Meet your coach: Rohit Ghai

Rohit Ghai is a long-standing member of AG Martial Arts, having trained in-house for nearly a decade as of September 2026. He now coaches at Richard Taunton Sixth Form College, bringing that experience to his junior and teen sessions. He is particularly strong at engaging teenagers and supporting their development through regular training.

Preparing for a first visit to Taunton

Bring water and comfortable sportswear, and allow time to find the class before it starts. Follow the venue map link for the destination, but confirm which entrance and room to use with the AGMA team. School facilities can have different arrangements outside the school day.

If step-free access, a place to wait with another child or parking arrangements affect your visit, ask before travelling. We can help clarify those details rather than asking you to rely on assumptions about the college site.

After the trial, ask about the suitable ongoing programme and check membership options in the AGMA app. There is no need to choose a long-term arrangement before your child has experienced the session.

Current class instructor: Rohit Ghai. Let the instructor know it is your child's first session.
