This is an amazing martial arts school
This is an amazing martial arts school. Adam and his team adapt to individual learning abilities. He continues to encourage and praise my son on his achievements and improvements over the weeks and months.
My son has gained strength, better core balance and confidence since starting here.
A family friendly and well run group for all ages.

Yorkshire school of martial arts…
Yorkshire school of martial arts changed my life , I started training at the age of 65 , Adam taught me how to respect and train with confidence, I won lots of medals and trophies with the coaches this school is the best karate school in uk , I learnt respect and hard work pays off in the long run , don’t give up , keep training and you will become a respected and healthy martial artist. Don’t think you can’t do this , you can and Adam will look after you with any problems. Karate can be fun as well as hard work

Thank you David for such a great review.
Absolutely love it !
I joined the club in January of this year with my two kids. Everyone made us feel really welcome and at ease from the start. It’s been amazing to learn to a new skill and meet new people. It’s a great way to exercise and to teach the kids to try new things. Their confidence has grown already and I absolutely love it. Look forward to seeing us all progress in the future :)

Great to hear just how much you're enjoying it and that you're seeing results already!
I'm glad you found us so welcoming, we always try to make everyone feel at ease, starting something from scratch with lots of new faces can feel quite daunting at first - especially for kids.
Challenging but fun
YSMS is a great organisation, both my kids have been attending Adam’s classes for some time now and have both come on a long way, it’s great for boosting confidence with goals to work towards and celebrate when achieved. If you are after a challenge physically and mentally with fun along the way I can highly recommend.

And don't forget that you attend too! You are all amazing pleasure to have in class. Students that have a hunger for knowledge like you all do are whywe do this
Great class
Our daughter has been going to Adam's class for several years now and she loves it. Adam is a great teacher - with his help her confidence and ability has improved enormously.

Thank you for your feedback, it's very much appreciated. Great to hear that parents see the progress too
Awesome!
My daughter used to go to karate before. It didn't even look like karate! We went to YSMS and oh! So big difference! Very experienced Sensei! Sensei is patient and kind as well as Sensei's older students who help with little ones! I highly recommend YSMS to everyone! My daughter has improved not only in karate, but in respecting people, know how to behave (you know little girls) and basically I can see the improvement after each session! Thank you Sensei for doing what you are doing! We are very grateful to you and highly recommend you ! 🙏

The difference between being taught karate & being taught proper karate!
The training is not for the faint hearted but you will be taught with care & compassion. You WILL build confidence & you WILL be well looked after.
These are the best teachers if you want to learn how to properly master karate!
