Rising Crane

Have been attending classes at the Rising Crane for just over a year now after needing to mix up my workout routine & make it more interesting/enjoyable. Best decision I made. While the facilities aren't the most flash, the classes are challenging, fun, teaching you new skills, excellent stress release amongst many other things. It's also a really friendly down to earth environment, which you don't always get in group training classes. All of the sessions I have attended (mma, fighting fit, strength & conditioning) cater to all fitness levels & the instructors have great martial arts knowledge/expertise. If you are interested in learning a martial art & are feeling nervous about trying it out, you don't need to be here. Even more experienced fighters in classes are patient & willing to share their skills. Whats more if you are coming to the RC you are supporting one of Bedfords smaller local businesses instead of giving your money to a big corporate gym who don't really care about their customers. Highly recommend giving it a go!

My two daughters have been training at rising crane Bedford for just over four years. They still enjoy their classes and have gained so much in confidence. The progression they have made with the teaching and support of all the coaches has been amazing!I myself joined just over a year ago and have loved all the classes I have participated in. Rising crane isn't like any other gym it's like the rising crane family!

Welcome to Penarth David … I’m so pleased that you’re here & by chance I heard of your classes. And I’m so glad that I signed up for Tai Chi & Kung Fu classes - both really enjoyable & great for my fitness, joints & brain! Your teaching style is very clear & helpful - I feel I’m making good progress and will be signing up today for both classes in the New Year.

My two sons aged 5&10 are on their six week trial, we're coming to classes twice a week.Boys absolutely love it there!Excellent coaching crew, great environment and it is a great place to learn self-defence,self-discipline, build self-confidence and teamwork.Definitely going to sign the boys up full-time.I highly recommend this place for anyone!

My 6 yr old Son has recently started here at Rising Crane and I can honestly say, it’s the best choice we have made for him!!Not only does he love it ( I’ve never seen him get so excited over a sport before?)!!!!He is also learning life skills, self confidence , discipline and it’s done in a lovely controlled way!! The instructors/coaches are fantastic and very approachable!! Highly recommended them to all my friends I have spoke to!!Praise where praise is due!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I first became a member in 2001 after having my first child. My husband had joined the previous year and encouraged my sister and I to join and so we did and we loved it.Both of my children have trained at the school and really enjoyed the junior syllabus and then went on to do the adult classes when they were old enough.A great family club where there is something for every one with lots of classes to choose from.I now practice ti chi 3 or 4 times a week and I also enjoy the fighting fit classes.This is the place to go to relieve stress, improve your well being and make new friends.

A great place to learn many different styles of martial art. All the instructors here are highly skilled and very friendly you learn at your own pace with no pressure at all. For the mma sessions sparring is a core part of very lesson and once the techniques have been taught these can then be tried out, refined and honed. Rising Crane is an excellent place to learn with great facilities.

My 7-years-old son Louis has been going to the Rinsing Crane for about a year now. He absolutely loves his MMA courses. He has made a lot of progress and gained a lot of confidence. The coaches are fantastic. If your child wants to start martial arts the Rising Crane is an amazing place. I can't recommend it enough

As an older mum trying to get back to some kind of fitness, I was a little nervous about attending a brand new venue and class. I didn't need to worry, as felt a warm welcome as soon as I got there. Claire was wonderful and really made me feel at ease. I did my trial sessions (which I highly recommend as you can really get a feel for the classes) and have now signed up! I'm loving the Fighting Fit class, all the instructors and staff are friendly and helpful and I look forward to getting fitter.

Great gym. Deep understanding on several Martial arts. All trainers are very skilled and experienced always willing to help and to share their knowledge with you. Atmosphere during trainings is good and safe for everyone. Training since one year ago here and planning to keep doing it so for as long as I can.
