Views from the parents of the younger members

Dan - father of Lauren, 6

"Both my daughter and I started training with Master Evans just over a year ago. Since starting, both my wife and I have seen a difference in Lauren. She has learned more discipline and also seems more confident. We both hope that our daughter carries on training into adult-hood and so builds up more self esteem and confidence as she grows.

Both I and my daughter have found the lessons enjoyable with a relaxed atmosphere but at the same time still learning discipline within martial arts. The lessons are very varied, ranging from competition style, street self defence to weapons training. You learn something new every lesson !

For me, another positive in training at Frontline is the fact that parents can train at the same time as their children - a bonus for me. Not many of the local martial arts schools allow parents and children to train at the same time."


Des - father of Connor, 10, & Lewis, 8

"As a parent, with regards to my boys in the school, I am very happy with the way things are run. It's a nice and relaxed atmosphere and not as regimented as our old school. I do believe in discipline but not for disciplines sake and I have come to believe that a martial art bogged down in traditional styles will not retain students and progress.

The style is much more practical (and I think more effective from a self defence point of view) than other forms of Taekwondo. Both the boys and myself are still unsure about the sparring differences, but that's probably because we struggle with that more.

Over-all, training is a well balanced blend of practical street style self-defence, traditional martial arts and combat sport."
