My daughter has been wanting to attend a martial arts class for a long while now and I finally relented and signed her up to Aspire UMA acadamy after she tried a taster course held by them at her school. She couldn't be happier as she enjoys the classes immensely and looks forward to them every week. I can already see her confidence growing and I am hoping that this continues.
From my point of view as a complete newbie to this type of club, Mr Griffiths has been incredibly helpful in explaining how it all works, what I need to do to support my childs learning & most importantly....how to tie the belt! Pil Seung Sir!

What a fantastic martial arts academy, filled with fun filled exercise drills and games. All instructors give 100% commitment to encouraging and supporting students in their learning as well as giving help and advice to parents. I have enjoyed watching my 2 grandsons grow in confidence as well as other students. The respect and support they have for each other in class is so nice to see. Well done everyone. May you continue to grow.

Since my son and I enrolled at UMA Acadamy Eastleigh we have both really enjoyed learning new skills and techniques involved in martial arts. The Instruction is professional and the classes are very enjoyable. Having something to work for is great and seeing people in the class who have already achieved so much is inspiring and shows you what can be gained from hard work and determination. I would highly recommend this particular martial art class and look forward to progressing through the belts. Pil Seung!

My daughter and I have recently joined this new school as black belts, having had a break from martial arts. I am impressed with the set up, and feel safe and confident in the controls measures in place under COVID guidelines. Sabumnim Griffiths is able to engage adults and children of all ages, ensuring classes are fun and inspiring for all. The training is well thought out and carefully planned to progress students at different stages of their journey.We really enjoy training here and highly recommend to anyone looking to learn, get fit, and feel a sense of achievement
