From tiny beginners to competing adults — every class is welcoming, structured and led by qualified instructors who genuinely care.
Fun, high-energy classes for ages 4–7 — building confidence, coordination and listening skills through games and movement.
Structured classes for ages 7+ where children develop real focus, discipline and a sense of achievement that carries into everyday life.
Traditional Taekwondo in a friendly, encouraging environment — learn real techniques, earn belts and grow in confidence at your own pace.
High-energy kickboxing for ages 8+ — brilliant for fitness, confidence and coordination, with or without any prior experience.
Welcoming, challenging classes for adults of all abilities — whether you've never trained before or just want to get back into it.
Strong training. A friendly place to start. Clear progression. Never an intimidating atmosphere.
Martial arts is one of the most effective tools for building self-belief. We see shy, quiet children blossom into confident young people — not just in class, but in school and everyday life.
Our belt grading system gives children a clear reason to keep coming back. There's always a next goal, a next achievement — and our coaches are brilliant at keeping kids motivated.
Our classes are firm, focused and fun — but never harsh or intimidating. Children are always encouraged, never pushed. We set high standards in the kindest way possible.
Almost every single person who trains with us started as a complete beginner. We make everyone feel genuinely welcome from day one — adults, children, teens, nervous parents, the lot.
All our coaches are fully qualified, DBS-checked and experienced working with children and adults of all abilities. You'll know your child is in safe, caring hands.
Vortex is a community. Many whole families train with us. You'll be made to feel at home from your very first visit — and the friendships made here tend to last.

“Andy is a great taekwondo coach. He's engaging and makes the lessons fun for the kids. There are tiered aged classes so they are age appropriate. My son has been going to classes for 3 years now and his skill and confidence have grown significantly under Andy's guidance. Would highly recommend.”

“My 2 sons have both worked their way through the 'Dragons' age group and are now 'Cadets'. We are delighted to see how they have grown in confidence, ability and self discipline. They now have leadership opportunities to 'coach' their younger peers and give back to others. A friendly and inclusive martial arts academy for all abilities.”

It's completely normal to feel nervous before trying something new. Here's exactly what will happen when you walk through the door.
Complete beginners are welcome at every single one of our classes. You don't need to know anything — we'll teach you everything from scratch and go at a pace that suits you.
Just wear comfortable clothes — jogging bottoms or a tracksuit works perfectly. We'll let you know what to get if you decide to join us properly.
When you arrive, one of our coaches will introduce themselves, explain what to expect and make sure you feel at ease before the class begins.
Every class is designed for the right age group and ability level. Your child won't be put into a class that's too advanced — and neither will you.
After your trial there's no hard sell. We'll chat about how it went, answer any questions and let you decide what you'd like to do next — completely at your own pace.
Your first class is completely free — no experience or kit needed. Just drop us an enquiry and we'll sort the rest. If you love it, we'll talk about joining. No pressure either way.
