Just what we needed after a reality check!! Great to find something we can do as a family and enjoy. The training is very good and very freindly.

Womens Self Defence
I started this class because I did not want to go to a gym, I was limited with regard to time as I work some evenings and Saturdays. I have been a single parent for the past 18 months with two teenage boys following my husbands mid life crisis. I wanted to do something for myself to start getting fit and to get a bit of confidence. I enjoy the classes. They are a great bunch of people of mixed ages and very very patient!

Highly recommended
It was the parent/child aspect that attracted me to Bromley CKD. With my son starting secondary school, I was keen for him to develop the self-confidence and control that comes with practicing a martial art. CKD has been perfect for him - and it's done me no harm either! I'd strongly recommend Bromley Self Defence to any parent.

Really practical
Great environment to learn and practical, accessible form of self -defence. Promotes really good levels of overall levels of physical health, in a setting that is enjoyable to learn in, but also serious about what it promotes and teaches

Fitness and confidence
I'm another parent who joined because her son wanted to. We have both gained so much. My son has been able to deal with a school bully with confidence and minimum aggression. I am so much fitter and for the first time in many years free of back pain. I also walk with confidence when out alone at night and no longer feel like an easy target. Would recommend this club to anyone of any age.

great environment for all ages
I joined the class a year ago to learn a new sport and recapture the discipline that I had lost. Choi Kwang Do has given me this plus lots more. I will definitely pursue this further and will enrol my chldren when they get older, a fabulous way to keep fit and instill confidence!

Great motivation for all ages
Like so many others, I joined after initially taking my youngest son along. Although I kept quite fit, my flexibility and stamina had suffered over the years. As I have attended the classes over the last year and a half the movements and exercises have been excellent and are very practical for my 'older' joints. Couple that with the practicality of this martial art in the real world, I would seriously recommend this to all of you that are fed up of sitting by the TV every night thinking about getting fit.

Great School
Originally I only meant my son to join but after watching his first lesson I wanted to join myself and now I am hooked. The Instructors are all very patient, helpful and approachable the other students are also all very friendly Learning Choi Kwang Do is not only a good way to keep you fit but it could save your life especially in the world we live in today!

Professional, Disciplined & Quality Instruction
Having done previous martial arts I was unsure of what to make of Choi Kwang Do - but even after my very first lesson I was hooked by the practicality of this art in today's society. It's not just a sport for show, every move flows and makes sense. The Instructor shares his 30 years of knowledge with us in a disciplined but enjoyable and respectful environment and I personally feel privileged to be training with one of the best.

Quality Training
I have tried severel Choi clubs in this area and by far the best in terms of quality of training, cost and the friendlyness of the instructors is Bromley Choi Kwang Do. I now attend this club regularly and learn new things all the time. I have also improved my technique grately

Look no further
If your are looking for a all rounded self defence/Martial Art or fitness programe, I can recommend Bromley Choi Kwang Do, do your research and your find out what I did. Its the most effective system available.

Martial arts
I have been training in Choi Kwang Do (CKD) for a few years, so I have had the privilege of training at UK seminars, and at other CKD schools through out Kent. The standard at Bromley CKD is very high, the techniques are perfect and instruction professional, living in Bromley all my life and training in Martial Arts I have also trained at other local traditional schools, some good, some bad, but again compared to the knowledge and instruction of the head Instructor at Bromley CKD, they just don't have the wealth of expertise in self defence. If you live in the Borough or Even in Kent its worth the journey to train with these guys.

Girls point of view
I believe every lady should learn some form of real street defence in the times we live in, and also it very important to keep the mind & body healthy, I looked at some traditional martial arts like Kung Fu, and Mauy Thia, thai boxing was very demading on the body, and very powerful, but we did not learn street defence, but it is a powerful martial art, I went to a few well known kung fu schools in the Bromley area, and we just all stood in straight lines waving our hands about, the strikes where not powerful and I really couldnt see what bits I could use in real self defence. So I lost my faith in martial arts, it seemed that winning belts or paying large amounts of cash for rubbish had taken hold in Bromley. Whats a girl suppose to do ? Then by chance I found Bromley choi kwang do, it was street defence from the word go, with powerful techniques that work, plus they show techniques how to escape from holds or if you were taken to the ground, and the value of real martial arts, its about personal development and not winning a plastic medal. Thats just my opinion, I would suggest do some research for whats best for you, but Bromley Choi kwang Do is the best . Oh and don't forget the eye candy.

