Confidence & Strength from Day One

My daughter has been training with StandStrong since the age of 5 (now 9). StandStrong has helped her physical and mental development, and she is growing into a strong and confident young woman, as a result. The team are really passionate and committed to the kids and their growth.

Understanding Our Unique Approach

At StandStrong Academy, we go beyond teaching martial arts—we cultivate essential life skills.  In the heart of Brislington, our space isn't just a training facility; its a diverse community where people from different backgrounds come together to learn, develop and realise their potential through martial arts and self defence training.

Traditional martial arts institutions often miss the mark, neglecting the genuine needs of their members or understanding the journey that brought their members to their door.

We challenge that norm, born from personal struggles, StandStrong Academy envisions a progressive approach where the members needs and goals are our top priority.

Whether you have a child who is being bullied or needs a confidence boost or if you want to feel capable to defend yourself and your family or are simply looking for a new exciting hobby and to learn new skills, we have a programme that will suit you. With us, you'll find more than just techniques; you'll experience a community where every member is welcomed from day one, valued and challenged to grow.

When you choose StandStrong Academy, you're embracing more than just a class schedule; you're joining a family — anchored in professionalism, compassion, and the practical application of martial arts.
