"I Have really enjoyed watching all the lessons and gradings to see all the participants gradually progress toward their goals and grow in respect and self-esteem, it is great fun and also exciting. I have two daughters Gemma and Kerry both have attended class and both attained brown belts. They have been training for about two years in this time their self confidence, co-ordination and self defence techniques have improved greatly. They enjoy the physical sport and the way the lessons are taught because it gives them a good workout as well as having fun at the same time. They have made new friends and enjoy it so much they have only missed one lesson since starting. I would recommend the lessons for anyone who wants to get fit, learn self defence and have fun at the same time."

Junior Martial Arts (5 - 12 Years)

"I am nine years old, I love Tao Karate, I have been doing it for eight months. It gives me concentration at school and is good if people bully me. It is a great sport. The best thing is that Darryl (my instructor) shows me different things each week. I get to fight different people in sparring and do different moves. The belts are great to do, there are different colour belts to get, it is so good. There are different aged people and children that do different things. I Love Tao Karate a lot because I get to fight my sister and friends and makes you feel really good."

Senior Martial Arts (13 Years - Adult)

"Since starting karate 4 years ago I feel I have developed both mentally and physically as a person. I have also achieved a brown belt grade. My instructor has excellent communication skills and pushes me to do my very best at all times, giving me the determination to carry on and hopefully gain in my abilities and grades. I really enjoy going to class every week and think it is the best thing I could have chosen to do as a fitness sport."

-Kerry Clarke (Student Tao Karate.)

"I have been attending classes for about two years, in this time I have achieved my brown belt and also learned to defend myself. In the lessons you have fun and exercise. I feel it has boosted my confidence and allowed me to make friends. On my first day at karate I thought it was going to be like school, but it is not people shouting it is friends showing and explaining what to do. When I am in class I have fun. I Think it's great."
