They are amazing at teaching their students
Fantastic school, full of support and knowledge that has given my son confidence and skills for over 8 years. He loves attending and respects and admires his teachers. Best martial arts school in the county.
My daughter started many years ago Hicks karate and never regret. She is always want to come in every single lesson as well to help other students. She never lost motivation and keen to learn new skills. I highly recommend this club to everyone who is interested in martial arts.
I have 2 children who attend classes at Hicks & they absolutely love them! All of the instructors are friendly and informative. 100% would recommend
My son has been attending now since the middle of last year and is absolutely loving it! Amazing instructors, amazing atmosphere and a truly welcoming place for the whole family. My 18 month old already watches at the door and will be joining the ninjas class as soon as she can! I can't recommend it highly enough! Thank you.
My little boy joined aged 3 and has grown up with the team. Now 6, and still enjoys the activity and support offered by the staff. Wrap around activities are great including cover over the school holidays.
Coming back after having a baby and I found the school was flexible with days I can do to work around child care. Was nervous on my first session back but the whole team made me feel welcomed and liked I never left I highly recommend any new mums to come join to help lose the baby weight and build confidence in yourself again.
I can’t recommend high enough because there’s only five stars. Not only has my child gained confidence, focus and a higher fitness level, he’s also gained friends in an environment that always pushes him to work hard and be his best version but also somewhere that feels like a big family.