The Power & The Story
I started CKD, after looking around at few martial arts, I done some research on the net, and was interested in learning more about CKD, from my fisrt lesson I could see how fluid the movements were, it's a brilliant form of exercise and defence for all ages.

Full family fitness
I join the club with my 3 boys in July. We all love it and I feel more confident that when by boys are older they will be able to look after themselves on the street. Recommend to all.

confidence
I looked around at several local schools, and when I hd my first lesson at Bromley CKD, I felt like I had been training there for years, all the students are friendly...what I feel I have benefited so far from CKD is confidence, self defence skills, healther. I just have so much more energy.

Self defence
If your looking for a great fitness programe and not to get a broken nose or bruises or brain damage then choi kwang do is for you, I done kickboxing for five years, and was always covered in bruises and had bad back pain... I dont suffer now with CKD.

The time of my life
I really enjoy the yoga based stretching to warm up, also the lesson is great for fitness, I love the new me, all thanks to Bromley CKD The instructors are all friendly and a special Thanks to Head coach Steve and Assistant Instructor Jon.

power & the story
I have trained in most sytems, and have fought full contact in Muay Thai, I believed it was not possible to kick harder until I met Steve at Bromley CKD. CKD has the most powerful kicks because they are designed for th street & not the ring.

Stress Relif
I did Thai Boxing many years ago but had to give it up due to back injury.I have done gym and other martial arts and i was introduced to CKD threw a friend and for some reason the way we train my back is much better in fact it hurts if i dont go.The last few years i have had mental stress with work and at home and thanks to Darren i feel so much better for my self and my family i wished i had found CKD sooner.This purely is a self defence for the streets and the confidence i have now i can enjoy myself without feeling fear when going out but awearness to avoid situations.

Give it a Go
I was originally looking for a class to keep up fitness and decided to give Choi Kwang Do a go. In honesty I wasn't sure how well I'd take to it - I had no previous martial arts experience and never imagined myself throwing a punch! However, I found the classes really friendly with men and women of all ages training and the lessons taken at a good pace. This is a great place to learn and I enjoy the classes for what they are and the practical aspect - we're taught techniques requiring minimum strength, effective for any woman needing to defend themselves in the streets.

Bromley CKD
I started at Bromley back in November, after only watching 5 mins of a class. My first class proved to be just what I wanted, good training using logical techniques that work and make sense. But my reason for going back the next time and joining up to Bromley CKD was the instructor, a down to earth guy who knows his stuff and who knows how to demonstrate and get across what he is teaching. I only go to the adult class which is a really friendly atmosphere with men, women, young and old (me being one of the old ones) but I always get there early and that's when you see the instructor's other talent and that is how works with the kids, good discipline and good fun.

Stronger
Since doing Choi kwang do, I have become mush stronger & fiiter, CKD is designed for well being a optimum health, this means your feel younger for longer, as Im over 50 this is great im also more flexable...choi kwang do is based on sound scientific proof not martial arts mystism but fact.

Self Defence
We train for many reasons, mine was to be able to protect my family, I looked for a self defence that would be good for me, I found choi kwang do, and now realise there is so much more to martial arts than just being able to protect yourself..

Bromley choi kwang do self defence
When looking for a self defence system, I done some research, and I was advised by a police officer to check out choi kwang do. It came highly recomended as a useful form of self defence.

Bromley Choi Kwang Do
I have been training in Choi Kwang Do for three years and have been taking my ten year old son. It has been a great experience and I have felt a real improvement to my physical fitness, despite having trained in sport all of my life. The ethos of self defence is developed off a foundation of good physical health but the punching and kicking is great fun to. All is controlled with contact to punch shields; nobody goes to class to get hurt. I believe that Choi makes me safer on the street.

Bromley Choi Kwang do
My over fitness has improved, I feel and look more healthy, Ive ditched the boring Gym, I have more confidence and I more aware. Friendly qualified Instrcutors, it surprised me with an Instrcutor being so powerful, fast and with a the knowledge they have how humble they all are. I think martial arts do have a bad reputation, but nowI see they are not all about 'hitting someone' rather than the oppisit.
