What an amazing martial arts school! I honestly don’t know where to begin with my praise. From the moment I first contacted them they showed a lot of interest in getting to know my daughter and what makes her tick, she was the absolute focus of their attention, not just trying to sign me up. Attending her first class she was uncharacteristically shy and quiet but Sam the head trainer spent that class buddying up with her to make her feel welcome, the effort and time the whole team at Acomb put in to make my daughter feel special really was impressive. They have continued to make the same level of effort and give all the kids a lot of attention and a lot of praise when things go well. I can’t recommend them highly enough and I would implore anybody looking at martial arts for their children to contact X martial arts and you’ll be just as happy and impressed as I am. My daughter absolutely loves it there and has asked if she can go every single day she loves it that much!! Sam and the team are an absolute credit to the company.

My journey at X Martial Arts has been transformational. I started in 2015 with very little confidence and in a bad place. All the instructors were very supportive and welcoming and I trained 3 times a week for 4 years to earn my black belt. It’s such an incredible community and in that time I met so many new friends. I was again supported in the following years to become an instructor and school owner, and I’m proud to be able to give back the benefits that I was given. I’m honestly not sure where I’d be if I hadn’t found XMA. I’d highly recommend it to anyone considering starting martial arts or already training! Learn from some of the best in the world! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Our son is quite sporty but we hadn't found the sport that he had a real passion for until he started at X Martial Arts! He trains 4-5 times a week, enjoys his sessions with all the instructors and gets annoyed if we cant go! Staff are really helpful and the instructors ability,expertise and encouragement is second to none! It's a great team and everyone is so friendly - staff, parents, kids. X Martial Arts is for everyone!

4 of my 6 children attend X-martial arts and thoroughly enjoy their classes. All the staff and instructors are amazing with the kids, extremely personable, always happy to go the extra mile, and always have welcoming smiles! I have an autistic child who attends and the staff go above and beyond to cater to her needs and the. classes are so inclusive!! could not be happier with the tuition my children receive for a very reasonable price, best decision ever made! the team spirit is second to none!! why not join our X-martial arts family…. i guarantee you won’t regret it!!

Joining X Martial Arts has in no small way changed our lives! What started as a way for our boys to learn self defence has developed into us being part of the full X Martial Arts community; helping out as SWAT members, joining the Competition Team, all apart from our youngest earning our black belts (youngest soon to follow no doubt) and Mrs H now working in the team. Last year being part of the X Martial Arts competition Team gave us the opportunity to compete at an international level as part of the England team, with our eldest boys winning world titles in Ireland. They would not have got there without the support and encouragement from the instructors and coaches at X Martial Arts. The instructors are all second to none, with countless world titles between them all. They are great role models to the children and adults alike, and really know how to get the most from the students in their classes. We love being part of the community.

Highly recommend XMA. My son started a year ago and I joined shortly after. My daughter 2 loves watching and often joins the class off the mat. Such a family friendly place. Always different lessons and everyone is always so friendly.

Our children have been attending XMA for a couple of years and the experience has been phenomenal. The instructors are particularly adept at working with kids, making each class fun and engaging while teaching valuable skills. Their patience and expertise have greatly helped in building our kids' confidence and discipline. Highly recommend for any parent looking to introduce their children to martial arts in a nurturing and professional environment.

I couldnt recommend this place enough i cant keep my son away from this place. I was worried it was to expensive but its worth every single penny. Harley gets ready for martial arts and and walks himself there without me even asking him. Harls has such a layed back personality and everyone worried about him been so quiet and not having much confidence but he goes to martial arts even if nobody he knows is attending and will spar with anyone. He comes home everynight telling me all about it and what he has learnt. I really couldnt recommend this more.

My child has been training at X Martial Arts in York for a year, and the positive impact it's had on them is remarkable. Not only have they become more confident at school, but they also eagerly share what they've learnt with their friends. The exceptional quality of the instructors, along with the dojo's focus on discipline and physical fitness, has helped keep them active and focused. Xmartial arts also offers a fantastic summer camp, birthday parties and seminars throughout the year. This has truly enriched my child's experience. What sets X Martial Arts apart is not just the martial arts; it's the genuine family-like atmosphere they create. It's a life-enhancing experience. Xmartial Arts is truly exceptional.

