What our happy students in Addlestone 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.

Highly recommended defence class. My son 6yr old enjoys going and training with Farhaj and his lovely team. He slowly builds up his confidence and coordination among with other skills. Thank you.

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 :)

Lauren Marks

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!

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.

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.

Scott S

The classes are brilliant and all the people are so friendly and helpful, they have not only helped me with self defence but have also built my self confidence and helped so much with my mental health. I have learned so much already and have only been going since February. I would highly recommend this to everyone. You learn so many great self defence things and also keep yourself really fit. If you haven’t already you have to give it a go it’s so much fun.

Waleed Shah

Had the opportunity to train with Tahir and the crew during my recent visit to UK. The session was incredibly practical, engaging, and full of valuable self-defence techniques that anyone can apply in real life. The team’s professionalism and friendly approach made the experience both enjoyable and empowering. Highly recommend their training to anyone looking to build confidence and learn effective self-defence skills

Marcia Silva

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.

Our sessions offer additional benefits beyond self-defence techniques. They are a great way to exercise, improve fitness, flexibility, and stamina, and even contribute to weight loss goals.
