I am so glad that we joined Verve for my son to learn karate. He started when he was 10 and has been going for over 2 years now and loves it so much, increasing classes from 1 a week, to 2 and now 3! Ash and the team of instructors make it fun to train, and it's been a great way for my son to keep active, get fitter and stronger, interact with different age ranges and gain confidence. The Verve team are all so supportive, helpful, encouraging and understanding. Words just aren't enough to praise them all. I love it and everything Verve stands for! 5 Stars and more!

My son (9) started training with Ash in Feb 2023 after a big move from Essex. I’m so glad we found Ash and his team and I cannot begin to express how grateful I am to them for helping Jacob to feel comfortable and relaxed. The first few weeks of getting used to a new club was tough for him but Ash was so supportive and understanding of his struggles and allowed him time and space to get used to his new surroundings. I’d also like to give a special thanks to Evie and Carmen for taking Jacob under their wing and encouraging him to get involved when he was shy. I’m really looking forward to seeing how far Jacob progresses at Verve and I’m confident that the team will give him all the help, support and encouragement he needs.

Ash and the team are brilliant, they are friendly, caring and supportive. They work hard with whoever joins giving their all to train them hard. Ash celebrates the success of every individual and gives every individual their moment to remember on their birthdays (all done in the most funnest of ways)

Me and my 5 year old have been training with Ash for a few months now and we are both loving it, Ash is a great teacher and I would recommend his classes to anyone, he's got loads of experience and knowledge to share and you can tell he really enjoys teaching martial arts.
Update- I’ve now been training with Ash at Verve Karate for 4 years, I’m now 2nd kyu (brown belt) and still loving it! My health has improved no end, Ive made some great friends and couldn’t recommend this club enough!

I could not recommend this club enough. Both myself and my son have been training here over the last year and we love it. So much so that my daughter has just joined and my youngest son is all set to join the new junior Astros class. Ash is a great instructor, very friendly and approachable and all the junior instructors do an amazing job, especially when working with the younger students.

Our son started with Verve as soon as he turned 5 and was able to. Verve was recommended to me & my son has now been there 2 1/2 months and is enjoying it. He looks forward to going each week. Ash has been great with his help, advice & support either in class or through messages. He's always quick to reply & happy to help. Both Ash & Will work well with the students & it is a friendly, supportive group

I joined Verve Karate in December 2022 as a 21 year old who had never done any kind of martial arts beforehand. After 4 months of training with this club, I can honestly say it’s one of the best things I’ve ever done. Everyone at verve treats you like family. Ash and his team are brilliant - you can tell how much teaching karate means to them! You will learn so much whilst having a lot of fun with the perfect mix of sparing, fitness and traditional karate classes. It is so good for your fitness, confidence, focus and your overall mental health. I would honestly recommend this club to anyone… I wish I had the confidence to start sooner than I did

Ash is a great instructor, patient friendly and very informative, he has a lot of time for his students. The club and all the members are friendly and always happy to help anyone that needs it, my son thoroughly enjoys the karate and gets a lot from it.