I’ve been training at X Martial Arts for 10 years now, martial arts has taught me so many core life skills like discipline, confidence and resilience which help me in day to day life both in and out of class. From a staff perspective it is amazing as well as being able to build a career whilst getting to meet so many people, I still have the opportunity to train and attend tournaments.

Highly recommended, world class instructors. My daughter has been going for 5 years and my son for 2 years. There confidence has grown massively and also there fitness.

X martial arts really is for everyone! My son started aged 3 and I started in my 30s. There is a great friendly, supportive and encouraging atmosphere there regardless of your age, fitness level or ability. Kickboxing is great for keeping fit, your confidence and discipline, along with making new friends, so I would highly recommend. Why not try a free trial class and see for yourself?

A brilliant school with world champions as instructors. The culture and ethos is first class and the students learn a range of life skills above and beyond the martial arts techniques. Myself and my children train here and we all love it. I can’t recommend it highly enough

The classes are fun, energetic and engaging. My Son's confidence has improved greatly since joining 18 months ago. I'm certain this is down to the positive and encouraging way the instructors talk to all the participants.

Starting lessons at X Martial Arts is not just one of the best decisions I’ve made in 2022, but one of the best decisions I’ve made in my life. Luke and his world class team are wonderful; the instructors are outstanding; they are so knowledgable, they motivate, they’ve encouraged me to always try to get better. Martial Arts are changing my life in a very positive way; not just with improving my physical and mental health, with my self confidence and being part of an incredible community. Thank you to everyone at X Martial Arts 😀

We were lucky enough to find this school after moving to York. They had been very friendly and supportive with my young son. He was not very keen on going to the mat and starting the kick off! They just gave him more professional support and in no time, he was confident to start his journey. He now waits for his classes with lots of enthusiasm. Highly recommended!

I have never liked exercising and never stuck at it. One of the best decisions I’ve ever made was giving this a go and I have stuck at it and most importantly, I actually love it! The whole team are all brilliant and very welcoming. The classes are fun and challenging. I feel fitter and more confident. I can’t recommend this highly enough! Everyone can and should do it.

Absolutely second to none! Friendly, enthusiastic and extremely professional instructors make the classes fun, exciting and flow so well for the kids. Both my Daughter and Son have thoroughly enjoyed their martial arts journeys learning new skills and achieving their belts. I would and do recommend X martial arts to anyone who is thinking of starting a martial arts journey whatever their age! Thank you to all the fantastic staff, keep up the brilliant work 💪🏻👍🏻😊

What a team! Our son has been attending XMA for 2 years and he loves it. It’s given him confidence, control and positivity. The instructors are hugely welcoming and supportive. Without hesitation our daughter will be joining as soon as she’s old enough. We can’t thank the team enough here for what they do. They are inspiring.

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 wont get bored easily! There is such a friendly and supportive XMA team which I'm pleased to be a part of! Love it :)

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.

I’ve been going to the school for over 3 years now and am part of the ladies xfit class, and I absolutely love it... the workouts are amazing; each one different from the last and you feel so good after each class. The staff are great, very friendly respectful and professional and I’ve never felt shy or out of place there. They give you praise constantly and build your confidence to try things that were maybe out of your comfort zone before. I’ve also made lots of new friends that have actually become like family now. Would highly recommend XMA to absolutely everybody!

X Martial Arts is a tremendous school with a dedicated team of staff and instructors. Whether face to face instruction or virtual classes, they do all they can to engage with members and help them progress, stay fit and be part of a wider circle of friends. As a family of four, we have attended the school for a number of years, we have seen it grow and expand whilst still maintaining the personal touch that makes this school special. I would highly recommend X Martial Arts School to anyone because everyone is made to feel welcome.

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 happy place to keep fit, make friends & even go on to Compete in competitions, you are always supported and encouraged, in what ever 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. 🌟🌟🥋🌟🌟

Fantastic martial arts school. My son has classes for a bit over 2 years and I can clearly see how much it helps to improve his self confidence, discipline and respectful attention for other people. He is much physically stronger now too. I love the way of teaching, wish to do class by my own but currently I’m more concentrated on kids. Can’t wait when my youngest daughter can join the classes in her 3yo. Thank you guys for your effort, professionalism and love to our kids xx Daria

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 organised. We love you guys!

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 ive 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. Their 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.
