I also wanted to thank you for giving me the opportunity to learn martial arts at a later stage in life (as lots of people first learn when they are much younger!!). 'Your school has always been one where people from all different backgrounds can easily train without fear of any kind of prejudice, which is largely down to you as you won't tolerate that type of rubbish. Although this has been a crap year for me, when I look back for positive experiences, I must say, they have mainly been KB experiences - so once again a BIG THANK YOU!

Anne Davidson, Driving Instructor, 53

I think your classes and philosophy is great! I tried a few schools before finding yours and your school stands miles ahead of the competition...well done for providing such a special training environment!

Harriet Coleman, Student, 19

Absolutely bloody loved the starter class last night. Am really looking forward to the next lesson. I am committed and have already decided that I would like to aim for a belt - I had no idea that I'd be so hooked so quickly. I was so scared but I was really taken care of. I'll never forget the kindness and welcoming environment that put me at ease.

John Hughes, Adminstrator, 42

"I'm loving it. SO glad that I joined up back in April - a big positive point this year! The school is ego and attitude free...in what other environment does that happen? Super friendly, fun and safe."

Sian Baker, Accounts Assistant, 27

Thank you for teaching me, you do a great job and I've thoroughly enjoyed your classes. To be honest I really can't imagine life now without kickboxing, I love everything about the school.

Aaron Jones, Events Management, 26

Thoroughly enjoyed my first class, completely non threatening, even though I was a tad nervous of being un-co, felt at ease with everyone I worked with. This really is a credit to your school as you hear so many horror stories.

Jason Hill, Personal Trainer, 31

I'd just like to say a big thank you to the teaching team that helped me get my blue belt yesterday. It has given me a great sense of achievement, having gone from "Asthma Boy" at school who could hardly make it through any sporting event which required physical endurance to finishing an hour of the most rigorous exercise I have ever done. I only wish my old Games teacher could see me now, I think he would be very surprised!

Sam Williams, Artist, 22

Training is going well, I enjoy it very much. It's a special place to be and I guess you have heard that many times before :-)

Rupert Samson, IT Manager, 22

I must say, KB is the most well-run and member-y sports club/centre I've ever encountered.

Sean Wilcox, School Teacher, 29

And finally I would just like to add to all the great feedback you are getting. Well done for creating such an amazing kick boxing academy which is having such a positive impact on everyone. I love the classes and am grateful for such excellent, professional and enthusiastic instruction. I agree with the 'long email' person in that you have all created more than just a kick boxing school, but a space where people can train together and gain both physical and psychological well being in a community of diverse people who come to share such honourable values. You should be commissioned by the NHS as an exemplar in promoting social inclusion and good health! Full respect to KB
