Without a doubt, the "BEST" Fight Trainer in the World. He help me win my 4 World Titles, achieving my life's goal - to be a "Champion" fighter. He "Knows" his stuff, & "NEVER" takes a backward step.

Without a doubt, Robert "Thunderlegs" Glasson-Wilesmith is the BEST Trainer for ring fighting I have ever had. He backs up what he says, & he delivers. One of the nicest people you would ever meet!

My daughter first attended Gymbaroo when she was 3 months old and continued until she finished the School Readiness program. The staff and program were outstanding. I certainly credit Gymbaroo for establishing good foundations for my daughter to have a successful transition to schooling, both in the classroom and for sports. We love Gymbaroo and would highly recommend the Joondalup centre to all parents.

We have been very lucky to have attended classes at the Joondalup centre for many years with our 3 children. Each child has completed the full course of Gymbaroo and our youngest graduated 2016. During a teacher parent interview the teacher commented on how well adjusted to Kindy she was and how she followed instructions, would sit quietly, ask questions and pay attention appropriately. The teacher suggested her exposure to the Gymbaroo program had enabled her smooth transition into the school learning environment. The teachers and staff at the Joondalup centre have all been fantastic in caring for my children and guiding them in their development. Although my children didn't meet typical developmental milestones this was no hindrance and the program enabled us to work on the areas they needed to strengthen. I highly recommend Joondalup Gymbaroo to other families.

Determination, persistence, resilience. These classes have allowed me to set personal goals and work in a supportive environment where instructors and students encourage and help one another. Whilst you are always presented with instruction on how to improve your current skills, no one class is the same, you are kept on your toes and can't claim to be bored!

Great for all the family. Traditional teachings focusing on technique, form and physical fitness whilst instilling the benefits of discipline, personal safety and a good attitude. With a little fun thrown in.

We have been attending this training session the last 9yrs for fitness, and to gain useful defence skills. Instructors focus on teaching techniques that are neat and effective. Highly recommended for all ages to join us, and surprise yourself with new abilities!

Nice people! good class!

Taekwondo classes for 6 year olds, upwards. Participation promotes benefits, e.g. health, focus, confidence, respect for others and discipline. My primary school son has been attending for a few years now. Seems to have helped him. Worth checking out their initial obligation free class.

I have always found the training at this centre to be of a really high standard and I get a great workout. The instructors and assisting black belts are dynamic, helpful and inspire me to improve by giving me useful tips on how to better my technique. As a lady member it is great to have a good balance of female and male instructors with such a wealth of experience behind them.

Kin Taekwondo is the best combination of health, fun, and fitness that I've come across. Not only am ...

A very progressive martial arts school and training centre in Perth, that teaches traditional and effective tae kwon do. The Instructors are very caring and understanding and always provide teaching and training that is fun, dynamic and a challenge. They are also all very skilled in their own way and provide a very diverse range of skills, not just fighting ability. This is a very family friendly place where kids, teens and adults are welcome. The self defence skills that is taught is realistic and practical and the combat techniques are very sharp and dynamic. I highly recommend Kin Tae Kwon Do to all that want to train hard, improve their fitness and strength or discipline and confidence and just have better health and wellbeing.

10-06-2016

Kin Taekwondo is the perfect school for all ages and abilities. There is an equal focus on skill and fitness, and excellent balance between self-defence and the traditional martial art. The Instructors take the time to get to know each student and work with them one-on-one when needed, and everyone is pushed to the best of their ability. I'm 20 and have been heavily involved in sport all my life, but I have never been physically or mentally healthier than I am since starting at Kin.

06-06-2016

My 3 kids (8, 10, 12) have been learning from Ricky, Paul & Jesse (brothers and all black belts) for several years and love it. Exercise, discipline, heirarchy and skills. Highly recommend.

23-04-2016

I started Kin Tae Kwon Do with no experience in martial art. I have always been active, however I significantly noticed a change in my physical and mental stamina when I joined. The community, instructors and students respect, include and learn from each other, which is something that is hard to find. As a young adult, I would highly recommend this activity for any and all ages. Whether you want to increase your physical fitness, mental discipline or want to try something new, I strongly suggest Kin Tae Kwon Do.

Joining Wilkes was the best thing i have ever done. Ive met the most supportive people there and are proud to call them my friends the instructor team are the most kindest and helpful people iver ever met. joining in 2011 was the best decision ive ever made and would never look back. i love recommendeding this place to people because i know its a wonderful place with wonderful people and i have never been so fit. in the last year ive lost 10kgs and 2 dress sizes just from the classes witch are hard but the most fun. between the fitness classes, bjj classes and martial arts classes I pretty much live there and i love it.

