Our Reviews
Rated 5 out of 5
My son has been going to Little Ninjas for the past year and has flourished under Sabrina’s tuition. He thoroughly enjoys the lessons and Sabrina is kind and patient with the children (as well as being extremely good at what she does). I would definitely recommend these classes.

Training session day is always the highlight of the week for me and both my children. I was initially nervous that three years old would be too young for lessons, but my younger son really loves the little ninjas class with Sabrina, who has been amazing at teaching him both foundations but also learning to be attentive and focused. I participate in the family session with my older six year old son, and we enjoy it just as much. I never thought it would be possible to train and progress together with my children but the family class is really well suited for all levels, adults or children, and again Sabrina provides great teaching of both the martial art as well as general discipline and focus. The perfect family activity all round!

I joined Sabrina's classes to improve my fitness and to support my son's development. We tried a couple of karate clubs in the local area and found Soo Bahk Do to be an engaging, traditional karate with a deep heritage. Sabrina's tuition is excellent for all ages and levels of experience. Highly recommended.

ABOUT SOO BAHK DO
Soo Bahk Do is a traditional Korean martial art with a history dating back many centuries. Developed into its modern form by Founder Hwang Kee, the art continues to be led by his son and current Grandmaster, H.C. Hwang. It combines traditional martial arts techniques with physical training, discipline and personal development.
Training includes kicks, strikes, blocks, forms and partner work, with an emphasis on developing strong technique alongside qualities such as discipline, respect, focus and perseverance. Soo Bahk Do is not primarily a competitive sport; instead, it places importance on continuous improvement and developing the whole person through martial arts training.
At Dojang X, students of different ages and abilities can experience this traditional martial art in a friendly, supportive training environment.
