The academy has a really great feel to it - high standards, careful and caring of students. I've only ever had respectful experiences from other students. Starting my martial arts training has been an eye opener, its a solid place to care for my emotional and physical health, and i wish i had started before i was 51! But im looking forward to growing older with taekwondo. Huge thanks to all the teaching and welfare staff at the Rising Spirit academy. More...

My son joined Rising Spirit Academy over a year ago. From the initial introduction and then the classes that followed, I can’t fault the service, guidance, encouragement professionalism and ethos, shown throughout. It’s not just about the arts themselves, but also about the respect, care and sense, shown by Master Williams and Miss Ward and all the students on all levels of the course. I watched my son, twice a week for over a year and saw the improvement in his overall skill and fitness and attitude and was so taken with the whole thing, that four months ago, I finally signed up!! So glad that I did. Thank you to the Academy. It’s just brilliant! More...

Brilliant, professional academy, very worthy of it's Centre of Excellence status! Master Williams is a superb teacher, he's incredibly knowledgeable and his classes are always fun and engaging. Students are really well looked after here.
I love the respect, the traditional, smart uniforms and the etiquette here whilst remaining great fun! Everyone's so nice, including the instructors, and I've made loads of friends. I'm fitter now than I've ever been and it hasn't seemed like hard work because I've enjoyed it so much.

Can't recommend this place enough! More...

I went for a trial class a while ago. I used to train kick boxing but in Swindon (amazing instructor). During this classes I wasn't able to train much. .. And then the instructor insist on meeting to talk about price. Yes, he would not tell me the price. We had to meet. We met. Rising Spirit is a lot about coaching, etc. It was not for me on many levels so I didn't join. After Swindon classes i have high expectations. More...

Rising Spirit is a fantastic, supportive martial arts academy with classes suitable for everyone from 4 upwards. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming, the teaching is accessible but will push you to achieve your best, and the overall focus on wellbeing and achieving your own goals has made this one of the most worthwhile things I've ever done with my time. The whole family are benefitting hugely from both the Taekwon-do and kickboxing courses. More...

I've been with the Academy for just over 4 years now and managed to achieve my Black Belt in Kickboxing which I'm really proud of. My fitness, coordination and confidence has grown so much since I joined, and I really enjoy the lessons. The twice weekly classes are intense, but fun, and the atmosphere is really positive, friendly and respectful. I'm really pleased to have stuck with the course through lockdown as has been a great stress-buster and the social support is excellent. Master Williams' patience, enthusiasm and positive approach to teaching makes every class enjoyable. 5* More...

The flexible training programme allows to attend up to four lessons a week. Each lesson is very intense and focuses on fitness, technique, and sparring. (Sparring is possible for students who completed the basics.) The regular gradings are very satisfying because I can see the progress I am making in my belts. The atmosphere among the students is great; people are very polite and kind, which creates trust and a positive attitude. More...

Rising spirit Academy I would gladly recommend Rising Spirit Academy to anyone looking to learn and progress in martial arts. I joined the academy a year ago in dual martial art program of taekwondo and kick boxing and progressed in both styles to a whole another level. The program helped me to grow in terms of physique, skills and also spiritually. Master Williams is highly experienced teacher who pushes us to always deliver our best and motivates us with his own achievements in the discipline. The program is always challenging and entertaining with the opportunities to take additional classes like weapon defence. I am excited for my future path in Rising Spirit Academy all the way to the black belt and beyond. More...

My 5 year old son started with the Academy earlier this year and my 6 year old soon followed suit having seen how much fun the lessons are! They are both getting a lot from the lessons - my youngest is developing his focus and attention, and the discipline of learning the moves really appeals to my oldest. There is something for everyone including having fun! The classes are well organised and Master Williams clearly brings a lot of innovative techniques to engage the children. Outside the lessons the communication from Master Williams and his team is great. I would definitely recommend Rising Spirit Academy. More...

Mr Williams came to our school to provide a session to our Year 7 pupils on self defense. He was absolutely fabulous, had great control of 109 pupils in a large space and delivered the session with high energy.

I have been attending Rising Spirit Academy for about 3 months now studying Taekwondo and kickboxing and highly recommend it! When I started I was fairly unfit, it has not only improved my fitness levels and boosted my confidence but also helped me quit smoking, lead a more healthy lifestyle as well as learn new martial arts skills. There have been many physical and mental benefits since joining! Chief Instructor Mr Williams is a brilliant teacher, very friendly but also professional and so is his assistant instructor Mr Fletcher. The classes are fun and well structured, new comers are always made to feel welcome! I'm proud to be a part of the academy and look forward to progressing further with them! More...
