The instructors are fantastic they are not only highly skilled but also patient and nurturing, creating a positive and safe environment for the kids. Over the last few years, we have seen a remarkable improvement in our daughter's confidence, focus, and discipline, both inside and outside of class. BBMA Hornsby does an amazing job of teaching valuable life skills alongside martial arts techniques. It's more than just a karate class; it's a community that supports and encourages every student to be their best. We highly recommend them to any family looking for a martial arts school."

    — Manoj K.

  • "Best decision Ive made when it comes to extra curricular activities, they are so supportive to my shy child who is developing her confidence already and my two children can do their classes together despite 4 yr age gap. The classes are amazing with a mix of physicality, mindfulness and child protection elements. Just perfect and I wish I had done something like this when I was a kid."

    — Parent

  • "My 7yr old son wasn't keen to join any activities as he's quite shy. A school parent suggested BBMA as their child had felt the same way and was loving it. From the very first introduction class, the welcome we received and the laughter on the mat he was hooked! The instructors are FANTASTIC, funny, kind, helpful, encouraging. The kids are kept engaged the whole time. You can see their confidence growing every week! We are so thankful to all the staff at BBMA and highly recommend them!"

    — Sally N.

  • "We love BBMA Hornsby! My son started here as a Little Dragon, and my daughter and I joined in the Basics program later. We now all enjoy training together several times a week. The team at BBMA Hornsby are fantastic. They are caring, nurturing and very talented. The community that they have created is wonderful, and we appreciate being a part of it. My time on the mats each week is the only true time for me, where I can focus on only one thing. I cannot recommend BBMA Hornsby highly enough!"

    — Susan C.

    — Graham B.

  • "My son has been attending BBMA Hornsby for the last year and I have been thoroughly impressed with their ethos and values. My son has grown in confidence, loves attending the classes and special activities and is learning skills to regulate his own emotions and body which I believe will serve him well as he grows into a young man. All of the the instructors have been excellent and display high commitment to delivering consistent and engaging classes. Highly recommended."
