I would just like to say how truly grateful I am to Sifu Mark for teaching me the skills I have. I was walking down the street, when I felt someone grab at my shoulder. I did not hear them approach me as I had my Ipod on. The attacker had a knife and asked for my money. When I said I had none, he asked for my Ipod. What happened next was instinctive and very quick. I found myself in the position of controlling the knife. It was just like I was taught. After a short struggle he was begging for me to let him go, so I did. The police never caught him, but without the training from Sifu Mark I would never have reacted the way I did, and had I not, who knows what would have happened.

I have been training at Impact Manchester for over a year now and I love it! The academy always has a friendly and welcoming atmosphere, and the varied, no-nonsense curriculum have kept me coming back for more! My fitness and co-ordination have improved greatly, and I've learned a lot about the arts of Jeet Kune Do, Kali and Silat in a short space on time. I am extremely lucky to have a great teacher with such a variety of experience in Sifu Mark, and even more lucky that his academy is based practically on my doorstep here in Eccles. I would strongly recommend the academy to anyone looking to learn authentic martial arts.

My initial impression of Impact was the very welcoming atmosphere. The centre remains a friendly and welcoming place to train. Sifu Mark is an excellent instructor with a genuine enthusiasm and is keen to share his knowledge with his students. The classes offer a great cardio and mental workout, and the instructors are always on hand to offer guidance and encouragement. Anyone in the North West with an interest in JKD, Kali, Silat and BJJ would do well to check out Impact Martial Arts. Anyone thinking of attending will be welcomed and treated with respect.

I've been training with Impact for two years now and consider the decision to join the family to be the most positive I've ever made in my life. When I started I was two stone over weight and at a low ebb in terms of my self esteem. Training gave me a focus that pretty much saved my sanity, and since training under Sifu Mark, I've lost the two stone and am in the best shape of my life. Impact has improved me immeasurably both physically and mentally. I rate the training and atmosphere so highly, that I've had no problem recommending the school to several friends, and even my fiancée who holds the academy in the same regard.

I've been training at Impact Manchester for over a year now. I originally started training to get fit and increase my self confidence. My boyfriend was already training, and he believed I could meet my goals by joining Impact. I was apprehensive at first having no martial arts experience, but thought I would give it a go. It turned out to be one of the best things I have ever done for myself, and I have far exceeded my fitness and confidence goals. The lessons are structured in a way that addresses basic techniques, and builds up through each phase, perfecting and building on these. Each class always builds to a hard workout by the end, which is great! The teaching is amazing and I would recommend anyone to come along and see for themselves.

I had been thinking about gaining some cerebral and visceral understanding of a martial arts discipline for some time. When I found out that an academy was opening on my door step I was of course interested. I went down with a friend who was already familiar with JKD and Karate. We were given a free lesson on the opening week of the school and we are still there now!!! Sifu Mark has helped me gain an understanding and appreciation of myself and provided me with the tools to feel mentally and physically confident. I thank him for that and continue to train as part of my life-long learning. Sometimes it’s hard but always it’s great!
