Martial Arts with Mike Krause becomes a part of your life.
I originally enrolled my son with Guru Mike in 2013 through my friendship with Sifu Kev. I followed shortly thereafter in 2014.
I have learned so much about myself with martial arts; I am not the most coordinated with my body but Mike and all who I have learned from have instilled in me the knowledge and the wisdom to use martial arts. Whether that be something as simple but hugely effective as breathing techniques for different situations, using an easily remembered colour-coding technique for appropriate levels of alertness for different

My son Craig who has Aspergers Syndrome(autism) has been going here for over 12 years boy and now man. He loves the warmth and friendliness of the guru. Fellow students and instructors are so easy to get on with and helpful.. He goes at least 3 times a week for 1 hour classes or 2 hour classes, at extremely good prices. I cant recommend it highly enough

This is hands down the best place to train! I’ve been training Muay Thai with Mike Krause for almost a year now and have never felt stronger or happier.
Whether you are a novice or expert, Mike pushes you and makes you feel like you can do anything. He gives you the confidence and skills to overcome any obstacles you might face while training and if you can’t master it the first time he is patient and helps you again and again until you feel like an expert. Mike is full of energy and is so passionate about martial arts that his good vibes rub off on you and make you want to work harder and

Amazing for self confidence, stamina and personal growth, learn a range of techniques and self defence and controlling your breath techniques using training weapons and your own body. Would highly recommend to everyone once you start you will want to continue and learn as much as you can. Mike offers group and personal classes for all ages so is affordable for all. Everyone is friendly and always keen to help new comers to join in and making you feel welcome and part of the family. Definitely would recommend giving it a go you wont regret it.

Mike specialises in giving you a life-changing experience. Whether you're there for fitness, confidence, self-defence or anything else you enter a journey which will take you places you never knew existed! I'm… particularly indebted for the support I received when I had serious health problems. This is a gym that really cares about you as a person.

I trained under Mike from 1979 in Motherwell in Tae Kwon-Do when he was 3rd Degree Black belt. A wonderful man, instructor, coach and technically as good as I have ever seen. Stayed with him when he & his brother Steve formed Agonistics. Quite simply the best time of my life was under his supervision. I would implore anyone thinking of training in Martial arts to go under Michael’s wing. The man will change your life. Legend.

I researched many Martial Arts Academies though decided to join with Mike Krause many years ago and can safely say the Academy and gym now is the best it's ever been! From the dynamic training syllabus to the amazing instructors and students it's really relaxed and friendly but also has a great buzz about the place!
They do various Martial Arts so there's something for everyone, there's plenty of beginner classes so if you want to try a few classes you can get a feel for it.
My two young sons have joined the kids classes in recent years and they are loving it, the older one is more confident

I have been training martial arts at MKMA for quite a few years now, and would recommend it to anybody looking to get fit, learn self defence, or learn a whole load of martial arts skills.
The best thing about the place for me is the wide range of age groups and levels - don't be put off coming by inexperience or feeling like you are too old to start - I'm well into my 40's now and there are many older than me!!!
Guro Mike Krause is an excellent teacher, and in addition to normal training I also do private sessions with him - a great way to refine your skills and take things to the next level

Have been training here for over a year now and couldn't recommend a better place to be, I have learned so much, felt my fitness level and confidence improve greatly in this time.
Guro Mike has a depth of knowledge along with Sifu Kev and a group of experienced dedicated instructors, they will take their time explain with patience if you struggle to pick up any new techniques.In addition to this is a relaxed friendly ethos were we are all encouraged to develop ourselves to be the best we can.

I trained at Krauseworld from 10 - 17 years old. After a 7 year break I joined back up exactly 1 year ago today & it's been one of the best decisions i've made.
I train 3/4 nights a week & take private one to one sessions with Guro Mike. The tuition is fantastic & worth every penny.
Having trained both as a kid & adult i'd recommend this gym to… anyone. Its confidence boosting, stress relieving & most importantly you're going to learn to defend yourself!
If anyone is feeling nervous about trying out a class - please don't! Glove up & you won't look back :)
