You never know what someone is quietly going through.
Today is World Su***de Prevention Day, a reminder that a simple “Are you OK?” can mean more than we realise.
Check in with the people you care about. Listen without judgement. Be there.
Sometimes, just letting someone know they’re not alone can make a difference. 💛

WE’VE BEEN BUSTED! 👮😂
What on earth happened at Phoenix Martial Arts Knottingley?!
Don’t worry, our students haven’t been causing too much trouble! 😉 They simply decided that getting the police involved would make summer camp even more exciting! 🚔🥋
A huge thank you to the officers for joining in and making the day extra special. Our students absolutely loved it! 🙌

✂️ 15 inches of hair, £800+ raised and two very big hearts! ❤️🥊
We’ve got a seriously special achievement to celebrate!
Our very own Holly, who trains in our KB classes, and her sister Haley have both taken the chop for charity! 🙌
💇♀️ Haley donated 12 inches
💇♀️ Holly donated an incredible 15 inches
And together, they’ve already raised more than £800! 👏🎉
To put that into perspective, raising £500 covers the cost of having the donated hair made and fitted into a hairpiece, making their incredible fundraising even more meaningful.
What an amazing thing to do for others. ❤️ Your hair will grow back, but the difference you’re helping make will last so much longer.
Holly, we’re so proud of you! And a huge well done to Haley too. 👏🥰
Fancy trying this partner exercise? Grab your training buddy! 👀🥋
One person does leg raises while their partner works through sit-ups. 💪
Sounds simple, right? But there’s one very important rule: look after your partner! ❤️
Take it steady, communicate with each other and make sure you’re both comfortable with the movement. The goal is to get stronger together, not leave someone nursing an injury! 😂
🎥 Watch the video and let us show you how it’s done!

Summer camp was WAY too much fun! 😂🔥
What do you get when you mix martial arts, games, challenges, plenty of laughs and a brilliant bunch of students?
One unforgettable summer camp! 🙌😎
We had an absolute blast, and judging by these smiles, the students did too! 🥰
It was the perfect way to spend some time together off the usual timetable.
Would you join us for the next one? 👀☀️

"Sometimes the bravest and most important thing you can do is just show up." — Brené Brown
Not every day will feel easy. Sometimes you won't feel motivated, confident, or even ready.
But showing up anyway? That takes courage.
Remember that you don't have to be at your best every single time.
Just turn up. Give what you can. Take the next step.
You might be surprised by how much strength you find along the way. 🥋💪

We adapt where we can for students.
In class we have a few ladies with different health issues. So when they can't do an exercise we change it so they can still join in.
Does this mean they get an easier lesson than others? No. Everyone is working at different levels and all are pushed to work to theirs.
