  Client testimonials

  “As a survivor and someone who trains in self defence on and off, I really appreciate Jim's approach and manner. I learned a lot in an environment where I felt that violence was truly understood, and where I could learn in a supportive and challenging environment. There is a truth and honesty of approach, no ego but a focus on making the most of your frame, your physicality, no matter what that is.”

  “I have trained at many martial arts schools in different countries, but none have opened my eyes as much as training here. Jim teaches how to move more efficiently, not simply to use muscle - particularly to show how smaller students can move much larger opponents.”

  “My son commenced training with Jim months ago. He's autistic and doesn't enjoy sports or exercise, however he is so motivated and loves working with Jim. Jim has a unique way of working with people. He understands that it can be challenging for many with special needs. However, he has a gift of not pushing, but encouraging and making the sessions fun.”
