Freestyle School of Martial Arts Karate for Kids & Self-Defence Classes in Slough & Yiewsley

My daughter began training 4 years ago and she has made loads of friends through the years with fsma being apart of a this martial arts family has not only increased her circle of friends but it has given her a great deal of confidence and even now it continues to build on that helping her with not only become more confident but as she grows and learns more she is beginning to focus more at school,  her school work is improving and she is trying harder in classes because she enjoys martial arts and wants to progress further in it and understands that to progress she needs to  show that she's working hard in other areas such as school and home on top of this she enjoys the exercise. I joined up to begin training alongside her 2 years ago and my fitness and strength is improving every week i enjoy training it's the best part of my week and through it I to have made new friends and grown more confident to deny a community an alternative to the usual weight lifting gym where they can make new friends, get fit, improve physical strength, increase there confidence all while having fun doing it and learning to protect themselves with self defense is a failure to the community  

My Daughter had zero confidence and was extremely shy around others. Due to this she was very vulnerable and bullied on a regular basis at school. FSMA was recommended to me via a friend. Since my child has been with FSMA She has gained so much confidence,  is more vocal and now makes friends more easily. FSMA classes gives my daughter focus and determination. My Child has flourished in such a positive way since joining. The Teachers always ensure the children are comfortable in class and spend time individually with each child to ensure that they get the best out of the classes and to enssure they succeed and progress to each childs ability. I cannot see that my daughter would have been able to progress, gain confidence and be more determined and focused as what she is now without these classes. I am so glad FSMA was recommended and that my daughter joined.

Both my daughter and son have built tremendous confidence since training with FSMA.  

I have two children enrolled at F.S.M.A, we originally registered our 9 year old son as a way to help him deal with strong emotions and develop self-discipline and resilience. Our 6 year old daughter was also interested and we enrolled her too. Since starting Taiquando we have seen big positive changes in both of our children; these far surpass our expectations. Our son has become much more calm and focused, he takes more pride in his achievements and sets himself goals and works towards them independently and with confidence. He has more pride in himself and more confidence and has also developed more compassion for others and has become fantastic at working in a team and actively looks for opportunities outside of martial arts to challenge and improve his skills. Our daughter used to be very shy, this used to be a detriment to her as she would miss out on opportunities because she was afraid to put herself forward, now we watch on with pride as she demonstrates her patterns in front of the whole class without any sign of shyness at all. She is more assertive with her friends and she contributes more at school. She is always saying how she wants to do things for herself because she wants to be independent and will go to her teachers at school and ask them to challenge her. Being part of F.s.m.a has helped both of my children thrive, they are part of the role model team within the school which I feel gives them a huge sense of responsibility, pride and belonging. Personally, I have (inspired by the changes in my children) taken up ladies kickboxing with f.s.m.a and have become much more confident working  towards my goals, have increased my fitness and feel stronger in myself and my abilities. I also work at a local school as a social and Emotional support worker and have seen changes in some of the children who attend f.s.m.a at the school I work at. Overall, I feel it is undeniable that martial arts is fantastic for helping children and adults with so many different things. We need more of it in the local area, we need more fitness more wellbeing and more wholesome activities and having a local centre that provides that and so much more will make a huge impact.

I have twin boys how joined when they were 4 years old one with low confidence and self esteem and one with ASD. Diaz has grown in confidence and is now very assertive and happy in class he has gained so much from listening to the teachers. Devonte with his Autisum does not trust many people but at FSMA he trust Sarah 110 percent he listen well he concentrates, for me these guys are like therapy for him , it's his routine he is focused all because the teachers have faith in the children. Both my children love to attend their lessons and to bring further opportunity of classes to the area would be fantastic

Both my son and my step-daughter attend classes more than once a week. They have gained focus, concentration, friends, skills, fitness and various other skills even extending to exploring the korean language. There is no limit to what a child can take from a class like this, they have genuine skills that they could use through their life and they have learned the value of fitness, especially through their healthy eating badges. Rather than sit around playing games, they will work on their required patterns and moves at home regularly without prompting. As well as the staff being very understanding of the situation surrounding my step-daughter having two families present at the club, I cannot stress enough that our experience so far has been positive beyond expectation. With other older students joining in to help, they have many strong role models who I'm sure will be valuable throughout their childhood as they progress through the belts. People in my family have made a career from learning martial arts, starting at a young age, so much so they have taken this skill all the way to Canada to start a business. I love the idea that my children will have something they can use as either a hobbie, a fitness tool or a career, while having fun.

I started kick boxing of may 2017. It's helped with my confidence and improved my health big time. Before I started I wasn't into anything but now each week I look forward to and enjoy  kick boxing. My daughter and son do the martial arts side and my daughter has come on leaps and bounds  and is so confident with in herself & enjoys learning new moves since she started in July 2016. My son only joined the club in November 2017 after moving from a different club and is  really enjoying training and looks forward to each lesson  .

My son has become very confident with in him self as he lacked confidence and his is enjoying being part of a team and making new friends

My daughter has been attending class once a week for over a year. In that time she has learned new skills but also her confidence has improved greatly. Staff is very friendly and professional at all times.

First time tonight and I loved it. Would recommend to anyone and will be definitely going again next week.

Great Instruction and an all-round pleasure to be part of a growing family as a 1st Dan Black belt. I would not have this grade now if it wasn't for the superior training I have received. Great club for all ages!

Great instructors patient and welcoming. The best thing I did for me and my family was joining the FSMA family. 5 stars and honoured to be part of their family!

Fantastic people run this place and my kids have learned so much about the martial art and improved in themselves with their attitude and confidence.
