Southern Lion Martial Arts

Great club. Good work out, traditional style and values. Good group of people too.

I began going to this class to improve my fitness and overall health. I was nervous that I'd be slow to learn the techniques, annoying my instructor and fellow classmates, especially because I'm quite shy and apprehensive in new situations. It was a silly preconception; Sir is kind and very patient, often going through techniques again and again to better provide a visual for me and to make sure, if not quickly, that I'm doing it right, at least. The class is extremely fun and everyone who comes to training, where they can, are good-natured and welcoming. I even managed to bring a friend along to a class and she goes now too, (hi Gabby). At the end of the session you feel rejuvenated and lively, often feeling the affects of hard work the following days, which means you know you've done good exercise.
I now continue to go because it's a fun, enjoyable experience that has allowed me to make new friends and better myself. I'd encourage you to come along if you're at all considering it. We're a friendly little group and, of course, the more the merrier ^-^

Amazing! Sir makes sure to keep you motivated and makes it a hardworking yet pleasant environment to work in. Also the perfect thing to do, to release stress in a positive way and learn something beautiful at the same time ????

I am very fortunate to have learnt of Southern Lion from a friend who also attends the class. It challenges you in many ways physically and mentally and I highly recommend it to people who are interested in practising martial arts, striving to improve their fitness or learn vital defence skills. Master Maynard is an excellent teacher who will push you to excel as well as fully supporting you in practising and perfecting techniques, no matter what level of ability you are. Highlight of my week - I always look forward to going.

The class fantastic and not only tests your physical strength and endurance but your mental strength and control. Master Maynard manages to bring out the best in all the students he has and always finds a way to push us further. I cannot recommend this class enough whether you want to learn self-defence, keep fit or just try something new, it's absolutely amazing.
