Premier Kickboxing - South Harrow - (Near Harrow, UK)

5 /5 Amina Art Ansari: It was inspiring to have Durdana Ansari OBE, Honorary Captain, RN in support for the young group at Premier Kickboxing. Shes been an inspiration for our local communities for decades. She is the one who thrown me into class after my struggle from Cochlear Implants surgery a year ago. Understandably, with the recovering, I had confusion and needed a lot of patience to relearn sounds and moves all over again. In short, within 6 months I faced my fears and I can say these instructors are humanitarians as well as being extremely professional in making sure each individuals progress in all areas. Not to forget, it is a hygienic, clean and welcoming space reflecting their work. It is the ART and therapy in our moves, as well as being at home with all talented students from different walks of life. Who would have known in such a corner, we would connect on many levels and if a person like myself can move forward outside from special needs box than being stereotyped, imagine what an average child or adult can achieve? I am extremely lucky and at the end of the day it has changed my life. Looking forward to dance through experiences and belts. Carpe Diem!

5 /5 Diana A: Ive been a member of this group for a short time and I really enjoy attending all the classes, which is crucial for self-control and defense. And I participated in my first graduation, a dream moment that I realized today.

5 /5 Ros S: 3 years ago I came in here for a trial class on a whim..and Ive been *hooked* ever since! Training has really helped to boost my physical health, energy levels and confidence. The instructors are highly skilled at what they do. Dion, the head instructor, is absolutely brilliant and knowledgeable. He teaches with patience and understanding. Thanks to Dion and the Premier team whove really worked with me and encouraged me to keep pushing. I have massively improved my fitness and flexibility since I first started. I look forward to carrying on my journey here and climbing up the belt ranks. Highly recommend!

5 /5 Idjiwa Adjido: Once upon a time, a dad brought his 5 years old daughter to try kickboxing. She liked it, so they came back. Within few months, dad was signing up as well. Theyre still both at it, enjoying the learning and the fitness that come with the activity. I am Dad, and definitively recommending the setting for both adult and children. The professional and experienced instructors make each session challenging and rewarding. The family friendly atmosphere ensures that classes are fun and educational for kids while teaching perseverance, discipline, respect and kickboxing fundamentals. Having attended many sessions, and actually watching the teaching shared with the kids rather than my phone, its interesting to see how many of the kids grow in confidence, become less fidgeting, or improve their listening skills so important to learning in life or social skills in general. Im also grateful for the flexible schedule for both adults and kids which accommodate busy lifestyles and ensures we never miss out on training and can catch up appropriately. Lastly, like with many settings (Judo in my youth), the culture is usually set/enforced by the head instructor (Dion). I find that he has a great combination of technical skills, personal qualities and professional attributes to effectively teach, inspire and manage students. His ability to demonstrate and explain moves clearly and effectively as well as backing it up by an understanding of the techniques, strategies and rules is definitively something one should be looking for in an instructor. But his ability to create a positive and disciplined training environment, to work patiently with students of all levels and abilities, or to adhere and enforce standards in the club, all contribute to fostering a positive environment for all. As a result, all instructors will display the professionalism and teaching skills mirroring the above which allow consistency across classes. 2 years in, still a setting I am comfortable to have my daughter (and myself) evolve in and one I would definitively encourage you to give it a try to if youre thinking about it - youre probably a free trial away to becoming regular. :)
