Swindon Martial Arts Federation began with humble beginnings, held at local sports halls. As membership rapidly increased we needed a dedicated premises with specialist martial arts equipment. Our gym and home to all student's offers foam floor matting for safety and wall hung sparring bags to ensure all student's have equal training times instead of having to use spot pads.
We take great care to ensure everyone feels welcome and above all has fun whilst getting fit and making new friendships. Kickboxing is a blend of Karate and Boxing which can be practiced for self-defense, general fitness, or competition. The origins can be traced back to Thailand in the 2000 year old discipline of Muay Thai fighting, a style of kickboxing that allows elbows, knees, clinch fighting, throws, sweeps and low kicks.

Our Adult classes are suited for 12 year-old's and upwards, and open to both men and women. We have attracted a wide variety of people from different social backgrounds and cultures. The class starts with a warm up session, which is similar to the Children's Classes although run for longer and are more intense, then followed by martial arts training session.
Our ladies classes are an ideal introduction to martial arts training; they will equip you mentally and physically so that you can progress to the adult class with confidence. The classes are professionally structured to safely, and confidently develop your martial arts, health, fitness, and self defense skills.
Our children's classes are aimed at a fun learning pace. Written by a Martial Arts instructor and child psychologist, it has since grown to become one of the most popular children's programs in the world, thanks to its ideal blend of basic Martial Arts, Life Skills and Safety Skills.

Our son's confidence, fitness and enthusiasm have all benefited hugely since he started going to the classes. Jason O'Grady is a natural with the children and mixes discipline with humour and the results speak for themselves. The adult classes are as hard as you'd expect and well worth a go with a friendly atmosphere and a mix of all abilities.

A great family gym with an excellent atmosphere. The classes are always hard work but great fun at the same time. I highly recommend anybody, not matter your experience level give the school a try. They also run the Road to Glory white collar boxing events. Again a very rewarding course that helps you achieve personal goals.

One of the best family Friendly gyms in Swindon. Great for adults and children, I’ve been training here for over 2 years now and love it. My 4 year old daughter has recently started some classes & it’s made a massive difference in her confidence. She’s really come out of her shell and gets so excited for her Friday classes with “Coach Jason” as she calls him. I highly recommend this gym.

2.5 years ago I walked through the door of this gym and haven't left! I was trying to get back into shape and was surprised to find such a wonderful family-oriented kickboxing gym. It is both challenging and fun and the people who both run the gym and train at the gym are a fantastic support network for whatever goals you are trying to achieve. My son and I both train there a few times per week. Highly recommended!!!!
