"I've been training with Josh and Luke for around a year now and I honestly can’t speak highly enough of them or the classes. I genuinely look forward to going every week, and it’s become something I get excited about- to the point of happily getting up early to train. Since starting, I feel fitter, stronger, and a lot more confident in myself, both physically and mentally.

​

I can feel myself improving week by week, which keeps me motivated. Josh and Luke are great at giving advice and feedback, and they really take the time to focus on you individually. They help you work on exactly what you want to improve and always push you just enough to keep progressing.

​

They’ve helped push me out of my comfort zone, in the best possible way.
The atmosphere in the classes is great, the coaching is top-level, and the progress feels real. It’s rare to find something that challenges you, builds confidence, and is genuinely enjoyable at the same time, but these classes do exactly that. I’ve found something I love doing, and that makes a huge difference."

"Training Muay Thai here has been an amazing experience. It’s helped me build confidence, release stress, and feel more balanced both physically and mentally. The training is challenging but grounding, pushing you to improve without ego. Highly recommend for anyone looking to grow, train hard, and feel better overall."

"I recently started Muay Thai at Ascend as a complete beginner and couldn’t recommend it enough. Josh and Luke create a very welcoming, beginner-friendly environment and are incredibly encouraging, patient, and knowledgeable. I really appreciate the four-week structure they use for each new technique, as it gives you time to learn and improve without feeling rushed, and means you’re not lost if you miss a couple of sessions. As a female in a male-dominated sport, I felt completely comfortable and supported from day one. Ascend has such a positive, motivating atmosphere and has really helped build my confidence."

"Josh and Luke are amazing coaches with a lot of experience. They are highly skilled, attentive, kind, and they always make you feel comfortable. I didn’t know what to expect coming into Muay Thai, but from day one they’ve made my journey so much fun.

​

I’ve learnt so much over the past few months, grown in confidence and it’s amazing to see how far I’ve come. I wouldn’t have done it without their help. I’m looking forward to continuing this journey with their guidance.

 I highly recommend them. Best coaches ever!

Cee"
 

“Amazing instructors with real skill. They teach with passion and always make sure you understand each movement. My strength discipline and mindset have grown so much.”

"Learning Muay Thai with Josh and Luke at ascend martial arts has been genuinely life changing for me. I started aged 52 and have been training for about 18 months. 

I was overweight, lacking in confidence and I thought that getting fit was for other people, not me. Josh and Luke are incredibly patient; I believe they blend the physicality of martial arts with the mindfulness and overall approach to life that comes with it. 

Since starting, I have totally changed my body shape, my fitness, my flexibility and coordination. It has given me more confidence in my day to day life. I feel amazing after every class. 

I would recommend martial arts to anyone who wants to improve their life and take up a new discipline. You are never too old to learn"
