“BOTH MY TWO DAUGHTERS WERE BORED, SHY, UNFIT AND TO BE HONEST A LITTLE OVERWEIGHT WHEN THEY JOINED THE WAY OF THE SPIRITUAL WARRIOR THREE YEARS AGO. NOW, THEY ARE CONFIDENT, HAPPY AND WELL ROUNDED TEENAGERS THAT PUT 100% INTO EVERYTHING THEY DO, BOTH IN CLASSES AND AT SCHOOL. MY SON WAS DREADFULLY SHY AND LACKED ANY CONFIDENCE BEFORE STARTING AT THE WAY OF THE SPIRITUAL WARRIOR, NOW HE IS TOP OF HIS CLASS WITH MORE FRIENDS THAN I EVER THOUGHT POSSIBLE.”

“I went to a training seminar at WOTSW at the weekend - led by Royce Gracie! It was by far the best day of my martial arts life and Royce himself was a fantastic teacher. Plus he was happy to pose for photos and sign autographs afterwards. It was my first time to the dojo and I was very impressed. Clean, well-equipped, matted floor, ring area, cafe.... You could tell it?s run with a lot of heart as well as professionalism. I?ll definitely be coming back for more of these special training days. Many thanks to Sensei Pillage and the team - a really friendly, welcoming bunch.”

“A number of years ago I was attacked on a night out in a city centre. My counsellor suggested I tried martial arts as a way of helping me cope and protecting me in the future. I met Anthony and started his ladies-only classes. They simply turned my life around. I look forward to my Tues night class. Now I can go out shopping without being scared and feel stronger and happier. My counselor is very pleased with my progress. I would recommend WOTSW to everyone and so would he.”

“I was having a hard time at school and was being bullied so I couldn’t concentrate and I got bad marks. My Dad took me to the WOTSW class. I was very shy to start with but very quickly I realised that everyone there was friendly and helpful and I learnt tons of stuff that made me feel confident and taught me what to do when I was picked on and bullied at school. Now they don?t even pick on me and I feel much, much better. They daren’t. My parents are happy too as my school grades have gone right up. I'm getting a quad bike for Xmas from them to say Well Done. WOTSW rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“Six months ago I was very depressed with my life and general situation. A friend recommended I tried WOTSW to help me. At first I was dubious but went along with them to my first lesson (it was free so I had nothing to lose).... and WOW!! I really liked Anthony and the setup there. I was made to feel welcome and didn?t feel like an outsider. I went again the next week. And again. I?M HOOKED!!! I love the club and have made sooooo many new friends. I feel it has turned my life around. I feel confident. So confident in fact I asked for a raise at work and, guess what, I got it! There?s no way I?d done that this time last year. A HUUUGGGEEE THANKS TO ANTHONY AND THE TEAM :)”

“I am a MMA (mixed martial arts) junkie and have trained in most of the well known gyms in Coventry but WOFTSW dojo is truly phenomenal and Mr. Anthony Pillage is an inspirational marital artist, instructor, friend and human being . I had fallen out of love with martial arts and had only eyes for the UFC, but the first day I meet Tony he changed that and gave me a wider spectrum and understanding of the arts, be it for self defence , competition, fitness or a hobby. I highly recommend this innovative club, what ever your goals Tony’s enthusiasm, friendly manner, innovative approach and love of teaching can help all in all aspects it’s a life changing experience for the good plus its great fun. So what are you waiting for dial that number you wont regret it.”

“Excellent ! As I said before a great place to train no matter what your level, there is always something new to pick up. As well as boasting some TRUELY excellent in house instructors there is a big affiliation with some of the major names in world martial arts who attend the centre to give seminars on a regular basis. I started and was well impressed with the enthusiasm and kind, friendly atmosphere. It really is a big family that anyone can be part of, both I and my wife attend different and varied classes at the centre and we both feel and reap in the benefits, not just physically ( with which there have been MASSIVE improvements ) but also emotionally and socially. A great place to meet freinds and have fun but also improve and develop your technique. From self -defence to competition style techniques, from confidence to awareness a great place to develop as a person no matter what your age or level of ability you will be welcomed.”
Barry C

“I was always unsure about approaching martial arts centres as I was fearful of the "macho" attitude that I have experienced elsewhere. These fears were blown completely out of the water as soon as i walked into the dojo. The centre is one of the most fun and enjoyable atmospheres i have experienced. You feel valued and appreciated and as if though you are an integral part of the family.......and you are! I would recommend WOTSW to anyone of any age and any ability, top to bottom a great place!”
