I bought my 10 year old daughter along to judo and decided to stay and take part myself. Was pleasently surprised how child and female friendly the club was and the cost was affordable. The main instructors made me feel so welcomed, that I will be trying my hand at kickboxing next week. Thank you Mrs Karen Clarke
