Feeling Better

Honestly, I hadn't realised how much I missed training in martial arts until I started up again here, in just a few lessons I feel so much better with myself mentally. Such an iconic and wonderful community and so much fun!

Absolutely Outstanding Martial Arts…

Absolutely Outstanding Martial Arts Club – A True Gem!

After a long and careful search to find the right martial arts club for my son, we are incredibly grateful to have discovered Shuhari Martial Arts. From the very first day, the experience has been nothing short of exceptional. Communication was prompt, clear, and professional, a reflection of the high standards the club upholds.

Sensei Olgun, the creator of the Shuhari club is an absolutely outstanding instructor. His professionalism, passion, and deep respect for the martial arts are evident in everything he does. He leads with strength and discipline, and it is clear that he genuinely cares about each student’s growth, both on and off the mat.

The atmosphere at Shuhari is one of respect, focus, and encouragement. Sensei V is equally impressive, she knows how to challenge the students in just the right way, always seeing their potential and pushing them to achieve it. Watching the classes is inspiring; the energy, commitment, and mutual respect between instructors and students are powerful and uplifting.

This is more than just a martial arts club, it is a community that builds character, discipline, and confidence. We couldn’t be happier to be part of the Shuhari family, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for a place where students are truly seen, supported, and guided to become their best selves.

They are briliant.

My daughte has a fantastic experience with Shuhari Self Defence.
From the very first class, the instructors were welcoming, professional, and clearly passionate about what they do. The training environment strikes a perfect balance between discipline and encouragement, making it ideal for beginners and experienced martial artists alike.

Begin your self defence journey today

Having never done any fighting or self defence before, been going for 2 months and have seen massive improvement in knowing how to protect myself.

The instructors are all very knowledgeable and give you individual feedback to perfect your technique.

Highly recommend for all ages.

Fantastic Self-Defence Class for All Ages!

I initially inquired about this class for my son, but I ended up joining myself—and I couldn’t be happier! The instructors are incredibly skilled, patient, and motivating. The classes are well-structured, providing a great balance of technique, fitness, and discipline. I’ve noticed a significant improvement in my strength, flexibility, and confidence since starting. Whether you’re a beginner or experienced, this is a fantastic place to train. Highly recommend!.

Shuhari - life saving skills

I have been attending Shuhari Corporate lessons, and my son has been participating in the public lessons. We both find these sessions highly valuable, as they impart crucial life-saving skills. The Shuhari lessons are exceptional, and they have significantly boosted our confidence in both our daily lives and while traveling.

Excellent team

We have been so impressed with the running of the club, all the instructors/assistants/sensei are so incredibly lovely and professional. The safety knowledge they impart on to the children in between teaching, as well as the attention each person receives no matter how big the class - all makes it that little bit extra special! My son loves his class and is always super excited to attend, its been lovely to watch him grow in confidence since joining 4 months ago!

Excellent instructors


Excellent instructors, friendly and professional. They are also very flexible with the days and that makes it very easy to parents. In addition, my son, who has recently joined the team, enjoys very much his lessons and he feels very satisfied with the skills he is learning. They are very supportive and patient hence, I highly recommend this place for all stages of learning.

Fun and friendly self defence class

I spent a long time reviewing all the martial arts clubs in the area, and the wide range of locations and times offered by Shuhari Self Defence particularly stood out so I decided to call to find out more. Sensai Olgun took the time to answer all my questions and his knowledge and passion for martial arts was apparent. I was offered a free trial session so I could try risk free. From the first session in Cippenham with Sensai Brian and the second in Slough with Sensai Majid I knew I had made a great choice, especially as everyone was so welcoming and friendly. It has been 3 months now and am enjoying it more and more each week. My only regret is not finding and joining this club sooner!
