Doncaster Martial Arts Centre

With four BJJ black belts outstanding, kickboxing, boxing and MMA coaching, you could not train at a better place! Former BJJ European Champion and owner Neil White ensures that attention to detail is the key to every lesson and that his instructors have time for everyone - beginner or advanced. One of the best things that awaits you though is the warm welcome as you walk through the door - I really can't recommend this place enough!

Thank you for making us so welcome! Gabe had a great time, we are on holiday from Fightworx Torquay, and it was as if we train there every week, everyone is so friendly. Gabe learned loads of new techniques, Chris is a great teacher! will have to train here every time we are in Doncaster!!!!

I've trained here for the last couple of months and I've been made to feel so welcome. As if I've never trained anywhere else. The coaches are all so lovely and approachable and knowledgeable. There's a really good mix of people and belt abilities to ensure no matter what your experience you get something out of a session. Fully recommend anyone thinking of training here to do so.

Where do I start? I'm there every day except Sunday's! Okay a quick summary to start with:Everybody in the club is super friendly, encouraging and inspiring, both instructors and students. Everybody works hard. Never done a class before in any martial art? Doesn't matter at all, just come along, you'll be very welcomed. The sessions are tough, but if they were easy then what's the point? You will ALWAYS walk/crawl away from a class either exhausted, more educated or more than often, both. Brilliant work for cardio, stamina, technique, strength and power training.Okay, so a more detailed review - I started at the club April 1st 2015 (properly that is, I did 8 weeks boxing training last September but broke my foot after and got super lazy!) and it's now July 10th 2015, so a good 4ish months I've been back training. I train in Boxing, Kickboxing, Brazilian JuJitsu (BJJ), Judo/Taijutsu and just recently, Muay Thai.I'm instructed by Nicky in Boxing and Kickboxing - she's incredible. An extremely good teacher and motivator, she always has time to show you a technique you're struggling with and DEFINITELY has time to shout you on when you're not pushing yourself hard enough. She WILL get you to work but she will always get the results from you. With her having held a World Title in 1998 for Kickboxing, she has competed with the best and will train you to be the best.In Brazilian JuJitsu (BJJ) I'm instructed by Neil who also owns the club. A very nice guy and he's easy to get along with and talk to, if you're struggling with a technique he will break it down to its bare minimum and walk you through the steps one by one. He'll pick up on the tiniest of details you're not getting quite right and iron them out until they're perfect, which is exactly what you want in any sport, but especially in BJJ where every millisecond counts. Just like Nicky, he will also push you as hard as you can go. BJJ can seem a little intimidating at first as it's a very hands-on sport, but don't worry, every student that trains will walk you through anything you're not sure on. I've never left a class without learning something.I started Muay Thai this week so I can't comment greatly on this but, from my very first lesson I knew I would be there every week. Lee instructs Muay Thai and pushes HARD. Very hard. It relies heavily on fitness and heavily on technique, but if you like a challenge then you will love his class. Lee has fought at the very highest level with countless achievements under his belt, so he definitely knows what he's doing. Even on my first class he paid extra close attention to me regarding my technique, fine tuning it from the very start so that I got into the right habits going forwards. He'll shout and shout and shout to encourage you in class to keep going and to keep pushing yourself that extra second more. All of this was just from my very first meeting with Lee and I look forward to more.In Judo/Taijutsu I'm instructed by Brian. I always look forward to his classes as I get so much out of them and the way he teaches is something I've not experienced before. Not only do you learn the physical side of Judo/Taijutsu, you learn the history behind it too, how it started, the meaning behind a particular technique, what it was originally used for, how it's been adapted etc. So really, you get a Judo/Taijutsu lesson and a History lesson in one! Again like all of the instructors, he's very detailed in his explanations and demo's, you'll get to work with other black belts as your partners which is super effective for maximizing your learning and fine tuning of technique.That covers it all! Overall, a fantastic environment to be in, super motivating, great fun and you'll make friends for life. I think I see these guys more than my parents.See you there!Sadie (currently typing this after a Muay Thai class, even my fingers ache).

I have joined the pink collar boxing with no boxing experience at all. We are learning to box here wiith Nicky and she is fantastic. In just a few weeks i am starting to feel confident in what i am doing and have learnt the techniques. I have attended some of the sessions at the centre and they are fantastic i will be continuing after the boxing has finished. I feel really welcomed at the centre by the staff.I would reccommend the centre definately.

I've trained jui jitsu for the past 8 years. I've tried a few different gyms in my time but nothing compares to this place. The amount of knowledge for not only BJJ but all other aspects of martial arts the instructors have at this place is unmatched. Get yourself down!!

Love this gym, this place is my second home/family! I’m a completely new person since coming here and I love training every day the instructors are all brilliant and friendly. Highly recommend joining if you want to start martial arts.

Dmac has a variety of ways to train such as bjj, kick boxing, boxing and Thai boxing. You can do these at all ages. It has an amazing atmosphere due to the lack of disrespect and arguments between everyone there.

my family and I would like to say a massive thank you for all the support and the encouragement you have given and shown my boys in the past 8 months. very much part of the family now and have the best teacher ever and they have gained so much in the space of time. niki is an amazing person and teacher and my boys have the up most respect for her and the instructors there chris and lewis and also a massive thank you to neil for making us so welcome and look forward to many more happy years in the club thank you maria and the boys xxx

Excellent instructors, friends and atmosphere! Wouldn’t want to train anywhere else!
