MF Carterton Martial Arts

Love the classes always motivating and fun - great to enjoy fitness again

Nice instructors and friendly people but everything costs to progress, kit, gradings, leadership, they are strongly profit lead

Avoid this McDojo if you want to learn any real techniques or an actual martial art.The teaching is poor, its not even teaching as nothing is explained so the kids run riot and learn nothing. They go from ridiculous task to pointless task without taking the time to make sure every student knows what to do. How can you with so many people. It's so bad, really bad actually.But you get to go along every few months and pay a fee for them to get a brand to new colour belt or even worse tags, which means another fee later on, clever right?The advanced" grades have awful technique so it's clear nothing changes even though the teacher looks as if he did a couple years learning real TKD or TSD.This is a money making machine

The classes are fun, hence the 2*, but after a while you start to notice that everything is an opportunity to make you pay more money, until the whole thing starts to feel like it's just for profit rather than martial arts.Gradings are expensive and people are tagged who clearly aren't able to do the curriculum, and although they tell you there is no pressure to grade, you are certainly made to feel like you cannot progress unless you pay more.At a certain level, you then need a sparring kit. You are only allowed to use their own branded kit which is £149.95. It's a shame they don't tell you this when you sign up, as otherwise you feel obliged to pay if you want to continue.So overall, fun lessons, some really nice people, but only sign up if you are prepared to continuously pay out more money to progress.

Great Instructors with a friendly atmosphere!

Great experience. Enjoyed the class

Fantastic family friendly fun classes. Best thing me and my family have ever did, joining these classes in Witney. Friendly instructors encourage the kids in a fun and engaging way. Fantastic! Can't wait for the new classes in Carterton
