Very impressive. The instructor, Martin, has such a great reputation as a careful and caring instructor that I had to check him out. He has a no nonsense attitude to martial arts, has a well document training syllabus, and runs gradings every 2 months, and gets people up to black belt in about 2 years.
I've trained in many styles of martial arts, including taekwondo, but this club runs so effeciently, it left me feeling quite upset/annoyed with the other clubs that I trained with, as after training with Martin, I realised that there are so many things that are left out in the other clubs. He makes me smile every lesson, with his humble manner towards his own ability, usually highlighting how much better his members are than him. His teaching style is absolutely fantastic, and he is so keen on getting people up to black belt standard. His black belts are really amazing. I've heard it said that "to be a good black belt takes about 5 to 6 years of training. That's nonsense! One of Martin's guys, Michael Handakas, got to black belt in just over a year on a fast track course, and was one of the most impressive guys I've ever seen.
Unfortunately, my job takes me all over the country, so I can never commit to long term training with him.
