Our Alex started Little Ninja course in February, he loves it! Lovely atmosphere, amazing teachers, patience, knowledge, support - free trial lesson that showed us what it is about, chat with Mr Williams and Ms Ward to answer all the questions and understand what it is about and we were onboard! Alex enjoys every afternoon which gives him some time to use up some of his enormous amount of energy. Thank you, this course supports his focus and behaviour at school. More...

My boys are part of the Rising Spirit Academy and have progressed really well in the last 6 months going from a white belt to purple belt. The staff are friendly and supportive. Discipline is a key feature and one of the main reasons I signed them up for martial arts. Master Williams doesn’t take any nonsense or misbehaving and Miss Ward is ready to listen and give advice with her open door policy. I would highly recommend Rising Spirit Academy to anyone with children who need to incorporate sport but also discipline into their lives. More...

My daughter received private Taekwondo lessons from Master Williams for just over a year, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the experience. In that time, she not only improved her Taekwondo techniques, but also developed greater confidence, focus, and discipline—skills that have benefited her well beyond the lessons themselves. One of the things we appreciated most was the flexibility and depth of the sessions. Because they were one-on-one, she was able to learn a combination of Taekwondo, self-defence, and nunchaku (double sticks) in a way that kept her both challenged and engaged. Master Williams tailored each session to her interests and learning pace, and she always looked forward to her lessons. His calm, respectful teaching style and genuine dedication to his students made every session meaningful. It has truly been a pleasure learning from him, and we’re thankful for the positive role he played in my daughter’s journey. Highly recommended. More...

The instructors are fantastic, and the positive atmosphere makes every class something to look forward to. Highly recommend for families looking for quality martial arts training! More...

My daughter and I started training with Master Williams at Rising Spirit, and it was an excellent choice for us. Great conditioning and instruction, serious but fun, and the changes have been almost immediate. I’m getting back into shape, my daughter’s confidence is growing, and with the side benefit that she’ll be able to handle herself if faced with a dangerous situation. I 100% recommend this club, for quality and value for money. More...

Absolutely amazing! The little boy I looked after had loads of pent up anger and struggled to listen at home and after a few sessions the master worked with us to make a magnet chart that has had such a positive influences and doing the martial arts has helped him so much it’s like a different child! Even the school have commented on change of behaviour More...

I spent 9 months at Rising Spirit and I must say it's one of the most enjoyable, organised and friendly martial arts academies I have ever been to. Master Williams, Miss Ward and Mr Hipkin manage to find the right balance between making things fun and bringing the best out of people. The classes themselves had a meditative focus effect, which also manages to push you out of your comfort zone at the same time, which I have found has made me a better person at home and at work. If you manage to commit to the course and attend most of the classes and gradings, you will find that it is definitely value for money. I have learned so much during my time here and would whole heartedly recommend to people who are looking for a well structured martial arts programme, and also, looking to get fitter than they have ever been before.

My two children 7 and 8 started at Rising Sprit just a couple of weeks ago and are already reaping the benefits, they are so positive about their training, as soon as we finish class they are already asking when they can return, their posture has improved, they are more interested in their fitness and are genuinely excited to learn which I believe is down to the staff and how they approach the children, the staff are all calm, informative and highly approachable, they put the kids at ease which makes it easier for them to build confidence. The setting is a warm, calm and safe environment and it’s a joy to watch them in action More...

I can't express enough how grateful I am for the incredible journey I've had under the guidance of Master williams at Rising Spirits. From the moment I started, it has been an exhilarating and transformative experience that has not only been fun but has also brought about significant positive changes in my life. One of the most remarkable aspects of training with Rising Spirit academy is the emphasis on holistic well-being. Beyond the physical aspects of Karate, the mental clarity I have gained is truly remarkable. The focus on mindfulness and discipline has not only sharpened my martial arts skills but has also provided me with a sense of mental clarity that extends into all areas of my life. It's as if the training sessions serve as a sanctuary for the mind, allowing me to approach challenges with a newfound sense of calm and focus. Thanks Rising Spirit academy. More...

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!

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...

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...
