Firstly, thank you for visiting our website and taking the time to read up on what we are all about here at Halesowen Martial Arts Centre. I have always been involved in boxing, kickboxing and martial arts my whole life. I had ran schools part time whilst working full time, due to my love and passion in training people, just like you, to be the best they can be.
In the early 90's, I had a personal tragedy and decided life was too short to just do the 'day job'. With the support of my wife, Julie and the kids, we made the centre a reality. Our goal here is all about striving to be better. Family is an important part of the centre. Julie, my wife works here, Kiyra, my daughter trains here and Reuben, my son, works and trains here.

Strong is the new skinny. This Girl Can. Girl Power. They all sound great don't they but it feels very different to walking into a gym by yourself to get fit doesn't it. We've all been there. Normal gyms terrify you, you've probably spent money on annual memberships only to go twice as it just felt too hard to walk into a class and start all over.
Our low kick is not a typical Muay Thai style of low kick. Its newly added style of fighting within kickboxing where the leg kicks are more controlled as well as trying to throw the leg kicks with a lot more speed. Its not about brute power and strength but more about being smarter with picking your shots as well as being able to counter.
The adult kickboxing classes are made up of 6 classes in total, Mondays and Wednesdays classes are basics, pad work as well as bag work also. Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays classes are sparring sessions so if you have experience in the world of kickboxing and want to do more than just punch bags and kick pads and want that physical side of kickboxing this 3 classes are available for you as well.
Our Junior Kickboxing sessions are about having an enjoyable session as well as feeling welcome if it's the kids on the mats are the parents/guardians off the mats.
Lots of normal exercises are done as part of the warm up but we especially do a lot of team exercises and drills so the class is very well rounded, we try to bring out more confidence in everyone in the session and encourage the juniors to work with new people as uncomfortable as it may feel it is a brilliant way to make everyone feel more comfortable.

Our Fitness Blast session takes place once a week every Saturday morning at 8 o'clock, the entire session is pure fitness, strength and conditioning, cardiovascular workouts, HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) and even standard circuit training.
The session is an hour long and you will be pushed to or past your limits, for those trying to push it that little extra mile or those already in training we have an open mat session straight after so you can do bags and pads, some weight work, more cardio anything to benefit yourself further.

Having never trained before I was a little concerned how i would fit in, and I have to say the welcome I received and the dedication of the staff is tremendous. The whole set up is first class and I would highly recommend them for all of your training needs, whatever your level.

My son comes here for kickboxing lessons. Has been going for approx 1yr. Find the team very helpful and friendly always willing to offer help, look after my son really well and find the atmosphere very relaxed. The groups not to big and always enough staff around to help with the classes. Highly recommend.

This is an absolute 5* club. From little kickers where our youngest goes, through to junior kickboxing for our eldest, then on to adult classes, the commitment from all is amazing. If you are thinking of a martial arts club, this is one of the best you will find. Ask the other clubs you may visit. As it says on the label, "Home of Champions and future Champions!"

My son has been comming to jasons for 2 years now which we travel from telford 2 to 3 times a week.
Since tyler has been training her he has grown in confidence and has become a better fighter.
Since tyler has been here he as become 2x world champion and also won alot of high standard compertitions.
Jason gym is run by himself and family which have all fought on the circut at high standards.
So if you want your child to learn martial arts then halesowen martial ars is a great place to bring your kids.

Fantastic Family run Cub with really dedicated instructors who are passionate about their students and their Sport. We have traveled from Leeds to train with these guys and have loved every session resulting in my Daughter winning 3 more World Titles and many British, European and National Titles with their guidance. Highly recommended no matter if your new to Martial Arts or a Champion looking for that extra edge.

I have been attending for roughly 9 months or so now and I can honestly say I can not sing their praises high enough. Very welcoming and friendly. Weve never done the same routine once always something different to try in every class, £2.50 per class for ladies boxing classes (pay as u go) It has definitely improved my health ect. Love it.
