Heritage

Leicester Martial Arts Club, originally founded in 1946 as Leicester Judo Club, proudly holds the title of the oldest martial arts club in the UK. Our long-standing history is underscored by our distinguished instructors, whose rankings reflect their expertise. As we prepare to celebrate our 80th anniversary in 2026, we remain committed to sharing our rich heritage with our members and the community. With a variety of classes and dedicated training, we aim to foster growth in martial arts and encourage more individuals to join our ever-expanding family.
