Reviews of Newport Self Defence (Total Body Defence Ju Jitsu)

My 2 sons have been attending for past 8 months. I had previously tried a few different classes for them but found it hard to keep them interested and motivated. They both look forward to this class every week and are constantly talking about it. Most of this is due to Nathan and Karl, under their instruction they learn the art of self defence with the element of fun that children need to keep interested and motivated.

Keep up the good work lads .

This is a very welcoming and friendly class. I found the instructors to be encouraging, motivational and very knowledgeable. It is also a fun environment to learn self defence. I began this class as an absolute beginner at 46, achieved 2 gradings and would still be going if old rugby injuries hadn't caught up with me.

If you are thinking of giving martial arts a try, I would recommend Newport total body defence ju jitsu.

Great class run by very experienced and committed people.

Kids and adults always made to feel welcome and will learn. Great defence skills for woman and confidence boosting for teenagers

I found this to be a very friendly and confidence inspiring class. Nathan is a very knowledgeable and approachable instructor. Even after my first (free!) lesson, I felt comfortable enough to join in a demonstration of what I had learnt in just one hour.

This experience has been the same for all of the instructors I have encountered over the years. A great way to keep in shape and stay healthy!

Fantastic fitness and technique building class for adults wanting to learn self defence, tailored to fit individual needs. Especially good for women wanting to learn how to defend themselves.

The children's class is excellent not only for self defence but is great for coordination discipline and fitness. My children always have great fun with the instructors at Newport TBD and thoroughly enjoy the class.

Started TBD with Nathan at his first class many moons ago at pill mill he & his class has come a very far way from then. He's a top class instructor with vast knowledge & a lot of patience, excellent with the children & now he's added Karl .To the mix they are a great team. I would advise anyone to take up this martial arts with this great team ,wish them all the best & I'll be back soon.

Nathan and Karl are brilliant with all the kids. They keep them engaged through active sessions that are fun yet and teach the children the techniques required to become confident in self defence.

Each lesson builds confidence as well as improving technique and health.

All the kids love each and every session. I would highly recommend to all parents.

Nathan and karl provide a fun environment for my son and daughter to learn in. Through their teaching, they make all children feel valued, empowering them to succeed. Keep up the great work- the children love it!

Nathan and Karl provide first class self defence tuition and fitness training within the class. A practical and effective system to learn, in a safe friendly atmosphere ( no ego ).

First class instruction by a group of instructors, all with a lot of experience and knowledge of martial arts & fitness. Friendly, welcoming adults and also has a popular childrens class too.
