What members say
“The original and best! TMA Kickboxing in Lockwood is a staple of the Huddersfield martial arts community. Coach Dave is second to none, he is incredibly knowledgeable and always structures his classes so you learn proper technique while getting a great workout. Everyone is so welcoming and friendly from day one. If you want the authentic, established TMA training in Huddersfield, I highly recommend checking out the Lockwood gym.”
“I’ve been training in kickboxing for 12 years, this is one of the most supportive and enjoyable classes I’ve been part of. Dave creates a welcoming atmosphere where everyone feels encouraged, regardless of their experience. Dave has supported me from the age of 5 and watched me grow up into a young adult. I've learn't key life skills - alongside self defence. Dave is genuinely kind, warm, and caring and his coaching style always goes above and beyond for his students. I’m thankful to Dave for this opportunity.”
