What our happy students in Byfleet say about us

Negar Amiri

We couldn't be happier with the classes! My son, Diyako, genuinely looks forward to every session and always comes home smiling. The instructors are incredibly friendly, professional, and supportive, making every child feel welcome and encouraged. The positive atmosphere, excellent coaching, and genuine care the team shows for each child's development really set them apart. We've seen a noticeable improvement in Diyako's confidence, skills, and enthusiasm since he started attending. A huge thank you to Farhaj and the entire team for all your hard work and dedication. I highly recommend these classes to any parent looking for a fun, engaging, and well-organised activity for their child.

I enrolled my son last September 2024 and since then his confidence has improved so much. The classes are high energy and fun and he looks forward to it all the time. It teaches them really good self defence skills and I believe this is an important skill in as they grow up into their adolescent years. I personally love watching the classes and seeing him developing his skills. The instructors are amazing and I strongly recommend this class.

I would highly recommend Unleash Self Defence to anyone interested. The instructors are very knowledgeable, really reassuring and made me feel really welcome as a beginner. I felt nervous as I’d never done anything like it before but they set me at ease quickly ☺️ Keep up the great work guys!

Stephen Holmes

My son (7) has been going for about a year and loves it! Tehseen is great with the kids, perfectly judging the right level of fun and teaching for them. The classes encompass a nice range of real-world techniques for their age group (blocking, punches, kicks, wrestling) that they can easily get to grips with, and through repeated practice build up speed and confidence. He especially loves the wrestling :)

Fantastic class and coaches! Really taking the time to support each child separately! Recommended

John Mc D

This is a great club to train with. The instructors are very friendly and knowledgeable. The classes are the perfect duration being just 1 hour. The students are very friendly and respectful of each other when sparing so you do not need to worry about getting injured. I have been training here about 2 months twice a week and I would highly recommend it for beginners or people with prior experience.

Chris Currie

Both my kids have joined up after their trail session and absolutely love it. Great variety in lessons and lots of fun. The coaches are excellent and explain the techniques really well. These are critical life skills so I would encourage every parent to equip their children with them.

Jen Ciarleglio

Our kids absolutely adore Unleashed! We've seen them respond so well to the easy to follow - with just the right amount of fun challenge - physical teaching. They also have flourished under the principles of respect for yourself and others that are taught along the way. For us as parents it gives us more confidence that, when faced with unavoidable conflict on the playground, or anywhere else, that they will respond - not rashly or helplessly - but appropriately.

Vangelis Sakelliou

Great course, amazing experience. I highly recommend it to everyone, age doesn't matter. I chose it and it helped me learning self defence skills, improve my confidence and it is a good exercise as well.
