Loved by our Shawnessy family
My daughter looks forward to every class.
My daughter has been really enjoying her time at Alavanca. The coach keeps the classes lively with his humour throughout, and everyone there is genuinely warm and welcoming — always ready to lend a hand or offer advice. The facilities are great, and it's just a really friendly environment where people are kind-hearted. The classes have a relaxed vibe, which she really appreciates.
A great school for the family. 10/10.
I've had nothing but great experiences here — the owner is a class act and a real role model. All the coaches have a very high skill level, especially in Muay Thai and Jiu-Jitsu. A great school for the whole family. 10/10.
