Instructors with years of Taekwondo experience who are there to help you and your family on the quest to better yourself as a person both physically and mentally. Highly recommended.

This is a wonderful martial arts centre and I highly recommend it! My son commenced training with Colin, Sam & the wider team back in 2016 when he was 6 years old. He is now 8.5 years, absolutely LOVES going to training sessions and is super passionate about becoming a black belt in the years to come! His instructors are fabulous and instil some many positive values into their students. Our son has always had a shy and quite passive demeanour and it warms our hearts to see how much his confidence & self-esteem have increased during the last 2 years. For this alone, we cannot thank the staff at JMA enough!

Both our girls (5) my partner and myself have been training with JMA for some 8 mths now. We couldn't have picked a better place to train if we tried. The young instructors are a credit to JMA, such great role models to our girls. We all know how important it is to have great role models outside of the family home, and we have definitely found them here. I'm 47 but the senior instructors have made me feel at home, everyone takes the time to teach me 1:1 when required-something you won't get else where. If you are thinking about a great family martial arts academy this is the place.

FAQ
It is really common for children to feel shy and wary of new things and entering a martial arts club can be intimidating, lots of new faces, loud noise and something they may not have seen before. We have full time coaches, assistant coaches and our leadership team all very good at working with shy students. If your child just wants to watch the first class that is fine too and we encourage parents to bring children a few times to help children feel safe and comfortable and in no time they will be asking to come to class!
Absolutely, the programs are reward based (belts and tagging system) which keeps them focused. Children love praise and to be rewarded for their hard work. The instructors are terrific at motivating the kids and harnessing a child’s natural energy levels to get the best out of them
Little Tigers is our youngest class and starts at 3 years old. We have members ranging in age from 3 – over 60
We have OT referrals all the time. We work with a variety of children who are working with OT’s for many different reasons and all see dramatic improvements.
No. At JMA we have never had contracts, we understand that some people are committed on their black belt journey and others are looking to try a variety of sports.
Absolutely not! One of the first rules we cover is there is no kicking and punching other people.
We teach kids (and adults) self-defense as a tool for personal growth and development. Kids learn to treat others as they want to be treated.
We also teach them how to react in situations in a non-violent manner. If a child is already acting out in a physical way before they start training with us parents will usually see a complete change in behaviour once the child has started training with us. They learn to respect others and not to use violence as a tool.
Absolutely, very quickly they will grow in confidence making them less likely to be targeted and within months they will develop skills that will help them stay safe if they are.

You are able to go and try out Alkimos and if that location suits you better, then you will need to become a member of Alkimos.
