Since opening our doors in 2010, Modern Martial Arts has grown from strength to strength, becoming a place where families, children, and adults can all discover the benefits of martial arts together. What began as a small dojo has evolved into a thriving community, offering a blend of Muay Thai–style kickboxing, Western boxing, mixed martial arts training, Okinawan weaponry, and traditional Okinawan Karate.

We’re proud to offer classes for all ages. Our Little Champions program, designed by education specialists for 3–5-year-olds, gives children a fun, structured, and confidence-building introduction to martial arts. As children grow, they can move through our junior, cadet, and adult programs – finding challenge, fitness, and a supportive community at every step.

Our instructors are passionate about bringing the very best back to our students. That’s why we regularly travel (several times a year) to Okinawa, Mainland Japan, and Thailand to train with some of the world’s leading martial arts masters. By doing so, we ensure that every class blends authentic first-hand knowledge with our ethos of modern, family-friendly teaching. We offer students the opportunity to travel with us and learn firsthand from the source, and we also take you on some amazing sightseeing trips.

At MMA, we’re more than a martial arts school – we’re a family. Whether you’re 3 or 93, beginner or advanced, you’ll always find encouragement, support, and a warm welcome on our mats.
