Who are we?
WE ARE A HOLISTIC MARTIAL ARTS CLUB - WE AMALGAMATED OUR THREE CORNERSTONES OF ‘KICK-BOXING, YOGA AND CIRCUIT TRAINING’ TO CREATE A ONE OF A KIND COMBINATION WHICH COVERS:
FITNESS; CREATING A FUN WAY TO CREATE A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE
WELLNESS; TAKING CARE OF THE MIND, BODY AND SOUL ALONGSIDE BEING AWARE OF OURSELVES AND OTHERS.
AT MAMA WE ARE NOT A CLUB WHO WANTS MEMBERS, WE ARE A COMMUNITY LOOKING TO PROVIDE A STABLE AND SAFE ENVIRONMENT FOR CHILDREN, YOUNG PEOPLE, ADULTS AND FAMILIES TO LEARN AND ENJOY THE PROCESS WHILST ACHIEVING. WE STRETCH FAR OUT FROM OUR FOUR WALLS; TO SCHOOLS, NURSERIES, YOUTH CLUBS, OTHER YOUTH PROVISIONS, COMMUNITY EVENTS, HOLIDAY CLUBS, SEND CHARITIES AND MANY MORE FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF WANTING TO HELP AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE, HELPING THEM REALISE THEIR POTENTIAL AND CAPABILITIES. WE PROVIDE MORE THAN CLUB CLASSES WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY, WE REACH OUT TO PROVIDE ALL SETTINGS WITH SELF DEFENCE COURSES, INTERVENTION PROJECTS, AFTER SCHOOL CLUBS, HOLIDAY CLUBS AND WORKSHOPS.
Why are we crowdfunding?
We are currently running our classes in two areas without punch bags which would greatly improve all our classes, especially now we are growing and our students are needing to practice their moves with power for their development and growth towards their belts and competitions.
How we’ll spend the money raised
We will use the money raised to buy brackets and punch bags to be equipped in both of our club settings.
Community impact
The primary impact of this equipment being fitted will positively benefit the children, young people, adults and families who access MAMA in our 2 locations.
Having this equipment will enable MAMA to cater to larger classes and will speed up the process to MAMAS near future goals of being able to facilitate more projects within our community, such as workshops, courses, fitness sessions, holiday clubs and community events.

You guys are awesome with them kids, you really are! A credit to you both for what you do and how you are with Libby too. Genuinely in admiration and grateful! Roy
MAMA has been a valuable and very welcomed addition to the after school rota. The coaches have been fantastic. The message of effort, reward and respect they project onto these kids is very well received. Zeb has absolutely loved being involved and sharing the experience with his school peers. Long May this one continue! Gordon
Being invited to watch a MAMA class and grading was wonderful for me. I could see how much my son was enjoying himself and thriving; the team spirit and respect amongst the children and the positivity brought by the leaders. I’m so delighted the he is in such as fulfilling environment which gives great benefits for his physical and mental health. Iona
Coming the these classes has changed everything for me and my 6yr old. After losing all my strength to an ongoing cancer battle, Hannah and Ben have given me the confidence and motivation not to give up on myself. Every week I feel stronger, fitter and faster! Also noticed a huge difference in my son who was previously having trouble regulating his emotions. He’s so happy now at school and at home. Family class is his favourite day of the week! Amy