I have been training with Wilkes since 2012, I turn 41 this year and I dont remember feeling as fit, sharp, confident and balanced in a long time. The atmosphere/vibe created within the gym is a sanctuary from pressures of the outside world, the instructors are dedicated and passionate about their art and the progression of all students be it the 3yr olds through to the "older" people like myself. Egos are left at the door and everyone is in there to assist and bring the best out in everyone else regardless of experience and rank. Anyone thinking of signing their child or children up, I could not recommend Wilkes more highly, the quality and substance in the kids classes are not just self-defence and fitness but crucial life skills including respect, courtesy, integrity and dedication. All in all a fantastic environment to train in, a fantastic group of people, quite possible one of the best decisions I have made was walking through the door and getting started.

I joined Wilkes Academy in 2013 after realising that 25 years of trying every fad diet available had left me a middle aged very overweight man susceptible to diabetes and a shortened life expectancy. My wife and daughter had already joined and I had been along to watch a few times, never even daring to think I could do what they were doing. I was asked a few times by Mr Mitchell if I'd like to join in, but I managed to find an excuse every time. Eventually I plucked up the courage to have a crack at it, fully expecting to feel humiliated. What I discovered was a family of instructors and students who are absolutely dedicated to helping people set a goal and realise it, to get fit and have a laugh at the same time, and to learn a skill that both gives you focus away from life's worries and in the unfortunate event that you need to rely on it, would give you a good chance of defending and protecting yourself in a controlled way. Eighteen months later, I am 16kg lighter, fitter, happier, healthier and the proud wearer of a blue belt. I had no confidence that I would last a month when I signed up, but now I can't imagine not having this aim, and these friends, in my life. My ten year old daughter has her education and attitude assessed prior to every grading and this has proved to be very effective in making her want to 'do the right thing' as well as giving her the ability to defend herself also. We pay a very reasonable weekly membership fee and can attend as many classes as we wish. This is not only martial arts classes, but also general fitness classes. Wilkes Academy has changed lots of things about me, but most importantly it has given me a life that I previously thought was out of my reach. Needless to say, I would recommend them to not only the serious athletes, of which there are many in the Academy, but also to the people like me that need the guidance to change their lifestyle and lose weight and get fit.

Our girls have learnt self defence, discipline, gained confidence, and have made friends. Highly recommended.

06-08-2016

The instructors are patient. They teaches my son respect, discipline, self defence and confidence. I also join as a way to get fit and my son loves it that we are doing taekwondo together.

06-08-2016

The instructors are patient and caring yet disciplined and knowledgeable in their craft. My son who is under 6yo when he first joined and has since grown more in his self-esteem and fitness. He loves going to training and only missed lessons when he is really sick. He also learns discipline and teamwork. Recommended to any parents wanting their kids to learn discipline, respect and get fit at the same time.

Instructor Danny has a positive "can-do" attitude and is supportive of all students, regardless of their age or ability. Come along and try it out - it costs nothing to give it a go and you won't regret it.

12-04-2016

I am so happy to see my kid looking forward to training with great enthusiasm every time. Great instructors and friendly environment!

10-01-2017

First Tae Kwon Do Thornlie teaches a non-competitive style of martial arts which ingrains students of any age with strong values of discipline, respect and perseverance through the commitment and dedication shown by the instructors at the branch. There is a strong family atmosphere at Thornile with many of the students and instructors being family members as well as a range of ages from 5 years old to 50 years old. The instructors are experienced teachers and leaders and encourage students to always strive for excellence in everything that they do. I would highly recommend First Tae Kwon Do Thornile for any families wishing to do a physical activity together or to children who are looking to improve their self-confidence and discipline.

My 2 youngest daughters joined First Taewkondo Thornlie over a year ago . It was highly recommended from a friend . We wanted our daughters to be strong in both body and mind , as well as build self confidence. They are growing and developing new skills all the time . They have developed great self confidence and discipline. They love challenging their physical abilities on a regular basis and setting new goals. I also joined with my daughters just over 6 months ago , and thoroughly enjoy the challenge. Instructor Beard , and all the black belt instructors are truly amazing ,helpful and very approachable, with a great knowledge of the art . Thank you

My child has been attending since he was 4, studying Karate and Muay Thai. The instructors are great role models and very knowledgable, there is a good variety of classes to choose from. They clearly care about their students and making sure they learn the skills correctly. We are very happy we found this school.

20-05-2016

Instructor Amie runs an excellent class, which caters for students of all ages. It's great that each class is very well structured and students are not rushed through belt ranks (true traditional standards that are difficult to find nowadays).

20-07-2016

I have been involved with this club for over 10 years. My son started as an under 7 and just finished as an under 17. Now my daughter has just started as an under 6. Highly recommended for keeping fit and meeting new people. Fun and friendly atmosphere. Come down and give it a try!!
