The Essex Martial Arts Academy Testimonials

I have been attending the ladies kick boxing classes for a year now and they are so much fun. The instructors are very knowledgeable, friendly and are always willing to help. Its an enjoyable workout.

If your interested in learning martial arts, I highly recommend this club. Friendly atmosphere and highly trained people to help you acheive the goals you set yourself.

The kick boxing classes on a monday are fantastic! Jason and co push you but also have a good laugh with you. Great atmosphere and great class!!

to sum up the dojo in a few words, great atmosphere, great teacher and great students

I have been attending for just a few months and have found it to be very enjoyable and the techniques learn are very effective. This is a good club to join if your interested in martial arts.

This Martial arts academy teaches all different things which you can apply to anything in life and more importantly it keeps you fit and acitve.

It is hard to find a place like the Kinkan Dojo, where else can you get taught great techniques in such a perfect atmosphere? I've been training at the dojo for a number of years, so much so that I've lost count!
I started in the kids class, which I found had the right balance between 'Fun' and 'Serious', where you had fun activities at the start and ending of the lesson and proper training during the rest of it. On a few occasions, we would spend even longer on specific activities and games! Jason has thoughtfully changed the syllabus for the kids, so that they only have to learn half as much as the adults per grade, but the content is still the same, so transfer into the adults class is smooth. The adults class is a lot more serious compared to the childrens class, but it still retains a good atmosphere, everyone is friendly and you can ask anyone for help. Overall I would reccomend the dojo to anyone, big or small, not just for self-defence, but for building yourself as a person.

i go to the ladies kickboxing on wed night and i can tell you it was fantastic the teacher jason is brilliant and it also get u fit and healthy i aslo lost inches with them as well i would recommend you try it out it fab!

My son has now been learning martial arts for over 1 year and is still throughly enjoying it. The teachers are fantastic with both children and adults, incouraging them thoughtout every class. i would recommend this academy to every parent for themselves or there children, it's truly first class.

I really enjoy it, everyone is really friendly and always willing to help. You can join at any age, learn to defend yourself, make new friends and grow as a person... aswell as losing a few pounds along the way! Since i've been doing it i've lost 1 1/2 stone!

I joined the ladies kickboxing class with my sister 2 years ago. Its a fantastic class and its a great way to improve your fitness and keep fit, whilst having fun! Jason and his team are great, very friendly and encouraging and give us a tough workout which is different every week. You sure do see the benefits though! Best class around!

in a all its very good

The things I love about Essex martial arts is the tutoring provided clear instructions, a mix of great instructors also a class that welcomes you and does not make you feel uneasy as a beginner .the classes teach you a wide range of self defence and martial arts skills

This martial arts club(the kinkan dojo)is by far the best and well managed dojo's that i have trained in,a friendly atmosphere that always welcomes new students,i have been training for two and a half years now and look forward to mid week and weekend sessions,the emphasis is serious yet controlled and relaxed and i see myself traing for many more years to come.

Joined ladies kickboxing class on a Wednesday evening nearly two years ago and now try to go on a Monday as well. The class is an excellent way to keep fit and also have fun. Nobody feels out of place when coming to the class. Jason and his little helpers are excellent.

Trained at the kinkan dojo for 4 years. This is a truly exceptional club with authentic martial arts

I ve been a member of a few jujitsu clubs in the past 2 years, and this is the first i ve stuck with. The reason? Well it is the best i ve been to so far. What you will find here is a friendly, truely fun enviroment to train in, and a disciplined and well taught one to succeed in.

Jason manages to bring about a perfect balance in his teaching, with everything explained so you truely understand what it is your learning, how it works and even how to counter. This shows it benifits in his class as it instantly becomes apparent all his students are on top of their game which is really rare to fine. After all you can always judge a class by its weakest member, and you ll be hard to find that here :)

I was approached by a member of the ladies kickboxing club at the Havering Town Show 3 years ago which got me interested. I attended the group for a year and a half before leaving to have my daughter and missed it soo much. The classes are fun and instructors encouraging. I came back 3 months after having my baby and am looking forward to getting back into shape. Jason makes each class different and exciting which makes me eager to return the next week.

