Fantastic to learn that Miss Billingham has remembered her Ninja Ranger Stranger Awareness training following getting lost for a short while at a National trust place earlier in the week.
Miss Billingham went into the cafe and told them her mum’s mobile phone number that she remembers from when she had learnt it at Ninja Rangers about 2 1/2 years ago!!
... Well done Miss Billingham - remaining calm and using your skills to find your parents gets a big thumbs up 👍🏻 from us!!

Master J's nunchucks seminar will take place a week from now so make sure you book your tickets asap! - Although students often think instructors don't make mistakes, this is far from the truth! We are all human and make mistakes all the time! - Feel free to laugh (but not too much) at Master J's blooper reel. Hopefully he'll be better than this by next week 😂🤣🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

When I first started I was scared as I got higher in belt

Colures it got harder but that is why I love it like kickboxing sparring is hard to some people tho with the help I can do it in still afraid I try not to show it sometimes i just can't help it I love that every other week on a Tuesday and Thursday I feel proud of myself I say yes I did it but I could do it with out Mrs Bryden Mr Bryden these too have help me the most at the moment Master J ,Master B Mrs B and Mr B . Thank you �

We are so pleased with the progress our son has made since joining MAW earlier this year - a boy who's naturally shy and softly spoken, his confidence has increased immensely and he’s now able to make his voice heard rather than being overpowered by others. The classes are well structured with the team of instructors putting in so much energy and enthusiasm … as well as a bit of humour to make them fun! Not only do the students learn important self-defence techniques, each module includes valuable life skills such as discipline, respect and stranger danger. Our son received his fourth belt today and at the Graduation Celebration he performed a solo demo of one of the routines in front of over 100 instructors, students and parents, as well as Master Bonthuys himself … if I’d been told he’d be doing that 3 months ago, I’d never have believed it! We couldn’t be prouder parents right now, and it’s credit to Mrs Bryden and her team for all the support and motivation they’ve given him.

Today me and my daughter Jessica did our first grading and we loved it! Since joining Martial arts world we have both gained more confidence, strength and become fitter. Looking forward to our future and aiming to become black belts one day:)

This place will blow your mind! State of the art dojang, with top coaches! You are number one priority at Martial Art World and your journey is important to them. If you want to train in the Andover area, then this is the place for you and your family :-)

This is just the best martial art academy in the whole world in my opinion. I wouldnt be where I am today if I hadn't joined nearly four years ago. I would highly recommend it to everyone, by Edward Bailey age 12

Really loving training at Martial World! I've spent years training in Karate (which I love!) and I've recently joined Martial Art World to be able to train in Andover (where I work). The team at Martial Art World have made me feel so welcome and I'm learning lots of new skills. Most importantly, Martial Art World has a very respectful yet very friendly ethos, and I feel lucky to have chanced upon such a great team of Instructors and fellow students. Many thanks.

Our three daughters aged 7, 10 and 12 have been training for the past 6 months. When our 7 year old started, she would get a little teary and wouldn't want to go. With encouragement and support from the Ninja Ranger instructors that quickly changed to loving every second of every session. Our elder two, along with my husband are in the Leadership programme. All of them are thriving!! Each have grown with self belief and their confidence is amazing.

My little man has only been going a couple month now and he absolutely loves it. I'd give both the venue and the instructors 5 star rating.

My daughter just participated in her first leadership programme class. We have come back to training at Martial Art World after moving to Wiltshire as there is no better training facility in the region. I feel confident she will earn her dual black belts with the help and support of the professional, dedicated and friendly team at Martial Art World. She is so excited about it. I can't wait to watch her journey.

Martial Art World is a place where professionalism and friendship go hand in hand in a way that leaves you feeling both safe and appreciated. The instructors are experts in their field but teach with humility and patience. They treat each student as an individual with great potential that just needs to be realised and yet they also foster a strong sense of community. They also have a very principled approach to teaching martial arts and encourage their students to be leaders of positive influence in the community. They are brilliant with children, helping them to consider how the discipline and respect that martial arts are based on must be applied in every other area of their lives including their school work or the way they behave at home. The purpose built facilities are excellent and the staff's commitment to keeping everyone safe and ensuring they enjoy their time at Martial Art World is obvious from the very beginning. Although we train in large groups, the instructors manage to give personal attention to each student, encouraging them and helping them to become the best martial artist they can be as individuals. They also encourage families to train together and my wife and I have really enjoyed doing something fun and challenging together. I highly recommend Martial Arts World to anyone considering taking up martial arts or looking for a fun way to stay fit!

Martial Art World has benefited my son and myself greatly, not only in the knowledge of the arts, but also in our day to day living, with self confidence and self awareness! The instructors are helpful and friendly and are always willing to help, a good family feel here !

