Reviews!

Amanda Dee - Parent
 

My son has been going over 3 years and I have seen the confidence grow in him. Poon Dojo is a family and they support not only the children but their family as well. The staff are amazing and he looks forward to attending every Tuesday. I would encourage anyone who wants to get their child into martial arts to come along.

My daughters have been attending for some time now, and their experience has been overwhelmingly positive. The classes are well structured, allowing students to learn at their own pace while also being challenged. I wholeheartedly recommend it to other parents seeking a positive and enriching experience.

The most amazing trainers, kind considerate and compassionate. I joined a year ago and have made incredible progress due to the dedicated team at Poon Dojo.
