The kids and I joined Shirudo Martial arts in late 2019. A very well equipped dojo - great place to learn and train. A very supportive team, fun and experienced. Plenty of variety too

An extremely professional yet friendly environment. Everyone, from the people who come to train, to the trainers are so warm-hearted and encouraging. Shirudo never fails to accommodate for all levels. Fighters and beginners training side-by-side is only one of the many advantages of this gym. Getting pushed to your limit is an amazing experience and is even better when amongst such encouraging people. Feels really good to be back.

Martial Arts is a highly effective and enjoyable way to improve and strengthen oneself both physically and mentally.
Since joining Shirudo, I have done just this and more! Shirudo has helped me develop a new passion for Martial Arts. It has given me a sense of purpose on my road to personal enlightenment and development.
The trainers are very knowledgeable and friendly. My fellow students are mature and willing to learn more! This gym is one of a kind!

Shirudo has had a massive impact on my life. It has helped me to become a happier person. I enjoy working with all my peers and the instructors are truly great. I have been at Shirudo for almost a year now and I would like to say I’m so thankful that I found them as I believe they are the martial arts school. I highly recommend Shirudo to both kids and adults.

I have been to multiple gyms in the area, this has been my favourite one by far. At other martial arts gyms I have trained at, I felt intimidated by going into the gym, thinking it would be male based training and that I may feel uncomfortable being a young woman but as soon as I stepped foot into Shirudo, I felt welcomed and looked after. They are all about empowering women and making us feel strong and able to do anything!
Their timetable has such a variety of classes, the gym itself is really well set up and the trainers are friendly and really knowledgable. Ive been training for about a year

This Dojo is everything we we wanted for our children in a martial arts gym. Truley amazing coach’s and senseis who not only teach this unique amazing form of mixed martial arts, but clearly have a passion for the art. Our kids are developing life long skills and techniques that they can utilise in all aspects of their lives. From self defence to tolerance and confidence, Shirudo has proven to be an amazing foundation to build great habits and virtues from.
The class availability and options makes it easy to fit into life’s crazy routine and, the best part, parents can either join the shirudo
