Always have so much fun every lesson and it’s a great friendly and welcoming environment. Was initially really anxious to start but Mr & Mrs Stead are brilliant instructors and Pheonix quickly becomes your family. Brilliant way to build confidence and gain useful self defence skills whilst getting fit and earning belts at the same time. Highly recommend 👏

My son has recently started at Phoenix Martial Arts Castlford after been recommend via two of his school friends parents who attend the class. My little boy is full of energy and struggles with his listening skills and can get distracted easily which then leads to him causing distraction to others. He attends a swim class that most of the time he was told off and sat on the side for not listening, so I was very reluctant to sign him up for anymore classes, but I'm glad I did. Since joining my little boy has thrived, he does the class and is not disruptive, is not told off for his behaviour and listens to what Mrs &Mr Stead tells him to do, and this has had an affect on his behaviour at home and even at his swim class where he is no longer disruptive in his lesson, no longer sat on side and is showing improvement on a weekly basis. I can't thank Mrs Stead enough for the support and help that she has provided and continues to provide to me and my son as she had confidence that he would do well in the classes and she was right.

My son has been with Phoenix Castleford since he was 5, he has grown in confidence from a shy little boy that wouldn’t speak to now a 9 year old blue belt that regularly competes in tournaments, sparring classes and now has chosen and signed up to the junior leadership course to progress. This is all down to Mr and Mrs Stead giving him the confidence to go further and to push himself. As a family we can’t thank you both enough. Anyone thinking of joining do it! You and you child/ren will not regret it. Our youngest son will also be joining when he’s old enough.

My little boy has been attending karate classes at Phoenix Castleford for nearly 6 months. I wanted these lessons to grow his confidence and teach him some self discipline and that is exactly what they have done. Mr & Mrs Stead made us feel welcome from the start…they are friendly, professional and so kind and caring with the kids. My little boy’s confidence has come on leaps and bounds and that was proven when he did his first grading when Mrs Stead said how proud she was of him and how confident he was when he did it. We are now proud members of the Phoenix family and community and would recommend them in a heartbeat for anyone of any age wanting to learn martial arts. Thank you so much Mr & Mrs Stead, you are amazing!

I have been attending the academy for about a year now. I have really enjoyed my time since joining and can only thank Mr & Mrs Stead for all their support. I have not always been the most confident individual but being a part of a community has really brought me out of my shell. Thankyou again to the Phoenix Castleford staff and all my fellow kickboxing students 😊

I've been attending the adult karate classes for about 3 months and it's always so much fun! Everyone is friendly and have been so welcoming. Mr and Mrs Stead are fantastic instructors. I did not expect to make as much progress as I have in these last 3 months and I could not imagine training anywhere else.

My daughter wanted to start kickboxing for health and self defence, but she has got so much more out of attending. Her confidence has grown, at first she would not stay alone and I stayed with her. Seeing this I was very impressed by the techniques used and the consideration given to all pupils. She now goes in alone and speaks to others in the class. She looks forward to grading and getting the chance of a new belt.
Overall a brilliant community and it's more than physical health that she has achieved 👏

My son has been attending Pheonix martial arts Castleford since May 2023. He had tried multiple other extra curricular activities such as rugby and dance but nothing would keep his interest very long. Right from the beginning Mr and Mrs Stead have always made him feel very welcome, part of the Pheonix family and have been very understanding of his additional needs. He has gone from strength to strength in his kickboxing and still runs into class with the same excitement he had on day one. So much so that he's also began going to Karate lessons too. I couldn't recommend Pheonix martial arts enough, the facilities and instructors are brilliant. My son finally has a hobby he enjoys and it has done wonders for his physical abilities, confidence and behaviour.

I've been training in kickboxing and muay Thai on and off since 2010 and this is by far the most welcoming school I have been to. Mr and Mrs Stead are a fabulous team and made us feel welcome and part of the Phoenix family from day one.
Initially signed up my son for kickboxing and joined myself as soon as my old-man knee healed. We both love the classes and look forward to it every week. Mr and Mrs Stead are highly skilled at adapting his instruction to all students' needs so you can learn at your own pace. Special shout out to Mrs Stead who motivated my son to go from "I can't do push ups" to smashing out 20 or more without pausing.

This club is fantastic! I have practised martial arts for about a decade now and seen a range of clubs - this one is one of the best for both beginners and experts alike. The teaching is solid and engaging. In addition the atmosphere is welcoming for all with a great community. I travel from Leeds 4 times a week to take part in both the kickboxing and the karate classes because I enjoy the club so much! I would highly recommend this club as a good place to try out a martial art or continue training if you already have experience!

I joined earlier this year by chance. I'd never really been interested in martial arts, though I wanted to know how to defend myself on the off chance I may need to one day. I've now got my first belt. I'm definitely fitter than I was, and I love going it helps me relieve stress and frustrations in a safe, disciplined environment. Mr Stead is a great tutor, and the music in class is banging.
