🥋 OUR AIM IS TO TEACH MUCH MORE THAN MARTIAL ARTS...
At Valley Martial Arts, learning effective martial arts and self-defence is obviously a huge part of what we do — but it's only part of the journey.
Through fun, friendly and fast-paced classes, we want our students to become stronger in every sense of the word. 💪🧠
We develop fitness, strength, flexibility, balance, coordination and physical health — but just as importantly, we work on the person behind the martial artist.
Confidence. Discipline. Resilience. Courage. Perseverance. Self-control. Respect. Integrity. A positive attitude. A strong mindset.
For our younger students, our goal is to help gradually develop them into confident, resilient, capable young adults who are better prepared to deal with the challenges that life will inevitably throw at them.
For our adults, it's an opportunity to get fitter, stronger and healthier, learn effective martial arts and self-defence skills, challenge yourself, relieve stress, and become part of a friendly, supportive community.
And you don't need to be fit, flexible or confident before you start — that's what we're here to help you develop.
Whether you're 5 or 60, a complete beginner or you've trained before, there's a place for you at Valley Martial Arts. (We also have a Little Ninjas class for preschoolers!)

🥷 A Huge Thank You to Graham! 🥷
Every Friday morning, Graham comes to Leaping Lizards and teaches our amazing Little Ninjas, and we just wanted to say a massive THANK YOU! 👏
Graham is a local black belt martial arts instructor from Valley Martial Arts, and his energy, patience and enthusiasm make every session so much fun. The children absolutely love him, and we're incredibly grateful for everything he does.
Our Little Ninjas class is a 30-minute, fast-paced, action-packed session specially designed for pre-school children.
Through a variety of exciting games and activities, little ones develop important physical skills including:
🥷 Strength
🥷 Fitness
🥷 Agility
🥷 Balance
🥷 Coordination
Just as importantly, they begin building valuable life skills such as:
⭐ Patience
⭐ Sharing
⭐ Taking turns
⭐ Playing fairly
⭐ Honesty
⭐ Perseverance
⭐ Self-control
⭐ Confidence
It's wonderful to see the children's confidence grow week after week, and that's all thanks to Graham's encouragement and dedication.
Please leave Graham a message in the comments to let him know how much he's appreciated! ❤️
Graham will be back in September teaching Little Ninjas. We hope to see lots of new faces.

Last half term at nursery we took a small group of children to Leaping Lizards to have some Little Ninjas sessions. Little Ninjas is a martial arts group and Graham the instructor was great at helping support and teach children respect, manners, being kind, helping and being a team. Leaping Lizards Play Centre

As grading week comes to a close the team want to say a massive well done to all who graded and passed this week. Amazing performances 💥

CONGRATULATIONS to our newest First Degree Black Belts, Second Degree Black Belts, and - for the first time in Valley Martial Arts history - a Third Degree Black Belt! 🥋👊💥
Achieving these incredible milestones requires tremendous commitment, perseverance, discipline, physical fitness, and years of consistent training. It takes showing up week after week, month after month, and refusing to quit when things get tough.
A truly excellent weekend and thoroughly deserved accolades for everyone involved. We couldn't be prouder. 🙂🥋

It’s been a pleasure bringing our Little Ninjas classes to this wonderful pre-school, and we’re really looking forward to being back in a few weeks.
Our Little Ninjas class is a 30-minute, fast-paced, super-fun session designed especially for pre-school children aged 3–5.
Through a variety of exciting games and activities, children develop important physical skills such as strength, fitness, agility, balance, and coordination.
At the same time, they begin building valuable life skills including patience, sharing, taking turns, playing fairly, honesty, perseverance, self-control, and confidence - among many others.
Alongside delivering these sessions in pre-schools and play centres such as Leaping Lizards Play Centre, we also run our own Little Ninjas classes every week at our Academy on Tuesday afternoons at 4:30pm.
These classes are designed to build the foundations of a strong character - both physically and mentally - and to give children the best possible start in life.
If this sounds like something that would benefit your child, feel free to visit www.valleymartialarts.co.uk for more information.

No one sees the effort.
No one hears the doubts.
But every day… you show up anyway.
That’s where confidence is built.
That’s where resilience is forged.
That’s how strong, disciplined, and capable people are created.
At Valley Martial Arts, we don’t just teach techniques—
we build mindset, character, and life skills that last a lifetime. 🥋
Whether it’s your child gaining confidence, or you stepping up to become your best self… this is where it starts.
