The MAC

The MAC, located in Keighley, West Yorkshire, is the leading martial arts centre in the area, offering a range of traditional and modern martial arts disciplines for all ages. Founded by Combat Challenge lightweight champion, Michael Faulkner, The MAC provides training in MMA, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, boxing, kickboxing, and muay thai.

With a focus on both self-defence and fitness, The MAC offers classes and one-to-one sessions tailored to meet the needs and goals of each individual. From Kid's MMA classes for children aged 5-13 to kickboxing classes for adults, there is something for everyone at The MAC.

Kid's MMA classes aim to boost self-confidence and equip children with essential skills that they can utilise throughout their lives. These classes involve practical techniques from striking arts such as boxing and kickboxing, as well as grappling and self-defence techniques from the world of Jiu-Jitsu.

For adults, the kickboxing classes at The MAC are mixed on various fronts. Encouraging a mix of sexes and ages, as well as a combination of boxing, kickboxing, and muay thai, these classes focus on practical stand-up fighting techniques that are applicable in both competitions and real-life situations. Capable juniors may also be permitted to join these classes, starting from the age of 14.

The MMA/BJJ classes at The MAC offer a comprehensive training experience that closely simulates a real fight. These classes incorporate padwork, fundamental grappling techniques, and carefully selected sparring sessions. Grappling, particularly Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, is a significant component of these classes, teaching essential principles for self-defence and effective techniques for escaping bad positions and avoiding losing a fight.

Located at Keighley Business Centre on South Street, The MAC boasts a large matted area, bags, pads, and a comprehensive fitness suite on-site. Whether you're looking to learn self-defence, improve your fitness, or compete in martial arts, The MAC has it all.
