What started as a single club has grown into a family of clubs across Yorkshire, Calderdale and Lancashire, providing high-quality martial arts instruction in a supportive, welcoming environment.
Today, TSX Martial Arts consists of five academies:
Together, our clubs support hundreds of students ranging from complete beginners to national and international competitors.
Whether your goal is to build confidence, improve fitness, learn practical self-defence, become a black belt, compete at the highest level, or simply be part of a positive community, TSX provides a structured pathway to help you achieve it.
Our students have represented England at international championships, developed into instructors and leaders within our organisation, and gained skills that benefit them both on and off the training floor.
More importantly, we’ve built something that is increasingly rare today — a genuine community where students support one another, families become lifelong friends, and people of all ages can challenge themselves in a safe and encouraging environment.
At TSX Martial Arts, we’re not just teaching martial arts. We’re developing people.
To help every student become the best version of themselves through martial arts.
We achieve this by developing:
✓ Confidence
✓ Discipline
✓ Respect
✓ Leadership
✓ Resilience
✓ Fitness
✓ Self-Defence Skills
✓ Community Spirit
Our Instructors are passionate about helping every student unlock their potential through martial arts. With decades of combined experience, our team is committed to providing a safe, welcoming & inspiring environment for students of all ages & abilities
6th Degree Black Belt | International Instructor | Over 25 Years Teaching Experience
I began my martial arts journey as a child with the same doubts & uncertainties many students experience today. I wasn’t the most confident child, nor the most naturally talented athlete. What martial arts taught me was that success isn’t about where you start – it’s about commitment, perserverence & having the right guidance along the way.
Since founding TSX Martial Arts in 1993, my mission has been to help children & adults discover their potential through martial arts training. Over the past two decades, I have had the privilege of helping hundreds of students build confidence, improve their fitness, develop leadership skills & achieve goals they once thought were beyond their reach.
My background extends beyond martial arts, having worked in the fitness industry, coached athletes to national & international level, & developed instructors who now lead successful classes of their own. Today, TSX Martial Arts continues to grow through a dedicated team of instructors who share the same vision & values.
Whether your goal is to build confidence, learn self-defence, improve your fitness, compete at a high level or simply become the best version of yourself, my commitment remains the same as it was when I taught my very first class:
To help every student become stronger, more confident & more successful in life.

TSX Martial Arts Instructor | Mentor | Role Model | TSX Family Member Since The Beginning
Few people have had a bigger impact on TSX Martial Arts than Maxine.
A loyal and dedicated member of the TSX family for many years, Maxine has helped shape generations of students and families within our academy. Both of her sons achieved black belt level, with her eldest son, Alex, being one of the very first black belts produced by TSX Martial Arts.
Although physical limitations prevented Maxine from continuing her own grading journey beyond 2nd Dan, her knowledge, experience and contribution to the academy are recognised and respected by everyone who knows her. Had circumstances been different, there is little doubt she would have continued to achieve the highest levels within martial arts.
Today, Maxine leads our Ninja Cubs programme for children aged 4 to 6 years and is responsible for delivering the Ninja Cubs curriculum and gradings. Her unique ability to combine fun, energy and enthusiasm with clear boundaries and discipline makes her the perfect instructor for our youngest students.
To many children, Maxine is their very first martial arts instructor, helping them take those important first steps towards confidence, focus and self-belief. In fact, many Ninja Cubs become so attached to her classes that they are reluctant to move up into the junior programme!
Known as the heart of the TSX family, Maxine brings warmth, humour, loyalty and an infectious personality to everything she does. TSX Martial Arts simply would not be the same without her.
“For many students, Maxine isn’t just an instructor—she’s the person who made them fall in love with martial arts.”

Our programmes have a strong focus on personal development. The foundations of our morals, values and core character traits are formed in our early years. For this reason, the programmes at TSX Martial Arts are an essential way to enhance the growth and personal development of young students of all ages.
You may have experienced boredom with your usual fitness routine or reached a plateau in your performance or physical fitness results. Our adult programmes are the perfect alternative to a boring gym routine, as they help you develop into your maximum potential both physically and mentally by providing real-life self-defence strategies in a fun, focused environment.
We focus on the personal development aspect of martial arts, not just self-defence moves.
Our instructors are all certified black belts, qualified, and professionally trained to teach martial arts.
Our facility is always clean and features a viewing area for parents, as well as matted floors throughout.
Tae Kwon-Do is the style of martial arts practiced by TSX Martial Arts students.
The journey from White Belt to Black Belt is one of incremental learning and skill development, that students of any age and fitness level can embark on.
One of the most fun parts of martial arts training is the ability to test your skills by competing in a tournament. Tournaments are not only fun for competitors, but they also become a great social experience for parents as well!
From sparring to forms to team demos, these awesome competitions are not only a place where our students can test their skills, but also a place where team spirit is built, fears are overcome, and character is developed. Most importantly, they are tons of fun!
One more reason you will love martial arts at TSX Martial Arts!
