Dave and Jayne are absolute legends, I love the people and the training. I spent a longtime searching for somewhere that would be right for me and my wife who are both beginners and Kokoro Academy is perfect.

Jayne, Dave and the team at Kokoro are all fantastic. They really support our son in every way. His confidence has soared! We can’t recommend them highly enough

Great first lesson at Kokoro Martial arts academy, i’ve never done any form of training before and i’m 2 months post hip operation so was a little out of my comfort zone! Instructors and Students were all very helpful, patient, respectful and understanding. Can’t wait to try some more classes soon :)

The staff are polite, helpful and very patient with the needs of my child. Praise is always given, encouraging him and other children to do well. Keeps him motivated and active in all that he is taught.

My kids have trained here for 5 years, the instructors are patient and encouraging. I also train in the adult Budo Taijutsu classes and throughly enjoy them. It’s great to have a common interest with your kids and watch their development.

If you are considering any martial arts I highly recommend here. They are so friendly so no need to be scared (like I was!). Give it a go, you won't regret it!
