Our Mission:

Our mission is to make a positive change in each individual who enters our school.  Through the influence of martial arts training, we aim to improve the personal development of as many people as possible: of all ages, sizes, genders, backgrounds, and walks of life.

As a member of the National Association of Professional Martial Artists, Banner Martial Arts & Fitness maintains exemplary teaching standards, leadership within the community and an unyielding commitment to continuing education. 

Our school is also a member of the Amateur Martial Association, the largest multi-style martial arts association in Great Britain.

Our School:

Our facility is over 5,000 square feet in size, and packed with the most modern training equipment available.  Our two classrooms are fully matted with state-of-the-art rubber flooring.  We take great pride in maintaining a clean and professional facility where the whole family can feel comfortable and welcome.  Have a seat in our comfortable reception area and watch our classes in action through the large viewing windows. 

Our school is owned and operated by husband and wife team, Conor & Sarah Donovan.  Conor & Sarah are experienced, certified, black-belt instructors of both Taekwon-do and Kickboxing.  Our instructors are dedicated to the personal development and physical fitness of our members.  Whether your goals are self-confidence, self-defence, fitness, flexibility, or to be a Black Belt...our school will take you there. 

From our toddler programs to our fitness programs, our instructors are dedicated to helping you and/or your family achieve your individual goals.  We have a number of different programs to offer even the busiest students.  And there are no previous levels of fitness required!

Our Instructors:

Rather than tell you about our championships and black belt rankings, we prefer to focus on our students.  Certainly, we're proud of our instructor's accomplishments, however, we're more proud of our students' achievements. 

Our instructors understand that each student's individual progress should be the main focus of their attention.  That's why our instructors continue to be students themselves.  They take classes, attend seminars, and continually work to improve their ability to help our students reach their goals.

Our instructors participate in the American Council on Martial Arts (ACMA) instructor education and certification program.  This program helps our instructors stay up-to-date on the most important teaching issues such as teaching by age groups, safety in the classroom, and student motivation.  We teach traditional martial arts with the most modern and proven-productive teaching styles.

Our School implements a Child Protection Policy and all instructors have undergone extensive Child Protection training.  Our instructors are also qualified in First Aid and CPR.
