About Us

One of the UK’s Longest-Established Martial Arts Clubs

 

Mirfield Martial Arts Club is a not-for-profit community club based in Mirfield, West Yorkshire. Since 1975, we’ve been providing expert instruction in traditional martial arts to adults and children across the region.

We are run 100% by volunteers — there are no contracts, no hidden agendas, just a welcoming space to train and grow.

Every class is led by a highly experienced black belt instructor, fully insured, DBS checked, and recognised by some of the UK’s most respected Budo Associations

At Mirfield Martial Arts, we put our students first. We believe learning never ends — we’re all on the same journey together. Our club is proudly run by students, for students

    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 over 40 years later.
