My son has been doing the Mini Panda kungfu course since December 2018 and he s definitely loving it. I do think it s great for his confidence and also taught him it s ok to not always get the student of the week trophy therefor working hard to earn it. excellent school!

For those out there who wish to take up martial arts for self defence, discipline, or even for that little self esteem and motivation, then Meridian Kung Fu is the first stop that you NEED to visit. They really build you up from scratch. From a mental perspectiv, right through to the phyical aspec. You instantly gain confidence from this well organised team. And they have a branch to cater for wherever you live (so no excuses). With Sifu Darren Donovan (Brentwood) , Sifu Sata Chand and Sifu Steve Carpenter in your corner, is like winning the lottery - litterally. More...

Headquarters is a great place to learn! It also has equipment to practice with like the wooden dummy. I enjoy attending this branch for leadership meetings and gradings.

Fantastic school to go to. Learning Wing Chun has helped me with my anxiety and made me a better and stronger person. Was very nervous to start with, as I have never done anything like this before, but everyone is super friendly and made me feel comfortable straight away. I would recommend this to everyone!! More...

Really great club. I've not stuck to anything for more than a year or so before, but I've been at this club for over 6 years! ..that's a testament to how well run the school is. There are no ego's here, everyone learns at their own pace and with no pressure. Instructors and other students are more than happy to help with any queries and questions etc. Highly highly recommended More...

Starting Wing Chun with Meridian Kung Fu was one of the best decisions I've ever made. You learn traditional Kung Fu and self defence in a friendly welcoming and professional atmosphere. All of the Sifu's are very knowledgeable and help your confidence increase week on week. Great system! Great School! More...

I can't rate the women's self-defence course highly enough. The reason my children go to Meridian is so that I'm reassured that they can look after themselves, but I've always felt self-conscious about doing anything for myself. So when I saw the first course advertised, I felt a bit apprehensive, but booked in anyway. I'm really glad that I did. As soon as I arrived Angela and Annette were really friendly, reassuring and engaging. Within a few minutes of the class starting, we were learning about assault statistics (which are quite shocking), staying safe and demonstrating techniques that we can use even against bigger attackers. It was nice that we laughed and had fun too. The class size was quite small, so everyone could see, hear and get a good amount of hands on practice. Being a women-only class made it easier to relax and get over the uncomfortable feeling of starting something new, and was totally worthwhile. I'd definitely recommend that other women sign up for the self-defence course. I also think that young women in senior schools should be given the opportunity to take this class. More...

This is a skill for life. My 10 years old daughter and my 6 years old son have been practising Kung Fu for nearly 2 years and it's the best activity by far that they have tried out. The confidence it has given the children is so noticeable! It's so much more than just learning how to defend yourself. It teaches them respect, pride, how to be street wise and much more... And blimey those kids know how to kick and punch, gone are the days when they were practising on my husband! We need pads!! Its a fantastic team. More...
