Martial Spirit

The boxing program at Martial Spirit is first rate. Ollie the head boxing coach is fantastic to work with. His classes are a good mix of skills based training and fitness.

Sensi Peter has created a beautiful, safe space for children to really build their confidence. My son came out of lock down feeling not very confident in himself. I've seen a complete 180 in my son since starting the sprouts program. Peter really promotes inclusivity, giving everything a go and building confidence. It's not just martial arts, I can't recommend Martial Spirit hard enough, his Brown Belt assistant is ace too! Always doing everything with a smile.

3 stars because there were some 5 star qualities and some 1 star moments. I had been wanting to sign up to Martial Spirit for years, and was really excited when I was finally able to afford to. Some things I wish I'd known - about half the people were welcoming, there was some high expectations of learning curves and discipline to train straight away, you have to sign up for 3mths minimum which is an expensive trial when you realise its not for you after 1mth. It's a shame, I really hoped Aikido and this dojo was for me.

Martial Spirit is a welcoming and experienced gym which I am glad to have joined for the past six months. One of the most notable aspects about MS is that when you walk through the door, you are greeted by either Peter or Felicia. This is but one of the many things about MS which make the gym strongly inviting and allows you to feel apart of a close martial arts community.I exclusively trained muay thai under coaches Matt and Sergi. Coach Matt is not only experienced in this martial art, yet, he is a patient and understanding teacher who knows how to cater to the needs of each student. Coach Sergi comes with a wealth of experience and provides solid advice regarding technique, fitness etc.If you are contemplating joining a martial arts gym, Martial Spirit is my gym of choice as the inclusive and experienced gym the owners have put together create a friendly community unique in its on way.

Martial Spirit is a wonderful community that enables and assists the well being of each individual its members. The Team is supportive, nurturing and friendly. I have been doing Aikido here for over four years and I am honoured to be part of the Martial Spirit community. Peter Sensei is passionate, highly skilled, thoughtful and is supportive on the journey of restoring the balance of the psyche and the physical well-being through the Aikido Martial Art.

An amazing dojo that has built a fantastic dedicated and supportive community. All of the staff, coaches and senseis are life long martial artists who are dedicated to helping their students achieve their goals. The kids programs has been invaluable to my child. They have created a supportive and disciplined environment where children thrive. My 4yo daughter will start soon. In each of the 5 martial arts offered, you will experience a team and community that help one another, as witnessed by the volume of people that stay and become family.A dojo like no other.

Great gym, I've been attending for 18 months, I started with boxing, added BJJ and recently started squeezing in a Muay Thai class where possible. All the coaches are great, the classes are very technical (but for all levels), there is the opportunity to compete but there is no need to if you just want to expand your skills set and get fit while having fun. All classes provide mental as well as physical stimulation. My son (5 years) does the kids program (junior sprouts), he has been doing this for 6 months and has greatly improved in that time, in skills, attention span and behaviour. There is also a well-equipped weights area, good change area, showers and chill out zone.

Sergi and Matt were extremely kind and welcoming during my first Muay Thai class in nearly 20 years. They let me go at my own pace and provided guidance when necessary. The other students were patient and accomodating and I never felt like a burden. The whole experience was fantastic and I knew I was going to sign up after the first 30 minutes. Felicia explained the different membership options and I never felt pressured to commit to anything on the spot. She was very understanding of my situation and gave me the options to suit. I was also given advice on what equipment to buy and where to get it from. This is a wonderful gym, fairly priced and with a great community. Easy 5 stars!

Excellent facilities and knowledgeable instructors. A great environment for learning a wide range of martial arts in an atmosphere that is 100% free of toxic meathead mentality

Martial Spirit has been an important part of our family over the past 5 years. Both my young kids (10yo and 8yo) train aikido and judo there and are taught not only self defence but self-discipline, resilience, respect for one self and others, strength and mindfulness. They both genuinely enjoy training there 2-3 times a week and I’ve seen them progress and improve as little human beings. Sensei Peter is very kind and respectful and teaches his students on the important life values that carry outside of the dojo and in to their daily lives. Definitely recommend checking out Martial Spirit for young and old. The dojo and facilities are of high quality and there’s a strong sense of community when you enter. Martial Spirit even ran sessions remotely via zoom during COVID lockdowns to keep my kids engaged.
