For thousands of years, martial arts has helped millions of people become their best selves.

And knowing that you have the skills to keep you and your loved ones safe gives peace of mind. We’re committed to our community, and to you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most frequent questions and answers about our martial arts programmes
Bullies are rooted in insecurity and fear. But our Banbury kids martial arts classes grow confidence, focus, and respect. And our group training builds positive social skills and confidence. So long story short: No! Your child won’t become a bully, and there are no bullies in our classes either!
That is up to you! If you need some ‘me time’ — go grab a coffee and relax. Your child is in great hands. If you’d like to stay and observe, you’re welcome to do that as well, and make friends with the other parents. We’ve got a great community here in our Banbury martial arts school and can’t wait for you to become part of it.
No way! Some people come to us who have never exercised in their lives. Others have athlete-levels of fitness. That’s the beauty of martial arts — everyone starts at the same place. And although you’re in a group setting, you’re on your own personal journey. Some people advance faster than others. Every pace is okay. There’s no ego here in our Banbury kids and teen & adult martial arts classes. Just support and positivity.
There is no real answer for this! And we’d urge you to be cautious of any school that gives you one. The truth is, the path to black belt is a deeply personal and individual journey. Some people have natural talent and practice hard every day. Other people need to spend more time building coordination and fitness.
It’s not about getting to black belt, it’s about you becoming a better version of yourself along the way. As you train, overcome obstacles, make friends, find support — you’ll become a stronger you, inside and out.
And our instructors here at Proaction Martial Arts Banbury are committed to you every step.

For your first martial arts class here at Proaction Martial Arts in Banbury you’ll only need a few things: comfy clothes, a water bottle, and an open mind.
It’s perfectly natural to be nervous your first time too. Happens to everyone! As soon as you see how kind and welcoming our community here is, that will disappear.
Not at all! Banbury men, women, and children of all fitness levels come to us, whether it’s for kids or teen & adult martial arts. Come as you are!
Some of our top students were unfit and uncoordinated at first. Now they’re performing techniques they never dreamed possible. The confidence they gained realising what they were capable of is the biggest gift of the process.
All you have to do is show up. We’ll take care of the rest.