My son has attended the club twice a week for the last 3 years. The class is very structured and he looks forward to the tests for badges and belts. Fantastic instructors who keep the students motivated. Well Done

I have been attending the womens kick boxing classes for nearly 2 years. Myself and my sister-in-law go at least once a week. The exercise programmes Jason and his team put together are really challenging and different each week. You are pushed and encourage to your work beyond your personal fitness levels. I am so much fitter and healthier than I was 2 years ago. Come join the fun - lots of sweat and laughter!!! Its the best fitness class I have ever attended - keep up the good work!!!!

Kinkan Dojo offers a very friendly and welcoming yet disciplined atmosphere to learn a traditional Japanese Martial Art. It is also a great way to keep fit and learn new skills and techniques with the lessons always varied and the teaching absolutely superb!!

i love the way they encourage you to work to your hardest, they ask what you want to get out of doing this training and help you to reach your goal,, just love doing it wish i had found this years ago i would be a size 6 by now...lol

Great Traditional Japanese Martial Arts,
Great club,
Great people
Keep up the good work at The Kinkan Dojo

This is a very well maintained, well catered for company. Always very organised, with good co-operation skills. Ready to help and explain at any given point. I have tried many other clubs with my children before this and this by far is the best.

I have been part of the dojo for nearly two years now and have thoroughly enjoy learning a new skill, keeping fit and meeting a very friendly, welcoming bunch of people.
I have tried other martial arts before but Kinkan Dojo has the right mix of disciple and fun so you get a real understanding of ninjutsu & jujutsu whilst also enjoying the classes.

I started off going to Jasons womens Kick boxing classes on a monday evening and I really enjoyed them, out of all the classes I have attended they are definatley the best. I then doscovered that Jason also taught a childrens Jujitsu class, my son really wanted to try it so I took him along one week and he loved it. The instructors are all really nice and professional. My son absolutely loves going each week, it has helped build his confidence and his concentration, his self-discipline has also improved. He loved putting his uniform on for the first time and he felt really proud of himself. He is looking forward to doing his first badge test soon. I think the badge tests are a great idea, it helps the children make small achievements and it keeps them interested and motivate, I would recommend this to anyone.

Kinkan Dojo offers great classes in a variety of traditional Japanese martial arts. The sensei is a terrific teacher, ensuring that classes are always fun, but also that you learn to develop your abilities to the full.

I really like the opportunity that the Essex Martial Arts Academy provides to learn traditional martial arts. The instruction is excellent with a good ratio of teachers to students. There is lots to learn which means it never gets dull. Would encourage everyone to try it.

I have been going for a while now. I am 7 and love this out of all my clubs. It is the best. We also play games and learn to exercise as well as new words. Mummy says I have come on since I started. It is good.

My son has just joined and really enjoys going and learning about martial arts with his friends.

I looked around a long time before being lucky enough to come across Kinkan Dojo. The expertise and professionalism of the instructor is something you don’t often find. He has a good sense of humour and is always willing to help and explain techniques and traditions to help you reach your potential. All different types of people, at all different levels, train at the dojo. They are a great group to train with and classes are friendly and fun. It is great to learn while keeping fit but what I love most about the classes is their variety and authenticity – we are learning true martial arts as practiced by the Grandmaster himself and I am proud to be a part of the tradition.

The class is a great work out and the time goes very quick. I thought it would be so hard to do a kickboxing class but the instructors are patient and dont mind going over steps when you just cant grasp it!! Much more enjoyable than an hours gym workout!!!

The academy enables me to get fit and lose weight in a fun, relaxed environment. I would recommend it to anybody!!

Great class on a Monday - Kick Boxing come on girls

I have been going to jujutsu since 2007. I look forward to going every week to learn new techniques and earn my badges and belts. Jason is a great teacher and he gives me confidence and motivates me to be successful.

my name is calvin and i love my lesson with my sensi and my sempi.i cant wait til im a black belt

Effective Management of an Absolute Martial Art - Kinkan Dojo – Simply the best!
Joined this Jujutsu club a couple of years ago and haven’t looked back. Jason (Sensei) is an excellent instructor who, in this day and age has managed to combine discipline, respect and hard work with good fun and achievement, which in turn has created a great atmosphere.
The club is supported by a terrific group of people from all ages. Come down and see for yourself!

I really love my son going to jujutsu, he started in 2007 and know goes twice a week.
It has improved his confidence and he is motivated by the teachers and the fact that he can see how quickly he can progress. It has also helped his focus.
fantastic, would recommend it!!
