STUDENT REVIEWS
Reece
"I joined TJ's Academy Of Martial Arts back in 2007. I felt comfortable right away due to the friendly atmosphere, which still continues to this day. I find the style very simple but effective, and I know it would help me in any scenario, such as knife escapes, punches, kicks, grabs and using improvised weapons. I feel my confidence has been boosted, knowing that I am able to defend myself in everyday life."
Shane
"I first joined TJ's Martial Arts as a 11 year old as a shy boy and I am now 31 years old still attending classes, this club has really done a lot for me over the years giving me confidence in general and I have also learnt some excellent self defence from the chief instructor Trevor by attending classes. I would fully recommend anyone to come along as all the students are friendly and everyone is willing to help creating a welcoming atmosphere and making the classes enjoyable every week"
Matt
"One of the best clubs in the UK to understand how Systema works. Highly recommend it"
Donna
"Brilliant club.... great people and fantastic self defence for all levels"
Stuart
"TJ's Academy Of Martial Arts is a real gym, chief instructor Trevor Jordan is the real deal and a nice bloke. Systema is a combat system to any age, size & gender. There is no sport in Systema. It is effective. I thoroughly recommend this system"
Ryan
"When I joined TJ's Academy Of Martial Arts, I immediately felt welcomed and at home with the group. Trevor, the chief instructor, demonstrates Systema self-defence techniques with ease. I learn a lot from him and my fellow students, who range from beginners to highly skilled practitioners. This diversity allows us all to learn from each other and grow together. The class provide clear goals and focus for my improvement through a structured belt and grading system. Additionally, there are opportunities for workshops on weapon self-defence and weekend camps, which are fantastic. I highly recommend this academy - definitely deserving of a 5-star rating!"
Dan
"When I joined TJ's Academy Of Martial Arts, I definitely felt good vibes as well how fun the training is. Highly recommend it. Just don't take my word for it, come give it a go."
Jim
"I joined Systema 3 and a half years ago through a friend that went. As I probably wouldn't have joined myself at 45 years old with low confidence. A very friendly team and students attend and teach you with all the other different body types which has helped me gain more confidence, skill and friends. Personally I love how once you understand it. How easy it is and the science behind being simple but very effective."
Sophie
"I joined this club in hopes that I would feel more confident in defending myself against knife crime and other violent acts that seem to happen so frequently nowadays. As a small female I automatically think I wouldn’t be able to fight off an attacker but just being in this class for less than 5 months has already improved my confidence and I can already see an improvement. The group are very friendly and welcoming and are a very supportive community. I would highly recommend TJ’s to anyone of any ability"
Jenny
"I was looking for a self defence class rather than a martial arts class and I came across TJ's Academy Of Martial Arts. I went along to the first class, with my daughter, both feeling nervous and totally out of our depth, however there was no need. The class has a range of age groups and abilities and we were made very welcome. They cover escapes from punches, knifes, guns and much much more. The first lesson was free, to get a feel of what the class do. We signed up straight away and have been going there for 4 months. I would recommend these self defence classes to anybody."
Joel
"I trained at TJ's Academy Of Martial Arts for 2 years. They gave me great confidence and fitness training, always looking after their members. A great club and great people."
