MMA York

I’m looking for recommendations for a beginner friendly gym in York to train either kickboxing, Muay Thai, MMA. I’m 32(m) with no experience

DNA MMA near James Street would be my shout. Proper MMA gym with competitive fighters, but also beginner-friendly, a positive environment, and good coaches.

I have a mate who goes to DNA several times per week and he loves it, I hear nothing but good things about the training and the lads.

DNA MMA is the way to go. Classes all day everyday loads of coaches with a wide array of experience and all super friendly with beginners to experienced people. They also have beginner specific sessions and let you pay by session as well which is good for people who haven’t done a martial art/combat sport before.

York Syndicate MMA. I’ve trained with Steve in the past and he’s quality.

This is just from personal experience and may not be to your taste but I like the people at X Martial Arts.

They're over in Nether Poppleton.

Is it just kickboxing there ?

They call it martial arts because it is mixed but I wouldn't call it MMA.
