with other parents. I highly recommend this martial arts school. John and his team are so good with the kids and definately have the patience of saints!

My eldest started training at the start of the year then a couple of months later at the young age of 42 I started (I thought I must be mad in all honesty).
But I've not regretted it in the slightest, they're are extremely welcoming and incredibly patient (they've had to be with me ha ha).
No egos no one knocking you down, everyone from the white belts through to junior and senior black belts are there to help, laugh and encourage you, ok and take the mickey at times too.
Can not recommend John and Angela enough, the respect they have from all students is enormous and a credit to how hard they work and how much support they give.
If you're thinking of getting into martial arts give them a call, you'll not regret it.

Brilliant teaching for both of my children who attend and thoroughly enjoy the lessons. John & Angela nurture each student to encourage and learn in a fun but disciplined way. I have found that my children have gained confidence and focus since attending. Would recommend to anyone thinking of introducing their children to a martial art.

My son started at age 9 and he's 12 now. He has thoroughly enjoyed his time there and is progressing well. The team are very dedicated to their students and put in 100%effort and determination. His focus, confidence, assertiveness and ambition has greatly improved over the past 3 years. Keep up the good work!

I am a former student and would like to post a review to reflect what a wonderful experience my 5 year training was.
When you join you become part of a family, it is within this family that you are challenged and pushed further than you thought you could ever go.
The area is so lucky to have a Master with such depth of knowledge and experience, a real privilege to train under.
If you want to get fit, keep your brain active and make friends while you learn under EXPERT supervision....you have found the right school!

Having just read the review of ‘unknown user’ who only rated this school as one star, and having read the owners response, I feel it is only right that I should support the owner as having run my own martial arts school a few years back, met the owner and when I had to close my school (my mother was ill), after visiting a few other martial art groups decided that this was the school I would like to donate all of our equipment to (mats, weapons etc.). I find it hard to believe that a person would spend five years practising a martial art at a school they were not happy with. Is there an ulterior motive here from a competitor?
Although my children are now adults and have left the nest I would be more than happy to have let them train here. And the words of the owner are the truth – the AVERAGE PERSON will never get a black belt. It took me twelve years, training three times a week to get there!
