   My son has been attending for over a year and absolutely loves it. He started just before he turned 3. The development in discipline and respect has been the highlight for sure. Well worth the money to join the club. Recently, I attended my first class after a hiatus of martial arts training for 15 years, brilliant for families to do something positive together.

   We began taking our 2 year old and 4 year old boys to the class around 6 months ago. Our initial engagement with Kyle and thereafter has been top class, we trialled the initial class as a 1-2-1 with the kids, on the mat whilst a class was ongoing. This gave an insight to what they would be doing when attending. The classes have provided a balance of discipline, entertainment as well as the much needed skill set of martial arts which our kids have took to so well. They attend twice a week and if develop well can be put through grading. There are mixed levels throughout the class, but always progression even with other children. It isn’t a free for all and children know what they’re here for. There are two academies and chances for additional classes through the leadership programme. We trialled another MMA academy and Kay’s excelled on every level! 100% would recommend.

   Absolutely brilliant club for both adults and children. Both me and my daughter attend, my daughter absolutely loves attending the classes to learn, have fun and meet up with her friends old and new. Master kay helps everyone who attends to better themselves within all aspects of martial arts and life by teaching respect, discipline, confidence and to be able to defend themselves if the situation ever came up. Would highly recommend this type of mixed materials arts to anyone who is interested in bettering themselves whether that be in self-defence or just to improve their lives through fitness.

   Brilliant club. There is a class for small children from 3+ and a family class for older children and adults. There is a good mix of all age ranges, males and females so it is suitable for anyone. Great teachers and a friendly atmosphere. I would definitely recommend

   My son has been a member of the KFMA Academy in Birstall for around 3 months and since day one I have never failed to be impressed with the level of discipline, respect and inclusivity that Master Kay promotes. Aside from the physical benefits of martial arts training, he and the other instructors (Master Kay Snr & Master Green) put an emphasis on safety and technique in an environment purpose built for learning the importance of self defence and the responsibility that comes with such training. There is a genuine spirit of community and camaraderie where each member is granted the same attention and support from instructors and fellow students alike, regardless of age, gender, ethnicity or level of ability. I will often see students helping each other to correctly practice and master given techniques in class, because they actively want each other to do well. It’s understood that each have their own strengths and is therefore not unusual for lower belt grades to be seen working with and helping those with more experience, and. I’ve versa, all done in closely monitored lessons where each member gets regular one on one time with the instructors. From a parent’s point of view, it’s been a pleasure to watch my son learn and want to succeed and progress through a clearly laid out structure of grading and certification. It’s a huge comfort to know that he is learning to defend himself and others the right way while also building confidence and giving him a mindset that can be applied to and help him to work through any situation in life. I honestly can’t speak highly enough of the Academy, Master Kay and the instructors, the students and all of the other parents and family members that I have met on the sidelines. I would (and have) recommend KFMA to any parent, anyone looking for specific martial arts classes, anyone looking for a new fitness regimen, anyone at all. I’m very proud to be associated with the Academy and what they stand for.

   Me and my son love going! It is perfect for family fitness because you can do it together in the same class so no issues finding childcare and the instructors are supportive. They take charge and ensure that children are respectful so you can focus on your development. Children learn focus and self discipline. At the start my son would only want to work with me he now has the confidence to work with others even if he does not know them! He has developed focus and self-awareness too . I have improved my fitness, confidence, balance and it really helps my mood and I feel great after class. Martial arts becomes a way of life and the instructors are great; highly recommend!
