Proaction Martial Arts Nominated for ICAP Rising Star Award 2026

What the ICAP Rising Star Award Means for Proaction

Being nominated highlights the progress we have made and supports our mission to develop young people beyond martial arts. For Proaction, it means:

Growth and Achievement

Over the last year, we have expanded our programs, increased student numbers, and strengthened our reputation in the community. Growth for us does not only mean numbers; it also means real development and confidence in every student.

Innovation in Programs

We constantly improve our class structures and training methods. As a result, we can give students better experiences and help them grow both in skill and character. In addition, our internal systems allow our team to work more efficiently.

Community Engagement

We build a supportive community through leadership programs and events. This approach helps students develop teamwork and respect. Moreover, our families feel included and valued, which strengthens connections across our community.

Passion and Vision

Our team shows a strong passion for children’s development. Every session teaches life skills alongside martial arts. Therefore, students leave with confidence and resilience to face challenges on and off the mat.

Sustainable Growth

We focus on long-term growth while keeping our values. In addition, we plan for the future so more students can benefit from our programs over time.

Looking Ahead

The ICAP Rising Star Award winner will be announced at the upcoming conference. Being nominated alongside other inspiring businesses motivates us to continue raising standards, expanding our reach, and positively impacting more young lives.

We sincerely thank our students, parents, and team. Your support makes this achievement possible and drives us forward.

About our programmes

Kids Martial Arts
in Northamptonshire, Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire, Leicestershire, Oxfordshire & The West Midlands

Many Mighty Monkeys (4–6-year-olds) join us shy and nervous, gripping onto parents and carers as they shuffle into the training venues. But after their first session they bristle with excited energy as their confidence soars with a newfound love of Martial Arts.

Our instructors expertly hold the attention of the class. They make sure every child feels included and at ease. They gain the respect and focus of all Mighty Monkeys through being inclusive, approachable, and creating a fun environment their students actively want to be part of.

Our Mighty Monkeys form friendships that will grow with them as they progress through their martial arts journey. It is the best possible introduction to Martial Arts that any parent or carer could give their child. Our 7yr+, Taekwon Do students work on physical and mental strength. We give our students a safe and fun environment in which they feel they belong, constantly strive for achievement, and develop an unshakeable sense of self-worth."
