Q1: How long have you been training in martial arts and which ones have you done?

I’ve been training in Karate since 2007, and started to branch out into Freestyle Martial Arts in early 2019- learning different techniques from a myriad of different styles

Q2: What made you start martial arts?

As a child I initially started martial arts to learn how to defend myself on the playground in case I got bullied. As I got older, my motivation shifted towards self defense and as a way to keep fit

Q3: Why did you become an Instructor / Sempai? (What made you want to or agree to when asked.)

When approached to become an instructor alongside Sensei Keron I took this as an opportunity not to pass on my knowledge to less experience students, but to also increase my confidence in teaching and interacting with (especially younger) students.

Q4: What’s the best thing about being an Instructor / Sempai?

Seeing amazing progress within a student whom you have been working with. Knowing that the help you are proving is helping a student achieve their goals is a feeling few things can match.

Q5: What other experience do you have?

15 years experience in learning karate & freestyle martial arts.

Q6: What do you do outside the dojo … what are your hobbies and interests?

I’m a huge cricket fan- a game I also play on the weekends, keen interest in combat sports too such as wrestling, boxing ,UFC and a huge Star Wars nerd!

Q7: Favourite technique:

Nothing beats a clean hook kick!

Q8: Favourite food:

Chocolate chip ice-cream

Q9: One interesting fact that people might not know about you:

I used to be an avid collector of football cards!

We are very grateful for all the support Sensei Keron and his team have provided to our son, it has been 6 years of great achievements, which has made massive outcomes to his physical, emotional and mental development! His journey in Elite Martial Arts has indeed supported the level of resilience in our son even more stronger! Highly recommend this fantastic team!

My 5 year old son attends the Karate classes once per week. The instructors are fantastic with their training and really great with the kids. The kids have a lot of fun and also disciplined training so it's a great combination and preparing them for real life self defence, not just a structured karate move for example... real life, real world application for self defence.

Elite Martial Arts Academy is a great place for people of all ages and abilities to learn Karate, Taekwondo, Kick-boxing, and general self-defence. Sensei Keron and team provide a safe, insightful, and welcoming environment, which makes me look forward to attending each week! I have witnessed how people's discipline and confidence has improved since joining the club, which is a testament to how much the team care about your improvement. I appreciate the focus the club has on knife defenses and just women's self defense classes, which is important in today's society.

My kids have been attending classes run by EMAA for the last couple of years. I was always worried if they would ever like martial arts. Once they started, I was so pleasantly surprised to see that they were so much looking forward to these classes. My kids even insisted that they should attend twice a week which they now do. Great atmosphere, kids always keen to take challenges during classes and always leave with with a sense of achievement. The instructors have a well designed programme and we as parents have seen a lot of improvement since they started at EMAA. I would highly recommend!

My children have been attending this dojo for nearly a decade! He has trained all four of my children . What sets him aside from other Martial Arts teachers is his dedication and passion to all the individuals he trains, he makes a personal connection with all his students and strives to improve their style and techniques. The students learn so much more than Karate; self discipline, respect are just a few . I wish him all the best . Aisha Chaudhary

I have been training at Elite Martial Arts Academy for a little over 2 years now and can confidently say that my confidence and discipline has improved thanks to Sensei Kieron and Sensei Barry’s style of teaching. Their ability to create a friendly environment whilst also teaching fundamental skills in multiple martial arts is why i’m continuing to train at this academy. Highly Recommend!

I am really pleased I chose Elite Martial Arts Academy and Sensei Keron for my kids mixed martial arts lessons. Sensei Keron, Sensei Barry and the team are brilliant at what they do, they engage the children for all ages, they build their confidence, challenge them to push their boundaries and face their fears. My children have grown and made more progress in the 12 months we’ve been with EMAA than a previous place for 2 years. The children really look forward to their twice weekly sessions as it’s always engaging, never repetitive and lots of fun, while they’re building on essential lifelong skills!

At Elite Karate Sensei Keron, Sensei Barry and their assistants get just the right balance between being ambitious and challenging for each karate student and judging their pace of learning. Children learn skill, strength, control, patience, endurance, team work, friendship and fun. Elite Karate sessions are a real highlight of our week. Friendly parents too. It feels like family.

I have trained at Elite Martial Arts Academy since the class opened in 2019 and have enjoyed every class I have attended. It is a great place for students to learn a mixture of martial arts ranging from Karate, Tae Kwon Do and Kick Boxing while developing great skills such as confidence and self discipline. Sensei Keron is the best instructor I have trained under and goes above and beyond to support my martial arts development and the development of other students regardless of ability or age. Would highly recommend for anyone willing to try out Martial Arts for the first time or anyone who wants to get back into the swing of things. It’s a great environment with supportive students who support and train each other well

I had pleasure of training with Sensei Keron for 9 months already. Sensei Keron is a very knowledgeable and caring instructor. He consistently gives you more than what you pay for in terms of extra effort that he puts in training, extra time that he often provides and advice on nutrition and body stretching. Overall, I am extremely happy training with Sensei Keron.