I can’t recommend high enough because there’s only five stars. Not only has my child gained confidence, focus and a higher fitness level, he’s also gained friends in an environment that always pushes him to work hard and be his best version but also somewhere that feels like a big family. Sensei and his team continue to give the students, both children and adults, all of their support and kindness, always going above and beyond! It’s not just a martial arts school; it’s so much more than that! The ethos for the school is to commit yourself to being the best and healthiest version, both mentally and physically and the team absolutely creates the environment for this and for personal growth. We will forever be grateful to Sensei and the team! Worth. Every. Penny! -summer camps/social events/free events like film nights for the children/Halloween and Christmas parties -competitions locally to gain experience with sparring -make up lessons available if you have to miss a session -opportunities for students to gain coaching experience -additional time given before belt testing to focus on anything where the student lacks confidence -homework based around morals and character growth such as ‘resilience’ giving the students opportunity to reflect on their behaviours -online videos and guidance -reasonable and well-considered pricing Less
Amazing!! Can’t recommend enough!!
We visited Hicks Family Martial Arts School as our daughter wanted to try karate. She was nervous on her first day, but the team at Hicks made her feel incredibly welcome and at ease. She now goes at least twice a week and is making incredible progress, not only in working her way through the belts, but also in her confidence, agility, and determination. Highly recommended!
Perfect place for Karate lessons. You can feel that kids been look after. Little family, coaches are very supportive. Prices - reasonable. I like the fact, that we can change day if we cannot attend choosen one. Camps during half term or summer time very helpfull for working parents.
Brilliant place both me and my 4 year old daughter attend classes here. The staff are brilliant and take time to teach the students my little girl has been going 18 months and grown so much in confidence in that time. Could not recommend more.
Daughter absolutely loves going every week and has achieved so much since starting not just karate moves but confidence and behaviour has changed too. So pleased we found Hicks Karate 🙂
My son has been training here for nearly 3 years and he loves it! One of the easiest recommendations I could make.
Fantastic place to take your children. They work so hard with the children to focus and be the best they can be. You become extended family, everyone spurs each other on to get where they need to be. Lovely atmosphere for toddlers,children and adults. The sitting area has tea coffee and hot chocolate and treats while you wait.
A Happy and friendly environment, with wonderful staff and a great selection of classes to accommodate everyone! Would highly recommend. *****
My son and I have been a part of Hicks Karate School for nearly 10 years… would always recommend as the best family orientated karate school in Peterborough.
So much much than just a karate club, more like a big family, where everyone's welcome. As a family we have coming over 9 years and taken part in a range of classes from preschool karate, beginners, adults, advanced, to sparring and even a class with a mix of gymnastics and weapons training. There really is something for everyone, and as well as a wide choice of classes they also do holiday clubs... More
So much much than just a karate club, more like a big family, where everyone's welcome. As a family we have coming over 9 years and taken part in a range of classes from preschool karate, beginners, adults, advanced, to sparring and even a class with a mix of gymnastics and weapons training. There really is something for everyone, and as well as a wide choice of classes they also do holiday clubs, fun days, social events, birthday parties and charity work. The instructors are all brilliant and passionate about what they do, they have a lot of experience and qualifications/achievements in their sport. My kids have thrived here, both have competed nationally and internationally, with my eldest taking on a coaching role at lots of events, and both involved in a leadership program, helping out in beginner classes. One of the main things that impresses me about this club is the efforts to keep teenagers engaged. As a parent of a teen I know how hard it is to keep them them motivated but at Hicks they are given more responsibility, encouragement and the opportunity to boost their skill set. Skills that are very interchangeable with the world of work as they get older. Less
It is a very athletic club with multiple events and classes everyday for different groups. The teacher is funny , nice helpful and is good for support and also have some people which disability s .I would definitely recommend it to you and also you get a free t- shirt.
Amazing dojo. Family run business and made to feel part of that family very quickly. My children thrive here, my oldest in particular, he is 10. Absolutely worth giving it a shot, adults and children love coming here. Don't hesitate, have a go. You may find what makes you shine 🌟
First class my grandkids love it.
The best martial art school in Peterborough
A great friendly family orientated karate dojo
My little girl (3.5yr) went for her free trial. She did 2 weeks of 2 classes a week and she loved it so much she asks me everyday if she can go to karate! They are so skilled with the tiny ones, they all look like they are enjoying themselves. I love that u can watch on the screens too. Safe to say she signed up and goes every week now. Brilliant!
such a great friendly and fun place for the kids, Sophie loves going x
What a great family orientated place. I have never seen my kids be so motivated to do well at something and believe that's down to the friendly atmosphere lesson structure and great instructors. Thumbs up from team Brudenell
Since our son joined Hicks Karate he has grown in confidence, improved his fitness, made new friends and grown as a person. The environment really is one of “family” and the whole team make people welcome and look out for each other. Thoroughly recommend Hicks Karate, well done Sensei and team.
Fantastic club, great instructor/s, sensei. Nothing more to say!
We needed something to help our daughter learn to focus, so glad we found Hicks. Brilliant teaching in a friendly atmosphere. It's disciplined enough that she knows the teacher means business but relaxed enough that she enjoys it. As a parent who knows nothing about martial arts I feel comfortable asking the teacher questions, which for me is a massive plus. We go to the Werrington classes and lo... More

Brilliant teaching in a friendly atmosphere, exactly what we needed to help our daughter learn to focus and to control her long limbs! It's disciplined enough that she knows the teacher means business but relaxed enough that she enjoys it.
Excellent friendly karate school. Son has attended since being a Little Ninja and then mummy caught the bug too!! Lots of fun and very motivating!
Amazing place. That pretty much sums up my experience here.
Super...;-)
Was here yesterday n back today. My son loves his first session. Wonderful family environment.
Great for kids and adults alike. Lots of variety of classes.
My daughter been going now 3 years and loves good teachers lovely people
Great atmosphere very friendly and good value for money.
Brilliant martial arts school with great instructors for both children and adults, very friendly atmosphere and genuine feeling of belonging in the team.
Absolutely amazing club run by a great guy! Great facilities, serious work ethic and just a good place to put hard work in!! I'll be back! 😊

All our family train here; lovely environment with a great atmosphere, an approachable, friendly place for children and adults of all abilities, and a nice area for parents to watch, chat and have a cuppa together when juniors are exercising and learning!
Friendly atmosphere, family feel, great approach to children, made to feel comfortable from our very first visit. Got to say it's family run school and the help from all the family has been second to none with advise on the correct equipment needed to the brilliant non nonsense but very friendly training given to our daughter. She loves it.
