Outstanding teacher and mentor
Adam Goodison is truly a wonderful teacher of karate. My daughter who is now 13 has been attending his classes for 5 years. It is undeniable how much her confidence, perseverance, self-esteem and self-discipline have grown as a result. She enjoys attending and looks forward to her karate lessons every week. Adam's teaching goes beyond karate skills. It is clear how much loves and cares for the children he teaches. I see him do everything he can to help them grow individually and collectively and he treats each and every one of his students with respect and appreciation.

My kids are thriving at this club
Our children have gained much confidence, new skills, friends and a sporting opportunity to compete through this club.
Thanks to the wealth of experience & knowledge the Chief Instructor (Adam) has put into my children.
They are growing up to be the smart, self confident individuals. 🏆

Thank you for taking the time and effort to leave a review, thank you also for such kind words
YSMS is a great school
YSMS is a great school. My children wouldn’t dream of going anywhere else. Their teacher, Adam, is stern yet fun. He will push yet is patient. He won’t do what many other schools do and up a belt because they’ve been so many classes. He makes sure they’re ready before giving them their next belt. No cheating in this school.
His passion comes through his teaching. He wants to get the best out of his students. In doing so, his students has a high level of respect for him.
Great school.
