Martial arts horsforth academy

If you are searching for ‘Martial Arts Horsforth’, or ‘martial arts near me’ and you are within a 15 to 20 minute drive of our Horsforth Martial Arts centre, you have come to the right place. Although the Leeds Warrior Factory is actually in West Park, just off the Ring Road, a large proportion of our current members are from the Horsforth area. 

We originally started the club in Horsforth at the Emmanuel Baptist Church but in 2014 we moved to a full time unit in Wira Business Park. This venue was great size-wise but after the building sold to a new large, corporate pension company, it wasn’t long before they started increasing the cost of the rent and service charge until it was out of reach for a family martial arts centre.

After much searching, at the end of 2019 we moved to a new unit only a couple of hundred metres from the old centre was. The new Horsforth Martial Arts Centre is a detached building with its own car park. While the new building is a little smaller than our last one, not having directly connected neighbours works well for us with young children on site. 

As well as the small private car park there is also plenty of roadside parking. As our unit is at the top of Clayton Wood Rise, the road side parking only really gets used through the day when the offices in the local area are busy. By the time we start our classes, most of the office workers have started to leave for the day.

Inside the Horsforth Martial Arts centre we have male and female toilets as well as a waiting area for parents. Here, parents can sit comfortably and watch their childrens martial arts classes on a 55″ TV linked to a high resolution CCTV camera in the training room. As well as the main training room downstairs, we also have a smaller area for private small group session upstairs.

Our Martial Arts Leeds centre specialises in teaching family and childrens martial arts. The children start off in our 3-4 year old Dragons classes and then progress up to the 5-6 year olds. Somewhere between the ages of 6-7 the children try out one of our Junior Taekwondo classes. 

If the parents of the children moving up to Taekwondo are keen to train with their children, we have family classes where the whole family from 6 years upwards can training together.
