I absolutely love the ladies kickboxing sessions at MKG. I did the 6 week beginners course which was really, really good - Enjoyed it so much that I signed up to carry it on. Thought I'd feel really awkward about going on my own and was a bit nervous as have never done anything like it before - Needn't have worried - There's a really good atmosphere and you'll be made to feel really welcome. The instructors are really patient, very knowledgeable and encouraging. Highly recommend that you give MKG a try - If you're like me and don't like the gym or want to do something a bit different, do this. More...

I've been coming to MKG Southampton regularly since March 19 and wholly recommend it to anyone looking to raise their fitness levels, learn some nifty self defence, or indeed learn and become engrossed within the MKG method. I had no previous martial art experience, and my fitness level at the time was properly shoddy, but was made to feel very welcome and included by Aaron and Sarah and the other instructors, a theme that continues during my time here. Now, in December, I've earned my 'yellow belt' in Muay Thai, and will be undertaking the same grade in Kali at the next opportunity. There's a wide range of disciplines and levels of activity and art available, as well as a couple of membership options, that allow you to come as little or as much as you'd like. If you're on the fence, then Aaron frequently runs beginner opportunities, so it's worth giving them a message to see what's coming up. I started MKG because a couple of friends were involved and it sounded fun, but it quickly became a fairly important part of my life, one full of very fun and interesting people. I'm very grateful to be part of it More...

Have trained Muay Thai on and off for around 10 years. MKG is the gym with the friendliest atmosphere and welcomes all abilities. Aaron has grown the gym from small beginnings to the success it is now. I would recommend this gym to any one wanting to keep fit or learn any of the arts Aaron & the team offer. My 6 year old daughter is going to start Kids martial arts very soon too More...

5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ I’ve been going to the ladies classes on a Monday and Wednesday for over a year now and I absolutely love it. Everyone is so friendly and make you feel so as ease and comfortable. It’s a great way to stay fit as well as learning something new. Never thought I’d say I enjoy “exercising and working out” but I really do when I come to MKG. If you’re thinking about trying it you 100% should you’ll love it! ♥️ More...

I have been training in Martial Arts for over 15 years and have never felt more at home and at ease as I do when training at MKG Southampton. I have trained in many Gyms, both as a competitor and a recreational Martial Artist, none of which I have felt as confident as I do here. Both Aaron and Sarah are extremely passionate about their students, not only do they encourage learning the art but they create a positive environment in which you can have fun and build meaningful friendships along the way. I too wish I had found both MKG Southampton and the MKG Family sooner! If you are looking for somewhere to learn an effective art with lots of smiles along the way then MKG is where it's at! More...

I wish I had found MKG Southampton years ago. I have studied various martial arts, in many different ways. What the MKG Family have done is, in my opinion, create the best martial arts platform. They have filled their ranks with positive, motivational, helpful and extremely talented instructors to such an extent that they have changed my life in massive ways, for which I am already eternally grateful. MKG will not only teach discipline, fitness, skill & confidence, it provides everything required for physical, mental & soulful development. There are a huge varieties of different martial arts to try, learn or master, and within the MKG Family you can go from a total newbie beginner all the way up to a Master, in a world renowned & respected complete martial arts system. Get in touch & come & see for yourself. More...

Having trained here for a year now I can't recommend MKG highly enough. I started off with zero experience in any kind of martial art, and through the vast knowledge of the instructors, and the philosophy behind MKG I have developed a passion for all the arts that they teach here. I felt welcomed instantly in an environment that can often seem intimidating to newcomers. And I can honestly say that they are the most awesome bunch of guys to train with. More...

Been doing the Kali class twice a week for about 6 months now and loving it! Aaron and the rest of the instructors are great guys, disciplined when they need to be, casual and fun when they can be and always welcoming and encouraging. Everyone in the class is friendly and the classes themselves are so varied you'll never get bored. More...

I started the ladies kick boxing classes 2 years ago, I was a bit apprehensive at first as exercise and fitness has never really been my thing and I would usually give up after a few weeks, but with kick boxing I am hooked and look forward to every class. All of the instructors are extremely patient and will take the time to explain and show the correct moves, they are also very experienced and passionate about what they teach. I would definitely recommend MKG Southampton to anyone wanting to try something different as once you start there is no looking back!! More...

I started ladies kick boxing at MKG 5 weeks ago and really love the classes. I've had the opportunity to learn self defence, new techniques, and to develop my fitness and core strength beyond where I imagined. Everyone is so welcoming. It really doesn't matter what level you are at in terms of your abilities as you will be supported to get the best from your technique, and work as hard as you can for your fitness. I would recommend MKG to all my friends and family, as there really is a class for everyone. More...

The guys and girls who I train with are awesome to, there are no egos at the gym just hard working people who will help push you and encourage you to go that one step further.
Absolutely Amazing place.

When I first started going to Muay Thai I did not realise how far I would get with it everyone treats you equally and never judges you for what skill you have. Everyone’s always smiling and happy to see each over and that’s what I love about it! I can really say these guys are family because no matter what they will help me improve what I need help with and have a laugh at the same time. �� More...

They are very patient and knowledgeable and help you every step of the way. I started just doing the ladies kick boxing, but now I go to lots of the other classes they offer as well. I love it and recommend it to anyone to come down and give it a go. More...

My daughter (age 10) started training at MKG Southampton almost a year ago and absolutely loves it. Her self confidence and fitness levels have greatly improved in this time and she looks forwards to a fun but challenging session each week. Watching her enjoyment each week and the way the instructors encourage development without pressure, I decided to start taking Kali classes myself..... I am now hooked. MKG Southampton has been very welcoming and as a complete beginner I have been given lots of support and encouragement from all the instructors in an ego less friendly environment. My wife is about to sign up for Ladies Kick Boxing and we have also started attending Silat classes as a family. Great way to keep the body and mind fit and active. More...