Love coming to maw and so do four of my children I would highly recommend such a great place and run by fantastic people

I'm a 43 year old over weight diabetic. Now ex-smoker thanks to Martial Arts World I quit a 60 a day smoking habit of 33 years after only 1 lesson in October. Now I am a going for my first grading a lot fitter thanks to the awesome teaching staff and other students support and encouragement I have 2 children also training here and they are loving it. Thanks Mr Pike

I started training with Master Bonthuys in 2004 and I haven’t stopped growing ever since. In less than a year I started taking on new challenges I would never have considered possible. I used the principles of personal development embedded in the Martial Arts World ethos and applied them not only to my Martial Arts but also to many other aspects of my life.



As a direct result I took on my biggest challenge to date and signed up for a History and Religious Studies degree with The Open University. I am now in my sixth and final year. It has been tough, and at times I have been ready to throw in the towel and walk away, but I am a Black Belt and I know it means more than how I punch and kick, it’s about integrity, perseverance and indomitable spirit.



Today at the age of 45 having left school 30 years ago with not much to show for it other than bad attitude, I have submitted my application for teacher training. I owe my thanks and gratitude to Master Bonthuys and his team at Martial Arts World for helping make that possible.



There are those in life who ‘can’ and those in life who ‘do’; if you want to ‘do’ then there is no better place to start than with Master Bonthuys and his family at Martial Arts World.



The smallest things can make the biggest changes to your life.

I cannot believe just how much fun I have at MAW. It is immensely satisfying to be melting in sweat with a big fat smile on your face knowing you've done your best, and there's more to come!!

Brilliant. If you think you're having a good day, come here and train like mad and your day just gets better.

Great we can do something as a family, learn a new skill, get fit and feel positive. We all enjoy training, it is hard focused and inspiring. We fitted straight in as if we had been there for years and the fellow students are all on the same page and also friendly and helpful. The whole leadership team are with you every step of the way and actually care about my kids and not just me, so comforting to get this. We are now on a journey towards our black belts something to be proud of.

Fantastic facilities, the staff are amazing, doesn't matter what age, size, ability, everyone is welcome and you never once feel out of place. Highly recommend! 😀 I have just signed up to my leadership course after 2 months of Positive Start and I cannot wait to achieve my black belt.

Ben and I love the classes. Very well taught and we can really see the foundation blocks going in by attending the positive start class. Who knows where we might end up? The best classes I have ever attended in terms of learning martial arts for new starters.

Been training now for over 2 years with my wife both in our late fifties and enjoy every session. Friendly helpful staff and great fun. Saturday just got out green belt blue tag so on our way to black belts now. We travel every week from the Isle of Wight just to train here. Recommend to all our friends

I used the principles of personal development embedded in the Martial Arts World ethos and applied them not only to my Martial Arts but also to many other aspects of my life.



As a direct result I took on my biggest challenge to date and signed up for a History and Religious Studies degree with The Open University. I am now in my sixth and final year. It has been tough, and at times I have been ready to throw in the towel and walk away, but I am a Black Belt and I know it means more than how I punch and kick, it’s about integrity, perseverance and indomitable spirit.



Today at the age of 45 having left school 30 years ago with not much to show for it other than bad attitude, I have submitted my application for teacher training. I owe my thanks and gratitude to Master Bonthuys and his team at Martial Arts World for helping make that possible.



There are those in life who ‘can’ and those in life who ‘do’; if you want to ‘do’ then there is no better place to start than with Master Bonthuys and his family at Martial Arts World.



The smallest things can make the biggest changes to your life.

I cannot believe just how much fun I have at MAW. It is immensely satisfying to be melting in sweat with a big fat smile on your face knowing you've done your best, and there's more to come!!

Brilliant. If you think you're having a good day, come here and train like mad and your day just gets better.

Great we can do something as a family, learn a new skill, get fit and feel positive. We all enjoy training, it is hard focused and inspiring. We fitted straight in as if we had been there for years and the fellow students are all on the same page and also friendly and helpful. The whole leadership team are with you every step of the way and actually care about my kids and not just me, so comforting to get this. We are now on a journey towards our black belts something to be proud of.

Fantastic facilities, the staff are amazing, doesn't matter what age, size, ability, everyone is welcome and you never once feel out of place. Highly recommend! 😀 I have just signed up to my leadership course after 2 months of Positive Start and I cannot wait to achieve my black belt.

Ben and I love the classes. Very well taught and we can really see the foundation blocks going in by attending the positive start class. Who knows where we might end up? The best classes I have ever attended in terms of learning martial arts for new starters.

