We think the best way to for everybody to start is with a free private lesson. If you think it's for you, we'll then give you 30 days of free training.

Don't feel daunted about coming along to any of our Martial Art Concepts academies. We're a friendly and fun place to exercise where everyone is welcome. 

MAC offers martial art classes and training programs that are tailored to your needs so whether your young or a little older, fit or trying to be fit, looking for confidence or self protection skills, together we can achieve your goals.

Both my daughters attend Martial Arts Concepts three times per week. They enjoy their training and the social aspects of the sessions. It has improved their confidence, fitness and behaviour a great deal. One of the best decisions we made as parents when we enrolled them at the MAC Academy. It's so good that I've started training too!

Kickboxing is great! I started last year, my shape has changed and I feel really good when I go there. It has built up my confidence since I started and it is something I like to do for ME. It took a lot to go and start but I just had to try it and now I love it.

My son has been attending "MAC" for 18 months and within that time his focus, determination and perseverance has grown massively. I would recommend "MAC" to anybody.

Fantastic experience: Great school.

Jayne Duffield 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: My son attends mac at Dudley, he's been going from the age of 4. During his time at Mac he has worked really well with Mr Cooper and Mr Stanford. His Confidence and skills have improved massively during his time in cubs and now juniors, he has made lots of friends of all ages. If your looking for a Mac group I'd definitely recommend this one.

Fantastic experience: Been going here 6-8 months and thought I'd give the reviews a look. Not surprised it's rated so highly as it's an excellent place to train and the coaches are knowledgeable, friendly, patient and helpful! Sometimes it can be a bit tricky to follow instruction if it's significantly complex, but if you ask them to clarify anything or help you, they will without hesitation. As the weeks go by I find it easier and easier to understand what's happening and to do it, so it is a bit of a learning curve but it will click. Beyond that, the coaches encourage students to be respectful and friendly as well and I've met some amazing people (and gotten to punch them!). I was a little anxious going to something like this as an adult incase I embarrassed myself but I never had a single problem. If I partnered with someone better than me (which was every one at that point) they were also patient and understanding (as they were in that position once too). Now I'm a bit further along I realise that no matter your partner's skill level, you can always learn something even if it's not what to do. I'm also pretty unfit, that's not much of a problem most of the time as it's more about technique than stamina. Being heavier also gives me an advantage in some areas, you're taught to lean into your advantage rather than forced into something you can't do. It can be a little pricey, but only if you compare it to a gym or something - which it isn't. It's a school. Once you break down the monthly cost to how much it works out per session it works out as pretty good value for money. I will say the gear they sell is a little on the high side (it is of good quality so there's that) The times also work really well for me. At the Dudley site they do mon-thur 7pm to 8pm (then an advanced class 8pm to 9pm), Saturday at 11am to 12pm and Monday and Thursday at 10:30am till 11:30am. The other sites have different times and as far as I understand you can use any of them. Overall, I'd say if you're interested in something like this, go for it. Some of the other reviews mention that you're locked in to a contract and stuff but this is not so much my experience. They seem flexible and accomodating and if you find it's not for you I have no doubt they'd be able to work something out. You'll probably be dealing with Lee for any of the admin stuff and he's one of the nicest guys I've ever met. If I could go back in time, obviously the first thing I'd tell myself is to buy bitcoin in 2008. The 2nd would be to get down to MAC and learn some fightin'. Thanks team!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training at MAC myself for a number of years, and have introduced it to most of my family. The quality of teaching and level of professionalism within the team is second to none. The standard of equipment and level of hygiene within the academy is high, I really couldn’t ask for more. The opportunities I have had while being a member of the MAC family have allowed me to train with some of the best coaches and martial artists in the world, and have allowed me to become a coach myself; my confidence has grown massively and I can now speak publicly without being overwhelmed by anxiety. The instructors at MAC Dudley are wonderful, friendly people who have a wealth of knowledge and practical experience behind them. The classes are engaging and varied in art & style depending on which instructor leads, so it allows us to grow as fully rounded martial artists. MAC Dudley is more than just a place to train, it is a place to make lasting friendships and become part of something - the MAC family. Highly recommend to anyone, especially those that struggle with their confidence and self esteem.

Fantastic experience: My son has been part of the MAC academy since November 2021. The teachers at the academy are great and have really helped and supported him. He really enjoys it and is learning so much about mixed martial arts. Fantastic place for kids to socialise, learn discipline and mixed martial arts.

Mandy Gill 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: My son has ASD and had been attending Martial Arts Concepts for nearly 3 years. He started with no self confidence and very low self esteem. He had no coordination and was unable to work as part of a team. The last three years we have watched him go from strength to strength. He now participates as a team member and has the confidence to help the newer members. All this would not have been possible if it were not for the staff at MAC. During the covid 19 lockdown we thought that he would retreat back in to himself but MAC have continued to offer lessons by the way of technology. So he now does his lessons in our living room where he can interact with the instructor. Also he has been given the opportunity to have one to one lessons. Overall I can’t thank them enough and well done for not allowing lockdown to stop his MAC journey.

