If you’re looking to get fit while learning martial arts at your own pace while being guided by the best instructors I’ve ever met. Shire martial arts is the place ! They make everyone feel comfortable and part of the team from the moment you step in the door.

When my 5 year old daughter confidently expressed her desire to "fight" and "save the world", I started googling for martial arts venues. It made perfect sense to me to call SMA (the reviews were impeccable) and after a conversation with Gary, she started her training under his guidance. I am short of words to describe how gratifying this experience has been so far. Gary Simmons is not just an instructor. He is an inspiration. I particularly like his immense wit and unwavering professionalism/ethic. This is the place to be.

My children have attended Shire Martial Arts for 3 years. Not one day have my children asked not to go. They love Gary and the team, they look forward to going every week. In fact they want to stay back and watch the more experienced black belts at the end of their class. We love how Gary teaches our kids to deal with "bullies"....our kids also have so much more confidence in dealing with people generally. Both our children are so much fitter, my son who has a Sensory Processing Disorder is now calmer and happier. 3 years ago the slightest touch from his sister would send him into meltdown. Now he's sparring! Thankyou Gary and your wonderful team for being so kind and patient with my children. We'll be there for many years to come.

My girls have been attending Shire Martial Arts since they were in Yr 3 & Yr 4, now in Yr 9 & 11. Gary is a wonderful teacher, he makes the classes fun and interesting but also holds respect and discipline. The team work hard teaching the lower belts and the classes are always full of energy and keenness.

I have been attending Shire Martial Arts for almost 7 years now and I would recommend it to anyone. The classes are fun and It's really good for not only fitness but also with achieving goals. It give us a long term goal to aim towards. When I started I never imagined that I would reach my black belt or even a second dan! Now I am so grateful for what Shire Martial Arts has done for my sister and I. Thank you sir and all the team!
