I can not recommend this place enough. The best hour of my week every week. The instructors and other students are all so friendly and welcoming. They really push you to achieve your goals and I’ve learned so much whilst being here.

My son has trained with Phoenix martial arts for 9 years. It’s a great place to train, the instructors are friendly and very welcoming. Everyone is very encouraging and I have watched my son grow from a shy white belt to a confident 2nd Dan black belt. I can’t thank Mr Alsop and his team enough for the time and encouragement he has given over the years.

I've been going to PMA Wakefield for nearly a year now. It's a great family where everyone gets fit, learns new skills and have a good laugh. I can't recommend them highly enough.

I've been training at Phoenix Wakefield for over 6 months now and cannot reccomend this academy highly enough! The instructors are super friendly, supportive and provide classes for all abilities where everyone feels included and welcome. Since joining I've gone from being at my lowest fitness wise to being able to do press ups, achieving my yellow belt and learning to spar! I always look forward to the adult kickboxing classes and come away feeling fantastic. Just go for it, you won't regret it!

Phoenix martial arts Wakefield is an amazing academy. I’m so grateful to have found their adult kickboxing class as the instructors are so supportive, enthusiastic and encouraging. I’ve made a lot of progress over the past almost year with this academy in terms of fitness and positive mentality. All the people that go are so welcoming and friendly, you’ll be sure to find a second family amongst them; we all motivate each other to do our best and when gradings come around, it’s so rewarding to achieve your next belt to show how hard you’ve worked and the dedication not only from yourself but the instructors as well who have guided you there. I could not recommend Phoenix martial arts Wakefield enough.

Such a good place. Great for beginners and experienced alike. A really positive, encouraging class with a great balance of fun and hard work. Fantastic exercise and a great group of people. I've been doing adult kickboxing since January and my fitness has improved greatly. Classes are varied, there no pressure if you can't manage something, you're encouraged to push yourself , but never to do something you can't/don't want to. If you're curious just get in touch with them and come for a trial. You won't regret it.

I attend kickboxing classes here twice a week and I absolutely love it, it’s become a staple part of my life now. The team are all friendly welcoming people and I’ve made lots of friends since starting. Joining somewhere new can obviously be daunting but honestly starting here was so easy and stress free, everyone is so nice and easygoing! If you’re contemplating a session here just do it, come down to a class and see what you’re missing! 10/10

My other half tagged me in a Facebook post for phoenix as he knows I’ve always wanted to do kick boxing so I decided to push myself out my comfort zone and go, I am so so glad he tagged me in that post as I am absolutely loving it and continue to push myself. Everyone is so lovely and it feels like a family. I always look forward to my classes and feel great after. Everyone is so friendly, patient and willing to help you. I would definitely recommend phoenix Wakefield.

Both myself and my two children train here, I absolutely cannot recommend it enough.
The classes are fun, engaging, every session pushes us all to be our best selves.
My son does karate and loves it. He’s developed so much confidence since starting karate, he enjoys every lesson and is always pushed to be his best self.
My daughter and I both train in kickboxing. We love the high energy, enthusiastic lessons. We love how they are fitness based and really challenge us to do better every single week.
PMA is an excellent club to be a part of. It’s always welcoming, friendly, the instructors are amazing. There really is nothing stopping anyone starting martial arts, no matter what age or ability, PMA Wakefield caters to everyone.

My daughter has been doing martial arts for years, starting Karate and once achieving her black belt began her kickboxing journey. She loves training at Wakefield, feeling part of the Phoenix family being in a safe, and friendly environment. It has boosted her self esteem and confidence in various stages of her childhood and adolescent years.
Highly recommend!