Luke Hipkiss 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Such a great place, been a member for over a year now and I have nothing but good things to say about MAC. The staff are as friendly as they are knowledgeable and go out of their way to help anyone. The academies are fully equipped with all you need to jump straight in and also offer equipment for sale so you can buy your own if and when you want to. The classes are fun and exciting, an hour or two can fly by and you don't even realise you've been working up a crazy sweat because you're constantly learning and enjoying yourself. Can't rate the academies and the staff highly enough, 10/10. If you've ever wanted to learn self defense or curious about getting into martial arts then don't hesitate. Call up, get yourself in and make new friends. It'll change your life!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism I had a 1 on 1 training session here recently. Really good facility with a massive range of equipment. I have seen a couple of negative reviews on google regarding cost. I couldn't disagree more with them. You pay for what you get and this is the case here. Would definitely recommend if you want to excel within this discipline.

Sunny 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Been training at the Dudley Academy for a few months now and can’t rate the Academy high enough! The trainers Sir Ben and Sir Matt are great and excellent at what they do!! Very approachable and very helpful to each individual’s needs! I always feel very comfortable training here and always have fun at the same time! I train here four times a week and always feel fitter, healthier and a better martial artist after each session. I recommend this place fully to anyone looking to join and if anyone feels insecure about starting a new martial arts journey then MAC Academies will make you feel welcome and less insecure while training! The Program Manager Dave is excellent in helping with anything you need and the trainers quickly make you feel at home. Start your martial arts journey with this great team! MAC family!

Adele Donnelly 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Coming to Kung Fu Cubs has really helped improve my daughters confidence. She’s a lot more independent too, telling me “no mommy I can do it” I’ve noticed such a difference in the past 6 months. It’s so great to watch her in her classes as she progresses through the belts and develops in her fitness, stamina and technique! Kung Fu Cubs provides an excellent foundation for young children starting out on their Martial Arts journey.

Kelly Lea 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: My children have been training at MAC for over six years and I can not rate it highly enough. My son was the least confident child in his pre school class he wouldn't speak to people he didn't know and as the youngest in his peer group I was worried he would fall behind when he later went to school, this is what lead me to mac. For me the martial art skill is just one of the many benefits my children get from being a part of the MAC Family. I could never put a price on the confidence, discipline, self esteem building and social skills it has given my now bubbly, chatty, confident 10 year old. My whole family now train at this academy my daughter and myself started four years ago and it has helped me as a person to take on new challenges in life and it gives us something that we love to do as a family while keeping us fit and active. You can not compare MAC to just another gym or club it is so much more than that. We have been welcomed with open arms since the day we walked in the door and the level and depth of training is second to none. I've trained in all 3 academies and with the group chief instructor, I've taken part in seminars with Sifu Rick Young and Erik Paulson which were experiences I would not have wanted to miss. My children have been part of anti bullying days and even fun events like movie night and break a board. We didn't realise when we took up this new hobby that it would become our lifestyle and I can't thank the team at MAC enough. MAC is our home from home.

Fantastic experience: Lovely martial arts academy with friendly and helpful staff with years of experience as a junior student myself in the Dudley academy gave me the skills and confidence for my adult life. I would highly recommend you try it out for yourself as I gained valuable life skills. And the kung fu cubs classes are amazing for children to build confidence and make new friends.

Sarah Brettle 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: My son attends Dudley MAC and started off in Kung fu cubs but is now part of the masters programme and absolutely loves it. It has really helped his confidence and concentration and burns a lot of energy. Would definitely recommend it. He is excited to be working towards his black belt

Jane Harris 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve been bringing my foster daughter and grandson here for 18 months now, MAC in Dudley has a great welcoming and friendly team who are focused on giving your child a fun experience whilst learning new skills in the process. My foster daughter loves it and I’ve seen her confidence sky rocket since joining and my grandson who is 3 has learnt so many skills in Kung Fu Cubs, There’s a viewing area where you can watch your child train and complimentary tea or coffee whilst you watch. I would highly recommend MAC if you want to see your children flourish into confident little adults and have a fun time whilst learning.

Robert Kozlowski 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: Me and my little brother have been training here for over 2 years. From the beggining, to this date everyone we met on our journey have been very helpfull. We had great opportunities to train with instructors from different countries E.G. Eric Paulson from America who used to train fighters such as Brock Lesnar that was succesfull in the UFC as we all know. It is always fun to train there wheather you want to send your kids or train yourself it is the best place you can pick to start this journey. I would not go anywhere else as I found a place where I belong and I would recommend it to everybody.

Great family atmosphere but most of all the girls love to come as they've made lots of friends. Would highly recommend to anyone ...and I do!!
