My daughter joined Simone Hopkins and sons in October 2021, her confidence has grown so much and the life skills the children are taught here are outstanding! The whole team are amazing, always happy and willing to take the time to help if needed. Would definitely recommend Simone and sons martial arts academy.

Simone and the team are absolutely fantastic and dedicated. When my son started he was very shy and had issues with his confidence but very quickly he started to thrive learning with this academy. My son has been training for coming up a year now - and isn't looking back - he adores training here, and his confidence already is just incredible! He loves the training with all staff, and feels super accomplished! He has also trained with adults in workshops which are well organised and engaging. As a mum I'm so proud of him but also extremely thankful to everyone at the academy for everything they do! Can't recommend Simone Hopkins and Sons enough :)

My son has been attending for about 2 years now. He absolutely loves it! He has progressed well and wants to push himself to do better. Is it more expensive than other activities, yes, but the price is very competitive, there are also deals for families and bundle prices on equipment etc. At the end of the day you get what you pay for and with Simone and her Son's martial arts classes you are guaranteed to get a quality, fun, tough, disciplined sessions!

An amazing dedicated team fully committed to the academy and it’s members. World class experts always happy to give advice and help. Myself and my daughter love training here with a choice of venues and times to suit and top class instructors! I would recommend Simone Hopkins & Sons Martial Arts Academy to anyone who wants to learn some important life skills, get fit and make some friends along the way!

My daughter started when just coming out of the second lockdown starting with online classes, she is now back in physical classes and she absolutely loves martial arts. She has just completed her first grading and was very proud, I think it's great that the academy caters for everyone in Cheltenham and Gloucester. I have experience and looked at other academies but they are not as cost affective, my daughter goes twice a week and we love seeing her enjoy and be proud of what she is doing. The team at the academy are very approachable and will help if you are having issues at home too. So glad a picked Simones academy 😁

My daughter joined the Academy a couple of weeks before the first lockdown [March 2020] & thanks to the dedication, passion to Simone & her amazing team she got us & her Academy through the last 15 months. My 11yr+ has thrived in these difficult times - found herself & has grown immeasurably. This is so much more than 'just' martial arts.. it is a community that builds strength & respect in the next generation. We know we are ready for senior school thanks to the confidence & resilience the role models Simone & her sons provide.. indebited to the Academy for all they have done - so proud of what they have helped my little one achieve & the path they have shown her. Thank you!

My daughter wanted to try martial arts, so I asked for recommendations locally and contacted a few instructors. Simone was quick to reply, with lots of help, advice and information. We signed up for a free trial and haven’t looked back. Emily has never been a fan of traditional PE or team games, but Martial Arts has been brilliant for her! She loved it from the first moment! She’s learning so many things; she’s growing in confidence; she’s becoming stronger and fitter and is loving working through her belts. There is just the right level of challenge to keep them motivated and plenty of variety during classes. It’s evident that Simone and her sons are passionate about their craft and want to share it with others. The academy has a lovely family feel and the members are very supportive towards each other. Thank you for helping my girl find a sport she can enjoy 😊

The best martial arts acadamies I've seen in a long time. I trained for 13 years as a child and couldn't wait for my boy to follow in my footsteps. Bobby joined around a month or two ago and absolutely loves it! Simone has made him (and me) fell so welcome and shes brilliant with him as she is with all the kids on the class. You can clearly see that her and her sons are very passionate about what they do and do everything they can to bring out the best in their students. Honestly, she has made me want to start it up again and if I could I would be apart of the academy in a heartbeat. Absolutely fantastic! Would recommend this academy to everybody!

Simone’s dedication to Her Martial Arts Academy is second to none. She works extremely hard to deliver an experience like no other. She is extremely professional & knowledgeable & interacts with kids of all ages & adults of all abilities. All of Simone & her team have the ability to bring out the best in the students from small milestones like getting that technique right to major ones like winning a world championship fight. If you are looking for dedication, discipline, focus , fitness & especially & great fun, friendly, family club then this is the Academy for you.

