Reviews of Mahoutsukai Avonmouth Dojo

This school caters to beginners and experts alike. Whilst it teaches the techniques in their traditional forms according to the 9 schools, the techniques are then 'modified' for street fighting and other scenarios that are a little more likely within modern society.

The teacher, Jerry Beeston, is incredibly knowledgeable and has endless enthusiasm about all aspects of training. You are quickly dragged along and will likely find the class ending far sooner than you'd ever care it to.

In terms of grading, he doesn't charge and expects a good performance. If you don't pass, he'll critic you and he, and every other member of the class, is always happy to work with you on your weaknesses so you can pass next time.

In short - you'll get knocked down, a lot, but you'll soon be rolling back up again and returning the favour.

I've learnt a lot in terms of martial arts and so much about the human anatomy- reasons behind each move.

It's a great way to relieve stress and keep fit as well as make friends and have fun.

Being a girl I don't feel at all undermined, I'm treated and fought with equally.
