"....is a fantastic place for your children to be, taking my daughter there has helped her in so many ways. She has found something that she seems to be passionate about; she loves going there up to 5 times a week. She has taken a real liking to her instructor Rhys, who is so kind and patient with her. My child, who has Aspergers Syndrome, finds it very hard to trust people and to stay focussed on one particular thing at a time. It is great to find a place where she is comfortable to go and to be so enthusiastic with what she is being taught. As a parent to see their child so happy and full of life when she walks though the doors of Southern Cross Martial Arts is a fantastic feeling. The staff are lovely and easy to talk to and I intend on continuing to take my daughter there for years to come."
