Martial Arts

I'd give it 10 if I could! If you're reading negative comments about their staff, please ignore. These were written by people who are more fit to go for an afternoon tea with their auntie rather than consistent, hard work. LFF is changing my life in so many ways! All instructors, and I do Muay Thai and BJJ, are professional. Everyone is treated with respect and respect for the space is expected too (e.g. no shoes on the mats) but that's a no brainer.. would you keep your shoes on at home? If you want to improve your fitness and / or get into MA for real, there is not better place really as you not only need to push yourself down the road, you need someone to push you too and this is why you will be expected to follow the instructions and give it 100%, but that's the beauty of it. I can ensure you you will leave every class with a HUGE smile on your face. And you will start clearing your calendar to fit in more classes. OSSS X

Nice place to learn martial arts and ki meditation.

Excellent Martial arts school. A great place to learn Traditional Shotokan Martial arts in a warm & friendly atmosphere for everyone, from beginners to experienced Karate exponents.

Martial Arts is not just about physical fitness, being clever and efficient, it's also about a way of life. If you desire to combine your life energy with real physical skills, then Hapkido is definitely for you. I have been practicing for 3 years now - relax, focus, move like wind and you can conquer whatever is ahead of you - it may or may not lead you to the highest level of spirituality and fitness, it depends on how much effort you put in. The general (don't want to generalise) rule of thumb is 10000 hours, so prepare to spend that much time from white to red before entering the realm of black belts, where you have to go from white again. I have not started exercising until I was in my early 30s, people learn dancing in their 70s and if you watched the Paralympics, you know there is nothing one can't overcome. :) A taster class with Master Tammy Parlour may better your life - first start by seeing what she teaches about meditation (ki) and the physical / practical skills to deal with various situations. There are many martial arts classes in London, not easy to find one this central and accessible in Zone 1 and held at office friendly hours, Chang's Hapkido Academy is not simply a martial arts school - it is also a life school no matter what your story is :)

Bob is an amazing coach with bucket-loads of wisdom, experience and knowledge. I trained for a few months here and am absolutely gutted that I can't make the sessions anymore due to working location..... Rosh, Carl and Paul are all excellent, carefully selected coaches who add their own flavour to the academy too. Bob's nuggets of wisdom ring in my head all the time.... Combat expert for every level/art

Great class and great teacher, Mr Gary 10th dan

This is a first class spot. Many of the students, both young and adults, display very impressive levels of dedication and self control. It is a fantastic venue for children to learn taekwondo.

One of the many martial arts I've done that really stuck and resonated well with me. It's about finding the movement for yourself, having fun and it'll benefit you not only in class but certain things carry through and are useful in everyday life. Everyone is friendly and social. I'd highly recommend trying it!

Excellent training facilities with professional staff

The most amazing Teachers, Father and Son. And the entire academy's philosophy. Insha Allah I will Re-Start my trainings very soon. AMEEN.

Always improving in facilities, customer service and classes! Love this place!
