Testimonials

"Very skillful and inspiring instructors in all round martial art and sports training methods. Inspiring in discipline, positive behavior and leading by example. More than simply martial arts alone."

"Fantastic instruction, not your average academy but techniques 'with a twist'. Great for old, young, fit, unfit alike."

Darren Hunter

"It certainly is the best, fantastic instructors, and of course the heart of the academy Mrs Bonthuys"

Rosie Salt

"I have moved around a lot and been a member of many martial arts academies in several different martial arts. I have come to the conclusion that the teacher is more important than the particular martial art being taught. Master Bonthuys is an exceptional teacher and has surrounded himself with a cadre of exceptional teachers who teach students where they are in an uplifting manner and take them beyond where they think they can go."

Terry R

"I'd like to thank both Jason and Ben Bonthuys for making Alex's birthday extra special. The Korean Martial Arts lesson you both provided last night was without doubt the funniest and most memorable I think that as parents either Angela or myself have ever seen. You are both excellent instructors, and the sparing session you came up with will live in the memory for a long long time. Thank you."

She had outstanding GCSE results, 9 A* and 2 A grades, achieved her Silver DofE award, she was selected out of over 200 applicants to attend a national Girlguiding event - Camp CEO to encourage future women leaders and will tomorrow complete Positive Start with you guys. We are very proud of her and are sure that the program has helped with her confidence no end."

Jo Aldridge


"I joined Martial Art World in March to improve my fitness levels and self-confidence and have already seen an improvement in both. This is due in no small part to the fun way we are taught. Although the work outs are tiring for a man of my age Iʼm amazed at how much more I can do now than I was able to do in the past, in fact I took part in a sponsored run for the very first time recently and finished in the top half. The friendliness of all involved at Martial Art World makes taking part a real pleasure!"

"I would like to say thank to all the wonderful instructors and Mrs Bonthuys for being there for us all."

Diane Wedge

"I cannot recommend MAW highly enough for students of all ages and abilities. From the moment you arrive you can tell that MAW is a family run organisation as the care and consideration is second to none. They really take the time to understand your goals and aspirations and ensure that the experience is right for you. This is the first coaching organisation I have ever been involved with where money really doesn't feel like the motivator and that only serves to enhance the experience.The facilities are purpose built and superb - none of the 'old church hall' here - and this allows for a very safe training environment. Vastly experienced instructors and a very comprehensive, well thought out syllabus ensure that you always know 'where you are heading' and feel fully supported in getting there. Everyone is judged individually so there is no embarrassment in your first class and everyone is very welcoming.If you are considering a training program for yourself, whatever your goals or perhaps for your family, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend MAW to anyone. Go along, you wont regret it. Hope to see you there!"

"I started Tae-Kwon-Do at Martial Art World when I was 9 and I am now 12. Tae-Kwon-Do has helped me at school because I am getting better grades. I have made new friends at Tae-Kwon-Do and i would truly recommend it. It doesn’t matter whether you are 8 or 65, so go along have a go."
