— Paul Lynch
The Head Coach
30 years coaching.
Leeds Martial Arts began in 2002, but my full-time coaching journey started in 1996. I was hiring school and church halls, building sessions wherever I could, until I left full-time employment to chase the dream of a dedicated martial arts, strength and conditioning studio. That dream became LMA.
For the adults, that means evening classes focused on K1 preparation, MMA sparring, and rigorous drill work. For the kids, it means teaching them respect, focus, and genuine self-defence from day one.
Training for every age.
We separate the classes strictly by age and ability so the coaching is always pitched right.
Mini-Ninjas
Ages 5–7
Structured fun that sneaks the discipline in. We work on their coordination, balance, and learning how to listen to instruction while burning off that energy.
Ninja Kids
Ages 8–12
Proper technique starts here. We introduce controlled sparring, focus mitts, and teach them how to handle themselves on the mats respectfully.
Teens & LMA Fight Team

The Standard
How we operate.
Earn the right
You don't walk in expecting a black belt. You turn up, you drill the striking, you drill the grappling, and you earn your progression on the mats.
No egos here
Whether you're preparing for K1 competition or it's your first time putting on gloves, you train with respect. We help each other get better.
Fight fit
Cardio is your weapon. We push the fitness hard because technique falls apart when you're tired. Prepare to graft.
Mental grit
Martial arts is about problem solving under pressure. We teach you to stay calm when you're tired and out of position.
Earn the right
You don't walk in expecting a black belt. You turn up, you drill the striking, you drill the grappling, and you earn your progression on the mats.
