Develop The Mind, Body and Spirit
Since time immemorial martial artists and warriors have known a great secret that by training to defend yourself you become more peaceful. Why? Because when you train in martial arts you are training your mind, body and spirit. The first two are the vehicles that carry the third, and all martial arts work and develop these three areas sometimes without the students knowing that this is being developed until they reach a stage of enlightenment.
Why Martial Art Concepts?
The Deeper Meaning
We’ve recently rebranded after 20 years, taking the time to reflect on what our logo represents.
We wanted to have it look like a shield, for protection. We wanted to keep the Yin-Yang, a symbol used by Bruce Lee to represent the interchangeability and duality of life and combat and rooted in the history and tradition of martial arts.
We wanted to keep the red and yellow colours as homage to the original JKD (Jeet Kune Do) colours. Red for happiness, success and good fortune. Yellow for freedom from material needs - symbolising power and royalty. We wanted flames to represent fire's ability to nurture but also destroy (more duality), to keep us warm but also to drive us away with its power.
And we wanted to symbolise the rebirth, the regeneration, the renewal after such a long unprecedented layoff. So, we added the phoenix the mythical bird of; Renewal, rebirth, power, strength, transformation. In ancient Rome it symbolised perpetual continuation and indomitable strength. In China, Balance, duality and polarity. A cycle of destruction, creation and fresh beginnings. The idea that the end is only the new beginning.

What Do Our Students Say?
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!
Nikki Student & Parent
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.
Julie Student
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.
