Martial Arts, Mental Resilience & Fitness | Private Padwork, Endurance & Confidence for Women & Beginners

Mark is an exceptionally teacher who taught our son a few kickboxing lessons. He’s considerate, reliable and gentle in his approach and our son was always looking forward to the lessons. He’s helped him gain confidence and eventually ease into group sessions. We highly recommend Mark.

Mark is a lovely calm guy who takes time to focus on individuals and make sure everyone is being included in the lesson. He gave me a lot of pointers which made me feel I could progress in combat sports. The people who come to this class are lovely too. Overall a very good experience.

Had a really great experience with Zanshin Precision. As a complete beginner, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect, but everything was explained clearly and made easy to follow from the get-go. Mark is patient, down-to-earth, and know their stuff, which helps settle any nerves pretty quickly.

What I liked most was how welcoming it felt, especially as a woman. It’s not intimidating at all – just a genuinely supportive environment where you can learn at your own pace. The Stratford location is also convenient, which is always a bonus.

If you’re new to kickboxing and based in or around Stratford, I’d definitely recommend giving them a go.

Training with Mark has been such a great experience. I’ve done kung fu and tai chi before, which are more form-based, but with Mark the focus is on contact and technical precision — and I love that contrast. The sessions are detailed and you can really tell how much care goes into getting the technique right.

What I really appreciate is how involved and encouraging the teaching style is. Instead of yelling corrections from the sidelines, Mark actually breaks things down and explains why a movement works or doesn’t — always in a calm, constructive way. It’s a “gentle parenting” approach that still pushes you to improve, but without the stress or ego that you sometimes find in martial arts classes.

I tried an aikido class elsewhere once, and honestly, it made me realise how lucky I am to train here. The difference in professionalism, structure, and safety was night and day. Mark’s sessions are organised, respectful, and focused — I always leave feeling like I’ve learned something valuable (and without any injuries!).

If you’re looking for martial arts training that’s both technical and supportive, this is the place to go.

We really enjoyed the class and thought it was absolutely worthwhile! We loved the sparring and the variety of techniques shown, and the explanations were clear and easy to follow — we never felt overwhelmed.

Two hours felt perfect for us, as one hour definitely wouldn’t have been enough.

Overall, we had such a great experience and thoroughly enjoyed both the session and the company. We’d definitely recommend it!

Mark was impressively able to point out many of my strengths and weaknesses and knew exactly what we needed to work on.

As I reached out to Mark pretty last minute, I only could fit in 5 sessions before my actual competition and straight away I was learning kicks and drills I had never learnt in my whole 2 years of training in Taekwondo.

I thoroughly enjoyed my training with Mark as he is honestly nothing short of amazing and I would highly recommend to anyone to reach out to him as he truly is a master in his field- his punches and kicks are faster than your eyes can register!!!

My sessions with Mark are the highlight of my working week! Mark really helps me to progress, with highly informative and challenging sessions, while having a fun and enjoyable spin on things. I could not recommend Mark higher!

I’ve really enjoyed my time with Mark so far. He’s an extremely attentive instructor and he really matches your energy. No matter how tired I am at the end of the season, I’m smiling because I had such a good time during it. I highly recommend his services.

Mark, above all, is a passionate, life long martial artist whose experience across: Kung fu, Tae Kwon-do and Japanese kickboxing paired with get stuck in attitude makes him a great instructor. Highly recommend him whether wanting to start out and learn the fundamentals or if your looking to refine your striking!

Training with Mark has really been influential to my experience as a kick-boxer. He has a sympathetic approach to teaching which allows me space to grow and improve my technique while giving me confidence in my current abilities. Due to his expansive knowledge of multiple martial arts, he teaches with an open mind, allowing me to adapt to my own needs and bring some creativity to the sport. I highly recommend Mark as an instructor if you want to receive an in-depth, high quality and enjoyable teaching in martial arts.

I had previously worked along side and been trained by Mark for a number of years. He has the ability to assess the capabilities of the person he’s training and able to adapt his methods for the person. He ensures that the person has the knowledge and confidence to be able to complete the task at hand and is always open to assist further if need with great patience.

I had the privilege of having Mark as a personal trainer for my 8 and 6-year-old kids, and I can confidently say that he has made a remarkable impact on their lives. Mark's specialization in kickboxing has not only improved their physical fitness but also boosted their confidence and overall well-being.

Mark's dedication to his craft is evident in every session. He has a unique ability to tailor his training methods to suit kids, making each session engaging and fun. My kids look forward to their sessions with Mark, and this enthusiasm is a testament to his ability to connect with them.

What sets Mark apart is not just his expertise in kickboxing but also his focus on instilling discipline and self-confidence in his young trainees. As a result, my kids have not only become physically stronger but have also gained a newfound sense of self-assurance. This transformation is something I attribute to Mark's guidance and mentorship.

Furthermore, Mark places a strong emphasis on safety during training. He ensures that my children are using proper techniques and protective gear, creating a secure environment for them to learn and grow. As a parent, this aspect of his training style brings peace of mind.

Mark is an excellent instructor, he has a rich depth of expertise and knowledge from his wide experience of different martial arts. His attention to detail on form and technique is especially impressive since he is able to spot what you need to do specifically to improve.

I highly recommend Mark, having trained with him for a number of years. I have taken upon his advice and tutoring which has helped me progress to black belt in kickboxing.
