Testimonials
“Under the expert tutelage and brilliant guidance from Master Carmichael, my children thoroughly enjoyed learning karate and the importance of discipline. It was character building and positively impacted their confidence and self-esteem. The skills acquired were manifold - hard work, concentration and focus, teamwork, strength and conditioning, respect and good manners, resiliency, leadership, self-defence and there was also lots of fun, laughter and great times, too”.

I have been going to SHMA for a number of years and have been taught by Master Carmichael. I cannot praise her or the school enough. She has an excellent approach to teaching and achieves the right balance between setting high standards of committment and expectations as well as showing empathy and understanding for each student. I would highly recommend for adults and children. Demetri 2025
