Tried numerous fitness classes and facilities over the years but X-Martial Arts doesn’t disappoint whatsoever. No class is ever the same, instructors are WORLD CLASS experts who come from experience and not just a qualification. I’m 41yrs old and my daughter is 14 and we are both members so we can train together, build confidence, and gain life long skills. Classes to suit all capabilities and Couldn’t recommend them enough xxx.

So, I started training at the Malton location under Mr. Rochester and Mr. Pritchard about a year ago. Since then I have hit every personal goal I've set. In March we were hit with lockdown and they set up a system where we could still train at home via zoom and Facebook or catch up through youtube until we could reopen again. During that time my 6-year-old girl came out to watch and asked if she could have a go, so I stuck a pair of gloves on her and she was instantly hooked, so much so I signed her up, once classes were reopened she was straight in for a few classes then passed her 1st belt test and currently holds red belt and in such a short time her self confidence has taken a massive boost in every way, all she talks about is when her next class is. I currently hold orange and feel great. The people I train with a top bunch of lads and lasses and have also become really good friends and we all look forwards to seeing each other week in week out. In short, if you read this review and are thinking about coming, don't think, just do. you won't regret it. The classes are really friendly and the instructors are world-class in my book. I also have a 25-week old boy and once he hits 3 he will be coming straight into the Lil Dragons program. Keep it coming XMA, :-)

After my 10yr old daughter had been struggling with confidence we came across X Martial Arts School and got in touch. We were told all about their positive start programme and it matched everything we wanted our daughter to get out of participating in classes. We were so impressed with the programme we enrolled our 8yr old daughter on it too. They both started in February and fell in love with it. The 1-2-1 tuition and FB live classes provided over lockdown were simply amazing and kept both my girls focused and raring to get back to classes. The change in both their attitudes has been positive and this continues to only benefit other aspects of their lives. My eldest has just started at secondary school and she feels confident, healthy, happy and I do believe that the XMA classes have definitely contributed to this as she feels so much better about herself and what she is capable of both physically and mentally.
I have been so inspired by their abilities that myself and my husband have also joined. I had 2 serious emergency back surgeries last year and have struggled with any strenuous physical activity since but I now feel ready to do something and while I've only been attending for 2 weeks yet I feel fully supported by the instructor who offers a different exercise if I struggle with the one set.
There is also a real community in class and when I struggled with one of the combinations the other members around me didn't hesitate to offer advice on the best way to do it, this is instilled in every member attending and I am so glad to be part of this Martial Arts School. I cannot recommend X Martial Arts School enough.

My 6-year-old has been coming since he was (just turned) 3. He spent 6 weeks crying on the sidelines, flinching when the big kids ran past and refused to join in. We both wanted to give up. He now has his little sister joining him, he does a warm-up for me before my ladies X Fit class and looks forward to every single class. It makes me so proud seeing how much he has grown in confidence and developed his skills. This is all thanks to the brilliant and very patient martial arts teachers who push him to be his very best whilst being engaging, tolerant, and making sure they always have loads of fun. Thank you everyone but especially Mr. Watkinson & Mr. Burks.

I have been attending classes here for two years now, progressing from the Ladies only to the Teens and adult classes moving up the belts, improving my fitness levels and confidence. The instructors are excellent clearly explaining what is required and helping with technique, no class is ever the same either so you won't get bored easily! There is such a friendly and supportive XMA team which I'm pleased to be a part of! Love it :)

The teachers and the venue at this school are brilliant. My son has been training at XMA for 2 years - he's always excited to attend, and the positive values that they encourage are really helping him not only with his training but also with his attitude to school. Big thanks to our amazing coach, Mr. Watkinson, and the always happy and helpful Carla who does a great job keeping us organized. We love you guys!

I joined Ladies XFit in January as a way to lose some weight and find some exercise I enjoyed. The initial layout for a 6 weeks course was motivation to get my monies worth and go 3 times a week for a good kick start. I'm not a super gym bunny, have metal pins in my ankle, and was a little nervous that I may not have been able to do some of the exercises. I need not of worried as everyone was welcoming and reassuring putting you at ease. If there is anything you can't quite do or isn't possible you don't feel pressured you are encouraged to do what you can. 8 months on I LOVE it. I usually do 3 classes a week. They are so varied and short bursts of routines that you keep focused and don't lose motivation. I am now a member and have even begun belt testing. That's something I definitely wasn't doing when I signed up but I have the bug! I love the classes, the exercises, and the skills. All delivered by a fabulous team who work super hard as standard but have bent over backward to accommodate everyone during this current pandemic! Cannot recommend enough! Come and give it a go!

We started our Martial Arts journey 7 years ago. Over the years, I have done, some form of training, in one way or another.
we enrolled our Son 1st and before we knew it, we were training as a family. All the Instructors are very professional and are full of knowledge and encouragement and the members are all really friendly too. Going back to my personal training, over the years, I have never been in an Environment like X MARTIAL ARTS SCHOOLS. The school is always tidy and clean, well mannered, and full of respect, which is hard to find in this sort of environment (Gyms).

From Instructors - Staff and from members, it’s a very welcoming environment and a happy place to keep fit, make friends & even go on to compete in competitions, you are always supported and encouraged, in whatever training you wish to do.
After 7 years, we still enjoy Martial Arts and we are still learning new skills and developing as individuals.
I, we, can’t recommend X MARTIAL ARTS SCHOOLS enough. 🌟🌟🥋🌟🌟

Such a fantastic martial arts school/family to be part of. The instructors are world-class martial artists but more than that they are super lovely people who are amazing with all the children as well as the adults. X Martial Arts schools help to develop mental fitness as well as physical fitness by increasing confidence, discipline, and friendships with so much support given. Enrolling them in X Martial Arts school is one of the best decisions I’ve made for my kids.

My eldest son has been attending since January 2020, we were looking around for an ‘after school activity’ and something to distract him from his console! We enquired about Martial arts and also spoke to the team about the benefits and they ticked all the boxes straight away! We were offered a free trial, which is good because it’s hard to know if he would like it with us not knowing anyone attending the school! He instantly fell in love and noticing confidence straight away was something huge for my son as this is something we wanted to work on.

Since returning after lockdown he’s come on leaps and bounds not only at martial arts but at home and school too! His teacher has noticed a huge difference in his personality and his drive to want to join in with other activities and I have no one else to thank other than his teachers at martial arts! They are always supporting him and encouraging him to be able to achieve things I didn’t believe a 7-year-old could. So thank you to every single one of you! You are the real hero’s!
