What People Say About Our Classes
What People Say About Our Classes
"Both my boys have been going to 5 elements since they were 5 years old, started in the dragons class and progressed into the juniors. Not only have they learned so much in this combat sport they are much more confident in anything they do.
They hate to miss any class and love the recognition they get through their grading. Coaches are always friendly and Brilliant with the kids. Couldn't recommend them enough"
"My son has been going 5 elements for nearly 6 years from dragons to juniors now with the fight team his confidence has grown massively, made some really good friends and loves the family atmosphere."
"All three of my children have been attending 5 elements for a couple of years now and love learning new skills and earning badges and belts. It's not just about earning belts though, it's about learning discipline, good behaviour, helping others and making new friends all of which my children have gained from attending 5 elements martial arts.
The behaviour forms in little dragons/ life skills for juniors are fantastic ideas to promote excellent behaviour all of the time not just in lessons. My kids have not just learnt kickboxing but have become more confident caring individuals since they joined 5 elements."
