A fantastic class for all ages

I have been taking my daughters to a family class in Maidenhead and we absolutely love it. There is a real community spirit and we felt welcome from our first class. Sensei and Senpai balance discipline with humour perfectly. As a 44 year old woman, it is a great way to improve strength and fitness as well as learning new skills and build some new neural pathways! My daughter (10) loves the fact that you learn a new technique every week. My 13 year old loves that she feels a part of something that everyone enjoys. She appreciates all the feedback she receives because it helps her improve. I think it's been fabulous for our confidence. We highly recommend these classes!

Patient & friendly

The location to start of with is very convenient. Near local neighbourhood. The hall inside is quite spacious, easily able to get 20-30 students. There is also a seating area for parents to wait. Toilets and changing rooms are next to the hall. The instructors (mainly 3) are very friendly and supportive. They conduct the classes professionally which is vital for such an activity/art/skills but also they throw in a few friendly instructions. The packages, dates & timings offered are great and best thing is the flexibility to attend either of the two classes in a week (in case you miss one). So far my son & myself have enrolled recently in the ‘parent & kids class’ but have a strong feeling that it will go well for the future!

Amazing experience

My son has been attending classes for 2 months now. I was a bit sceptical initially however, after the trial class the confidence boosted and following a month, my son was already loving it.

Very knowledgeable professional instructors and ambience.

Surely recommend it.

My partner and I had a great experience

My partner and I had a great experience at Shuhari Self Defence & Martial Arts. From the very first day, everyone was incredibly welcoming and the communication has been excellent throughout.

It’s a really friendly, beginner-friendly environment which made us feel comfortable straight away. I was a bit nervous to start, but I genuinely enjoyed the sessions. Highly recommend for anyone looking to build confidence and learn self-defence in a supportive space

What a great place for kids to learn self defence

What a great place for kids to learn confidence and self defence. All teachers have a individual approach to the students helping them to get as most as possible from your lesson , there is no rush on the lesson , no one is stying behind just practice and more practice and useful knowledge. Great place if you want your kid to know how to protect him self and build a confidence. My son love it and awaiting every week for his lesson.

Shuhari self defence training

Shuhari self defence training is excellent, whilst all of the instructors are very serious about the training they give to the students they are also very understanding of each students concerns and needs, we looked at several martial arts clubs as we had concerns about school bullying, and of all those we looked at Shuhari was the best option by far, we have seen not only our child’s self defence skills develop but also their confidence and self respect grow. The Shuhari instructors seem to care for and treat all students as family.
Shuhari teachers students a better way of life and making life choices.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with the club.

It means a great deal to us to hear that you felt confident choosing our club, especially when your decision was based on concerns about bullying.

Our instructors work really hard and hearing that your child has grown in both skill and confidence is exactly why we teach.

Thank you again for your trust and support. It really does mean a lot to the whole team.
