    I've been training at Wirral Family Martial Arts for a while now and I can honestly say it's amazing, and I would truly recommend joining to anyone. Learning self-defence through FMA gives you valuable guidance to be a better person instilling principles such as courtesy, honesty, resilience, self-control, discipline, respect and commitment to something that's not only fun and engaging but helps you to get fitter and stronger all while making you feel part of a big family. Mr Moore is a great teacher and along with all the instructors is passionate about what he / they do and it clearly shows in their teaching. Thank you all Paul P.

    I feel this is a mixed review as the actual classes were great. My daughter loved it and I personally thought Mr Moore is a first class teacher who engages the kids brilliantly. That's the positive. The negative is the lack of transparency of costs in the initial sales pitch by Mr Moores young male assistant. We were NOT told about the additional costs of mandatory safety equipment until we had attended 4 classes. At this point there was a 3 month cancellation period (£150 worth). On the last class attended I was accused by Mr Moores young assistant, that I had wasted their time. That I wouldnt be entitled to a refund on he £50 insurance I'd paid for (that would last 12 months) even though we had only attended 4 or 5 classes and to make matters worse , requested not to attend again as the insurance would not be valid. I was confused as to where the £50 went. In summary , if they were more transparent with costs and less expensive, combined with employees given basic customer service lessons I would have given a positive review. Any potential joiners please ask for full details of future costs prior to signing up.

    My son, Freddie Jones absolutely loves his martial arts lessons. Mr.Moore is really good at engaging with the students, Freddie struggles with his concentration (ADHD) and it is dealt with very well. I'd thoroughly recommend it

    My son had really been struggling through lockdown etc and struggling with how he was dealing with his emotions. Since starting Family Martial Arts, I have noticed a huge change. He really enjoys going. Everyone that works there are so welcoming and nice. It’s so nice to see Harry feel comfortable in a placement like that. I would really recommend Family Martial Arts!!

    My daughter has been coming to FMA (Pensby) for around 8 months now and absolutely loves it! Master Rolls is a fantastic inspirational teacher who instils confidence, respect and discipline across the classes. Great, high energy, busy classes with beautiful teachings at the end of each class around really important subjects (honesty, respect, team work etc). If you're looking for a martial arts class, look no further. Highly recommended🤩

    I initially brought my son to the classes to learn self defence, as he was getting bullied at school. As the class times clashed with my own work out times I could no longer train myself, so I decided to join my son and take part in the classes. I really enjoy the sessions and am looking forward to doing my second grading in a few weeks.

    Went for a trail session and my son absolutely loved it and kept asking to go back, tried to contact them on multiple occasions to sort this out and haven't heard back. The teachers on the trail day were incredible.

    My son, Frankie, has been attending FMA for 10 months now. He started off with the Ninja Cubs programme and has recently joined the beginners programme. He absolutely loves every session with the excellent teaching of Master Rolls and Miss Bloxham. His focus and attention have improved massively, and these skills have also improved in school too since joining FMA. I cannot recommend it enough! Very well structured classes with lots of skills and fun!

    My son and daughter have been going to the Pensby sessions since they started over a year ago. The staff are brilliant, not only developing the kids martial arts in a fun and engaging way but every session is based on a life lesson and something to work on for the week/ month. Excellent sessions, staff and community. Would definitely recommend for kids and adults of all ages. Thanks

The teachers are brilliant with all the children amd really encourage them to try there hardest ans always praise and acknowledge the work the kids put in, we would definitely recommend to anyone whos looking to get there child started in martial arts.

    My 4 children absolutely love FMA! They have learned defence skills and are getting strong and and physically fit too. They have also been taught commitment, courage and perseverance. Master D is a great instructor

    Fantastic company, Charlie loves attending his lessons in Pensby. His focus and skills have developed so much in his short time at FMA 🥋 Big thank you to Master Rolls and Miss Bloxham

    The confidence it's brought on in my daughter Is fantastic. She's taken to it like a duck to water. The Communication off the team at Fma is brilliant they are so quick and helpful. And it's amazing you aren't tied to classes you can come whichever day is best for you and your child.

    Mr Moore and Louise are fantastic, patient and supportive of my son. He was extremely nervous starting something new but the instructors have gone above and beyond to make him feel comfortable!! Would recommend FMA to everyone!!

    Birkenhead branch - I go to the ladies kick-boxing classes and my two daughters started in beginners and are now in advanced classes. Mr Moore (the coach) is excellent, so engaging, funny and puts everyone at ease (kids and ladies). We started with the intention of trying a few branches out but as soon as we completed the trial at Birkenhead the kids loved it and insisted we stayed at this one and didn’t even want to look at the others and never wanted to leave. I would encourage everyone to at least try it out, you will enjoy it, become fitter and also learn self defence as a bonus.

    I signed onto the ladies only beginner kickboxing course, being a muslim female i take all precautions of being modest and ensure any classes i go to are ladies only, this is personally how i feel comfortable. Before even paying i had asked if the coach was female, and was told they are which was great, however i didn't ask if there will only be females there or not, i assumed it would be ladies only as this is what they are advertising. I paid for the 4 week course, upon attending the class itself was ladies only, however along with the if female coach there were also males, even at the end of the session the parents for the next session had arrived. After the session i then sent a message asking if i could have a partial refund as i just did not feel comfortable, and only asked for partial refund as I understand they have given me gloves and i have also attended one session. They replied back saying they cant give me any refund, and that they have no problem with me training in my hijab!!! From what I remember thats my own choice anyways, not theirs! No apology whatsoever of not being clear about this, and i have lost my money, very disappointing.

    I am so happy my son Zac has joined the FMA birkenhead family because he is excelling in so many ways, his confidence has grown massively and this weekend he earned his new belt, mr Moore and miss Farrell are fantastic with the children, their fun filled classes are the highlight of zac's week and I am so excited to see my son keep growing with FMA XXX

    We’ve been coming to FMA Wirral for over 10 years and my son loves it. Mr Moore is sooo enthusiastic and has learnt so much and it’s been a pleasure to watch him grow and develop his fitness, attitude and pride in his martial arts during that time. Highly recommended.

    My son has been attending FMA for the last month. He absolutely loves attending every session and the difference in his confidence has been amazing. Not only do they teach martial arts, they teach discipline and resilience. I would highly recommend anyone looking to attend.

  • 5/5 Lisa R. 1 year ago on Google
    My son Aiden really enjoys his classes with FMA. Mr Moore is an excellent teacher and has really bought Aiden out of his shell. Aiden had very little confidence to begin with and would stand at the back of his class - he now stands at the front.

  • 5/5 Sophie H. 2 years ago on Google
    My girls age 4 and 6 are loving this and getting so much out of it. Couldn't recommend FMA enough respect and discipline running through the core of their teachings. ❤️💪

  • 5/5 sarah s. 2 years ago on Google
    Having been unhappy at another club I was a bit nervous to sign my boys up here but I’m so glad I did. The classes are fun and well organised and the boys love having me involved. I enjoyed it so much I’m even trying the kickboxing!

    Lucas has been attending FMA for 12 months, in that short space of time, the positive changes it has made to his confidence is unbelievable. The instructors Mr Moore and Miss Sweeney are fantastic, they are all professional and most importantly so patient with the students. It’s a warm, welcoming and safe environment and I highly recommend it to anyone.
