Mirfield Martial Arts Club

Mind, Body & Spirit.

A way of Harmony for young and old since 1975

About Us

We’re among the Oldest Martial Arts Clubs in the UK

Mirfield Martial Arts is a not-for-profit club based near Leeds in Mirfield, West Yorkshire. We have been providing expert instruction in Traditional Martial Arts since 1975.

Unlike most of the franchise Martial Arts businesses you’ll find via google, nobody in MMAC is paid. It’s run 100% by volunteers. This means there is no agenda, no pressure selling, and better value for you.

Every class is led by a highly experienced instructor, fully insured, DBS checked and with a Dan Grade (Black Belt) awarded and ratified by some of the oldest and most respected Budo Associations in the UK.

“We pride ourselves in putting the students first. We are all still learning. We’re all on the same journey. That’s why It’s run by students, for students”

HANSHI Vince Thompson, Founder of MMAC

Technical Director, Tokushima Budo Council International

Benefits

What do you get out of it?

Confidence

Develop confidence for challenging situations and conflict resolution. Not being a victim isn’t the same as learning to fight.

Strength & Agility

Although not formal strength training, you will build core strength, speed and flexibility.

Oh, and one crucial membership benefit that rarely gets mentioned on Martial Arts business websites – it’s also great fun.

Inner Calm

Change your outlook to life and learn to overcome stressful situations.

I have learned so much going from eager student to instructor. And I get to enjoy it all over again, helping upcoming students on their own journies.

Aikido is challenging, great fun and addictive. That’s why I’m still here teaching and learning almost 40 years later.
