TESTIMONIALS
Sir-Alan Clemens (Founder - Association of Osteomyologists)
A great dojo with top instructors, this really is the way to go if you wish to practice proper authentic Martial arts. A peerless group of martial arts instructors. Both John and Ko are without a doubt two of the finest Senseis (Teachers) you could find. Advanced or beginner if you wish to practice traditional martial arts this is the Dojo to attend.Their strongly developed new Nei Chuan is a revolution in teaching and Martial Arts innovation. Practice makes perfect at the Poon Dojo join now....

Having little self confidence or the ability to speak out or stand up for herself, I decided that my daughter should participate in a form of Martial Art as this would not only assist her in these issues but would also provide discipline, routine, the ability to follow instructions as well as her learning self defence.
Poon Dojo was recommended to me to me by a friend, who had attended the school many years ago because of their unique way of teaching. Discipline plays a major part within Poon dojo not to mention respect for one's peers.
My daughter has been attending the school now for almost two years and thoroughly enjoys the classes. There were times when she wanted to give up but persevered and cannot bear to miss a single class now.
I would highly recommend Poon Dojo to anyone wanting their child to learn martial arts or self defence. Not only are the sensei's passionate about the art itself but they are dedicated to maintaining high standards within the school through discipline and continued training.

Our children have attended the Poon Dojo for the 3 years. They have really enjoyed their time and have come a long way in their training and have now attained purple belts.
This is due to both the respect and work ethic instilled in the children from day one. Merits are not given out for the sake of it and all children have to demonstrate that they earn their belts.
Hard work is very much appreciated and showing a good spirit is essential, the level of respect expected and demonstrated by all persons of the Dojo is something to be appreciated.
This Dojo does not only teach you Martial Arts, it teaches respect for both yourself and others. It makes the student understand that what they are learning is to be used only for self defence and never in anger.
This gives them a sense of responsibility and respect for what they undertake and makes them appreciate what they are learning. Overall, I am very satisfied with this Dojo and appreciate the effort and consideration given to both my children and all the other members of the Dojo.

Poon Dojo has been fantastic in developing discipline and focus as well as the physical aspects of traditional martial arts in my son who has been a student for 2 yrs. It is a very well run family organisation with two extremely enthusiastic, skilled and warm hearted teachers at the helm. I highly recommend Poon Dojo to anyone interested in learning martial arts or self defence at all levels.
