Brilliant sinsei's and staff at this dojo. They teach great self defence skills and also teach inerstrength, confidence and mindfulness. It hes helped to aid my son in to a strong confident boy, I couldnt recommend enough.

Great school and great ethos. Great for building children's physical and emotional confidence while teaching respect for oneself and others.

My children have been coming here for years. We’ve tried other marital arts in other places and nothing compares. The hand build beautiful dojos, the chilled cafe with lovely atmosphere, the friendly welcoming staff and the high standards upheld by all are a huge testament to everything they have built there. I recommend this place to everyone I know.

This dojo turns every class into a life lesson – my son isn’t just learning techniques, 🥷 but also respect, discipline and confidence. The staff are like a family, cheering every little achievement, and the atmosphere vibrates with positive energy. 😊😊😊It’s a place that truly inspires growth. Thanks 🤩

My twelve-year-old daughter has been attending lessons with Stuart and his team since she was four. The teachers are all amazing and other centre staff are super friendly and give the place a welcoming feel. The facilities are great: a really nice café, toilets, changing rooms should students need them, and plenty of martial arts and Japanese culture-related merchandise. The standard of teaching, from basic respect through to complicated training sequences is very high, with all teachers being very supportive and encouraging towards all students, demonstrating patience and understanding of every child’s abilities and limits. I would definitely recommend Stuart and his team at the Samurai Centre in Brighton. They even teach adults. It’s never too late to learn a new skill… and a little extra discipline!

A fabulous dojo where respect for yourself and others, personal growth and being the best you can be is at the core of all the teaching . Brilliant teachers who are dedicated to their practice and committed to improving themselves and their students. We’ve been part of the Samurai family for 7 years now and would recommend to anyone old or young.

My children started their journey at the Samurai Centre in Brighton in 2022, and it's a decision we never regretted. The instructors are incredibly skilled, patient, and genuinely invested in helping every child grow — not just in martial arts, but in confidence, focus, and resilience. It’s been amazing to watch their progress over time, both physically and mentally. The centre has become a real anchor in their weekly routine. I’m truly grateful for the dedication of the whole team, they’re approachable, always ready to listen, answer questions, and support both kids and parents. If you’re looking for a place where children can learn discipline, build strength, and have fun in a safe and encouraging environment, I can’t recommend the Samurai Centre enough.

Both my children have gained strength, courage, self discipline, knowledge and thirst for this amazing art. Every child would benefit from this and there’s classes laid on 6 days of the week so it’s very accessible even for an overworked single mum 😊

I could not be more satisfied. The instructors are extremely professional, patient and dedicated. They have an approach that values every effort the children make, which motivates them to keep trying. My son feels at home here. My son has learned not only self-defence techniques, but also important values such as respect, humility, patience and dedication. Every class feels fun and dynamic, and there is always something new to learn. In addition, the facilities are spacious and well equipped. There is a super cosy cafe and Japanese food. I would definitely recommend this school to other parents who are looking for something more than just a physical activity for their children. What I like most is how they tailor the training to each child's abilities, helping to build their self-confidence.
