“My daughter and myself trained with Dan and we cannot say enough good things about him. Incredibly knowledgeable, a fantastic teacher to 2 complete beginners and the patience of a saint! Made the sessions interesting and accessible to us, despite me having a dodgy back! My daughter was quite anxious about training, but Dan put her at ease immediately and went at her pace through the sessions. A lovely man and brilliant teacher, we would definitely recommend his academy”

“Just been to a 3 hour seminar; totally fab. It flew by.
Picked up some useful skills. The Dad Daughter duo were brilliant. Thanks so much Daniel for arranging.
Recommend to everyone.”

“Fantastic and informative session with regards to self awareness and skills to help protect yourself. Perfect for any age. Both myself and my 13 year old attended the session and really enjoyed all aspects of it; delivered in an interesting and fun way.

“Elemental Academy is a brilliant place to train and learn; from beginners to more experienced people, Dan caters for everyone and their different needs. I thoroughly enjoyed my time learning new techniques which make me feel more able to defend myself as a woman. Dan is a brilliant instructor who made learning the techniques easy to follow with a fun and light hearted experience during our lessons. I highly recommend Elemental Academy if you are looking to learn self defence.”

“Dan is amazing! Over the past few weeks he has given me the tools to improve my mental health and have a more positive outlook on life. Super friendly and helpful, would highly recommend.”

Amazing environment and 'family'. I have been training with Dan for about 5 years now, in both his self defence and strength and conditioning areas, and he has truly helped to turn my life around, building my confidence in my own abilities and my body. Dan is an amazing, calm and patient teacher who has built a great team of instructors and a true family environment. Would definitely recommend.

My eldest 3 children have been training with Dan for almost 2 years now and not only have they learned a lot, but also their confidence has grown massively. Our youngest has recently started and is just 5, his patience and ways of teaching mean she's having fun whilst learning how to protect herself too. With the world we live in today, watching your children being able to defend themselves against a fully grown man is worth every penny we spend (and this is a very reasonable price for the four of them) I wish Dan every success in his growing business and I'm glad we're around to see this venture grow and thrive.

We have seen Dan over the years developing a fantastic practice that is truly accessible to a wide range of people. It's not a trick or some pseudo nonsense, but he has good old fashioned common sense and a fantastic way with young people and those who may feel more vulnerable.
A top rate teacher encouraging every effort. My lad loves the steady development of Ju jitsu here, as he really likes small groups and being heard . I'd trust Dan 100 percent to look after you if you want to train, get fitness, skills and confidence. Plus...he's no big macho ego always a bonus!
Charlie Pyle
Me and my daughter have been training with Dan for over a year now and he is the most amazing teacher and mentor!!
Ben Holehouse
Absolutely amazing. Dan is a fantastic teacher and mentor couldn't recommend him enough to people. When I wasn't in a great place I went to him and now I'm in such a better place.

I have been going to Elemental Academy for over 1 year now and it has helped me lots ... I have ADHD, so it helps me with my anger since that is the main thing that makes me calm down. and it would be good if some more people joined. Thanks Dan for everything
Rachael Dammarell
My son received mentoring from Elemental Academy. He was made to feel relaxed & able to express his thoughts, concerns & opinions freely. He benefitted greatly from his sessions. Thank you very much for the great support.