My daughter has been attending since November last year and all I can say is amazing. Under her instructor Jamie she has grown into a confident young girl who now offers other children her help in class. She is now not shy to interact with fellow students. This martial arts academy offers more the just skills for self defence, it offers life skills that help develop the children into respectful and helpful teenagers and beyond. The academy also reward children for achievements awarded outside of the academy as well which I believe shows that the academy cares about their students. I would recommend this academy to anybody wishing to start either fitness, self defence.

Absolutely amazing academy!! All instructors go above and beyond. My 3 boys love it! I joined last year and found my new addiction!! If you fancy something different or want the kids to learn good values this is the best place to go.

I cannot recommend this academy enough! I really only started to keep fit but I can honestly say it’s changed my whole outlook on fitness and made me have more faith in my ability. I am now going through my gradings, something I never thought I would do! I’ve met loads of lovely people and the whole ethos of the instructors and the academy is supportive but yet still pushing you to you limits. Simone and her sons should be very proud of all they have achieved!

S. S.

The team have given me so much confidence in such a short space of time! Amazing instructors and plenty of classes to choose from. Amazing!

D. H.

Both kids have a fantastic time during there sessions. Liv attends once a week and Josh twice plus sparring. Really professional and the team push them both to achieve there best. Great having mixed locations and the mix of instructors. Would highly recommend 👌

L. S.

My little boy goes to the Tiny Superheroes class and absolutely loves it. Simone and her team are fantastic! So much so I joined the ladies class. I haven't missed a single session since I joined the September bootcamp. Simone and sons and her team run a super academy!

I was looking for an outlet for my “spirited” child and this is the perfect place. Met with a warm welcome and lots of enthusiasm. A lovely inclusive club feel, many additional activities also often held so creates a real sense of belonging and community spirit. Is much more than teaching your kid how to kick and punch; Simone and sons are very passionate about instilling confidence, acceptance and beliefs in your own abilities.

All three of my boys joined Simone’s classes about six months ago. It has done wonders for their confidence, self esteem and fitness! It’s a pleasure to see my eldest get excited about something other than his computer screen. I couldn’t be prouder of how my boys are thriving here.

G. H.

Simone is amazimg with the kids and has so much time and patients with them. She has an amazing team helping her whether thats her sons or her A team members they are all dedicated and proffesional. My son has been going for 18 months and he has grown so much in confidence and enjoys it so much he now goes to 4sesions a week and always wants to do more. I can't recommend enough.

If you want something to motivate you, make you grow as an individual, Got some weight to lose, self esteem to grow or even meet new people... This will definitely be the class to attend for males females and children! I joined 16 months ago and haven’t looked back, it’s the best thing I’ve done I’ve been made to feel so welcome, It doesn’t matter what size you are what fitness level you are, you’re accepted for who you are and everyone works hard to achieve their goals! You will learn self defence, different kick boxing techniques , get fit and most of all you will enjoy it. I look forward to my journey I’m going to go on and what I will learn about myself in the process of developing through the stages!

E. V.

Amazing first class! Never tried anything like this before so was very nervous. Everyone made me feel so welcome and helped me along the way thru the whole class. Would definitely recommend this for fitness, confidence, self defence, companionship and to make new, fun friends. Go on, give it a go!

M. B.

I train every week with my son, very good work out and teaches kids about respect. Made it work over lockdown ensuring members could still learn and train.

N. A.

A fantastic martial arts club that myself and my children are proud to be part of. Amazing support, first class tuition, and a friendly atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Our son has been a member now for two years, Lovely academy with drive and a passion for what they do.

I started training here about 6 months ago and it is brilliant. I've never trained in martial arts before but all the instructors are brilliant, they all do a really great job of bringing out the best in you and pushing you to work hard. There are lots of opportunities to take your training further and to develop your potential, no matter what age you are, so you can really go as far with it as you want to! Highly recommend.

H. W.

I have been with Simone for 6 years. I have grown in confidence, ability and I enjoy the lessons. The lessons are fun and I learn how to protect myself. Thank you Team.
