Great learning environment, friendly staff

Great learning environment, safe and with a good community vibe. Sensei Olgun goes out of his way to make sure students are happy and took the time to talk through the training options. Now a regular attendee! Enjoyed my session yesterday and learning lots every week

Shuhari Dojo Maidenhead Self Defence classes

My daughter has been attending the Shuhari Dojo in Maidenhead for nearly 3 years after having a taster session at school. She loves going and the family friendly classes have really helped her confidence and balance. The instructors have always been kind and motivating inspiring her to be her best self and learning important life skills along the way.

First intro to MMA

The first moment me and my son walked into the Shuhari Jitsu dojo we were instantly made to feel welcome. Excellent child to adult ratio. Mutual respect, discipline and fun central tenants of all the Dojo’s. It’s been just over a year and a half now and I’ve not looked back since.

From day 1 we were looking for our son to gain confidence and to defend himself.

What we have seen are dedicated instructors who give full support to achieve his aim.

Our son thoroughly enjoys his weekly session and looks forward to his next lesson.

We have seen our son grow in his confidence and believing in himself.

Would recommend this discipline to anyone, as its also enjoyable.

A real confidence booster

I started training at Shuhari's Bracknell dojo just over a year ago when my confidence was at an all-time low.

Having struggled with social anxiety for many years, I had reached a point where I was almost too frightened to step out of the front door.

Having the chance to work with the instructors - who are not only brilliant at what they do but also very patient - has given my self-confidence a huge boost.

In a short space of time I've learned several basic self defence techniques and I'm continuing to learn each week.

As well as confidence, the classes are great for fitness and give you a chance to meet some great people along the way.

Everyone pushes each other with a competitive spirit but they're a super friendly bunch who are also incredibly supportive.

Can't recommend enough!

An amazing self defence school

I have joined Shuhari at the age of 9 and now being a 21 year old, I can honestly say I have learnt so much about martial-arts and more importantly it has shaped me as a person. Shuhari self defence school has not only taught me the beauty of martial-arts and self defence but also taught me key skills such as etiquette and how to deal with things under pressure. I truly believe I have learnt so much from Shuhari, things I didn't even know I could apply to life in general such as determination, motivation and pushing myself past my limits. My respect for my Senseis, Senpais, assistant instructors and fellow students will always continue to grow as I see each individual grow each time I see them. One thing I truly love about coming back to the dojo is that the smiles and the friendships never change and everyone pushes each other to achieve their best.
