Experienced Staff

We understand that beginning a new martial art can feel daunting, which is why our experienced instructor team are trained to make every student feel welcome, supported and confident from their very first lesson.

When you join YAMA, our instructors will take the time to understand your current level of experience, ability and physical fitness. Techniques can then be adapted where appropriate, allowing students to learn at a suitable pace while developing correct technique, understanding and confidence as they progress through our structured martial arts syllabus.

Our approach places a strong emphasis on learning, personal development and continual improvement. Lessons are designed to be engaging and enjoyable while helping students develop the knowledge, practical skills, discipline and character required to progress through each grade.

With over 30 years of martial arts experience, our DBS-checked and First Aid trained instructors are there to teach, support and guide students throughout their martial arts education — from their very first lesson through to Black Belt excellence.