Been training now for over 2 years with my wife both in our late fifties and enjoy every session. Friendly helpful staff and great fun. Saturday just got out green belt blue tag so on our way to black belts now. We travel every week from the Isle of Wight just to train here. Recommend to all our friends

When I first started I was scared as I got higher in belt

Colures it got harder but that is why I love it like kickboxing sparring is hard to some people tho with the help I can do it in still afraid I try not to show it sometimes i just can't help it I love that every other week on a Tuesday and Thursday I feel proud of myself I say yes I did it but I could do it with out Mrs Bryden Mr Bryden these too have help me the most at the moment Master J ,Master B Mrs B and Mr B . Thank you �

We are so pleased with the progress our son has made since joining MAW earlier this year - a boy who's naturally shy and softly spoken, his confidence has increased immensely and he’s now able to make his voice heard rather than being overpowered by others. The classes are well structured with the team of instructors putting in so much energy and enthusiasm … as well as a bit of humour to make them fun! Not only do the students learn important self-defence techniques, each module includes valuable life skills such as discipline, respect and stranger danger. Our son received his fourth belt today and at the Graduation Celebration he performed a solo demo of one of the routines in front of over 100 instructors, students and parents, as well as Master Bonthuys himself … if I’d been told he’d be doing that 3 months ago, I’d never have believed it! We couldn’t be prouder parents right now, and it’s credit to Mrs Bryden and her team for all the support and motivation they’ve given him.

Today me and my daughter Jessica did our first grading and we loved it! Since joining Martial arts world we have both gained more confidence, strength and become fitter. Looking forward to our future and aiming to become black belts one day:)

This place will blow your mind! State of the art dojang, with top coaches! You are number one priority at Martial Art World and your journey is important to them. If you want to train in the Andover area, then this is the place for you and your family :-)

This is just the best martial art academy in the whole world in my opinion. I wouldnt be where I am today if I hadn't joined nearly four years ago. I would highly recommend it to everyone, by Edward Bailey age 12

Really loving training at Martial World! I've spent years training in Karate (which I love!) and I've recently joined Martial Art World to be able to train in Andover (where I work). The team at Martial Art World have made me feel so welcome and I'm learning lots of new skills. Most importantly, Martial Art World has a very respectful yet very friendly ethos, and I feel lucky to have chanced upon such a great team of Instructors and fellow students. Many thanks.

Our three daughters aged 7, 10 and 12 have been training for the past 6 months. When our 7 year old started, she would get a little teary and wouldn't want to go. With encouragement and support from the Ninja Ranger instructors that quickly changed to loving every second of every session. Our elder two, along with my husband are in the Leadership programme. All of them are thriving!! Each have grown with self belief and their confidence is amazing.

My little man has only been going a couple month now and he absolutely loves it. I'd give both the venue and the instructors 5 star rating.

My daughter just participated in her first leadership programme class. We have come back to training at Martial Art World after moving to Wiltshire as there is no better training facility in the region. I feel confident she will earn her dual black belts with the help and support of the professional, dedicated and friendly team at Martial Art World. She is so excited about it. I can't wait to watch her journey.

Martial Art World is a place where professionalism and friendship go hand in hand in a way that leaves you feeling both safe and appreciated. The instructors are experts in their field but teach with humility and patience. They treat each student as an individual with great potential that just needs to be realised and yet they also foster a strong sense of community. They also have a very principled approach to teaching martial arts and encourage their students to be leaders of positive influence in the community. They are brilliant with children, helping them to consider how the discipline and respect that martial arts are based on must be applied in every other area of their lives including their school work or the way they behave at home. The purpose built facilities are excellent and the staff's commitment to keeping everyone safe and ensuring they enjoy their time at Martial Art World is obvious from the very beginning. Although we train in large groups, the instructors manage to give personal attention to each student, encouraging them and helping them to become the best martial artist they can be as individuals. They also encourage families to train together and my wife and I have really enjoyed doing something fun and challenging together. I highly recommend Martial Arts World to anyone considering taking up martial arts or looking for a fun way to stay fit!

Martial Art World has benefited my son and myself greatly, not only in the knowledge of the arts, but also in our day to day living, with self confidence and self awareness! The instructors are helpful and friendly and are always willing to help, a good family feel here !

Love coming to maw and so do four of my children I would highly recommend such a great place and run by fantastic people

I'm a 43 year old over weight diabetic. Now ex-smoker thanks to Martial Arts World I quit a 60 a day smoking habit of 33 years after only 1 lesson in October. Now I am a going for my first grading a lot fitter thanks to the awesome teaching staff and other students support and encouragement I have 2 children also training here and they are loving it.
