Freestyle Martial Arts

04/10/2026

We aren't just a martial arts class.

We're a place that builds skills, friendships and most importantly belief.

Belief that you can do something, even if it's hard, because you know deep down that you are capeable.

Come and find out for yourself, you may just find something out about yourself that you didn't already know...

Nobody signs their child up to martial arts to improve their listening.

But ask any of our instructors what changes first and you'll get the same answer.

Think about what we're actually asking a child to do. Hear an instruction once. Hold it in their head. Perform it with their whole body, in time, while forty other people do the same thing beside them. Then do it again with one detail changed.

Attention, working memory, impulse control — all of it, disguised as something they'd choose to do one evening a week.

It's the reason teachers often notice before parents do. "Something's clicked this term."

You can't really drill that at a kitchen table. It turns out you can drill it in a hall, in 45 minutes, once a week.

Ages 7 to adult, in our positive community. Your first class costs nothing.

Last night of the month, so I'll keep this short.

Somebody reading this has been meaning to bring their child down since the summer. You've read the posts, you've thought about it on the school run, and something else came up — because something else always does.

Here's the only thing I'd say to you.

Every black belt in my classes was once a parent who nearly didn't send the message. Every single one. Sixteen years and I've never met one who started because the timing was perfect.

The free uniform offer for new starters closes with the month. The free taster doesn't — that's there whenever you're ready, and there's no catch and nothing to sign.

But October's a better month than November, and November's a better month than "after Christmas".

Comment below, or send me a message. I'll do the rest.

Mr Manning
Black belt, parent and bringer of positivity! ❤️

Keep those elbows tucked in 🥊

Lifting your elbows and swinging feels like more power… but it's actually making your punches slower and easier to see coming.

✅ Straight line out to the target
✅ Straight line back to your guard
✅ Push all that energy forwards

Jab, back. Cross, back. Simple, fast, effective.

This is us. 👊

People ask what makes Freestyle Martial Arts different. Here's the honest answer:

Every single one of our instructors came through our family programme.

Not hired in. Not brought over from somewhere else. They started as kids or parents in our Class — nervous, wobbly, unsure — and they grew here. That's not a nice bonus to what we do. It IS what we do.

Over 16 years. 10+ locations. Hundreds of families. And yes, we're busy — but we're busier being the best spouse, the best parents, and the best mentors we can be to everyone around us.

We wouldn't have it any other way. Because we love this.

So if you're looking for more than a martial arts class — if you want a positive, supportive community where your whole family belongs — come and join ours.

And honestly? This is only the start of what's coming. 🔴

Following the fantastic response to our spinning back kick demo a few days ago, we wanted to showcase it from a new perspective! This time, the technical emphasis is on driving that kick through with your momentum and power for maximum effectiveness. 💥👊

With bonus dirty foot 🦶🤣

Black belt isn't the end of the journey.
It's where the fun starts. 🥋

Spinning kicks, sharp combinations, and the confidence that only comes from years of turning up — this is what's waiting on the other side of "I'm not sure I could do that."

Every black belt was once a beginner who nearly didn't walk through the door.
