“Just wanted to say thank you for class, I thoroughly enjoyed it and looking forward to next week.

I was blown away with how you spoke and were teaching the children, you’re teaching them life lessons not just karate.

I’ve been to 2 different karate clubs and I’ve never seen anyone teach like you do, came away a little emotional as a parent.”

“I started my son in Symone’s class through a recommendation from friends and my son’s behavioural officer. This was to try and give him some self control and help his concentration and social skills. Nearly 3 years later my son has grown in confidence and some self control. Symone is amazing, patient and fair. She really puts her all in with her students and their different needs. I highly recommend her academy. So definitely give it a go, you won’t be disappointed ”

“You are an amazing role model to anyone; you helped me to become less shy and confident. Truly, if I didn’t join this community I certainly still would be the old shy, unconfident version of myself, so thank you so much”
