MAC Instructors and Coaching Team

We take our responsibility for our members very seriously and that is why we have a dedicated, fully trained team of Instructors and Coaches to help you through your martial arts journey.
Our Coaches and instructors are all certified under the M.A.C. grading syllabus and are often parents of our junior students and therefore have a passion for the martial arts and an understanding for children.
As a team we regularly travel to seminars in the UK and to the USA to update and improve our martial arts with the world's best instructors. Our team are open and friendly and have all travelled the same road on their martial arts journey so they can lend a sympathetic ear when you need support or extra tuition too! After all, they have all been where you are today and made the developmental changes on their journey through the martial arts.
