Testimonials

Great instructors and a friendly, welcoming environment. It’s a fun but challenging way to learn martial arts and a great way to improve fitness.

Really friendly club that offers classes in Escrima and Kickboxing (that mixes Kali and Thai boxing techniques). You can progress at your own rate, and if it takes your fancy you can start sparring and even competing.

If you want to learn a unique martial arts system in a really welcoming environment with instructors that really know their stuff, then this is the place for you!

Excellent group, relaxed, friendly and welcoming, with highly skilled and approachable teachers.

Great inclusive club for people of all skill levels, with a friendly welcoming atmosphere

I would definitely recommend this club to anyone interested or experienced in kickboxing/FMA. I joined soon after moving to Bristol and it’s a friendly club with no macho bullsh*t! The head coaches Mark and Simon are clearly passionate about teaching and have a huge amount of experience to share. There is an emphasis on learning proper technique but with skills put into practice and not just endlessly drilled in a line.

This was my first time training a combat sport so safe to say I was a total beginner… the coaches made me feel so welcome, lending me kit for the first few sessions and making sure I had a partner to learn the basics with! Super friendly & inclusive club, all the members are lovely. They explain things very well and I really enjoyed seeing my progress thanks to them!

Simon and the team are friendly and enthusiastic! For anyone looking to join the club, Masters Academy is one of the best in Bristol!

The club is fantastic, super welcoming for beginners, great workouts, can be challenging . Also has great progression with belts and gradings

I joined this club two months ago and have loved it ever since. Both my co-ordination and balance have already improved. Simon and Lewis are very welcoming and patience with new starters making you feel at ease from the get go. My friends have since joined and I would highly recommend to anyone considering it.

Extremely welcoming and full of friendly people. There’s a nice mix of abilities, ages and genders in the classes so you can learn from the people around you whilst not being in an intimidating environment. All the instructors are great, really helpful and informative. Very reasonably priced too. Been training here for nearly a year and always look forward to the next class each week!
