AMAG continues to go from strength to strength, and the academy now also hosts Kimura CrossFit, with an increased range of gym facilities and classes. Excellent, friendly, and knowledgeable coaches in various martial arts and training methods make it feel more like a second family than a place of suffering for fitness.
I cannot recommend this gym enough I have a condition called cerebral palsy and because of that I am in a wheelchair all the people here have been very helpful adaptive and accommodating in helping me in my Silat and Brazilian jiu jitsu training!
Brilliant place to train a variety of martial arts - Brazilian jiu jitsu, muay thai, kali.... Kids and adult classes run by highly knowledgeable and caring instructors. Very friendly and supportive vibe. Soon to be offering CrossFit training at the enlarged facility.
Having decided to start BJJ at the age of 47, I could not have chosen a better place to learn from.
Everyone is very welcoming and friendly.
The instructors are extremely knowledgeable and approachable.
You will become fitter/stronger both mentally and physically from your time at this gym.

I’ve trained at this club in the past whenever living in Aberdeen. Always loved the members and coaches who you immediately look forward to seeing from one day to the next. I can only speak for BJJ, however I am aware that the club’s affiliation to the other arts come from the highest levels (Kali, CSW etc). The BJJ coaches each have their own methods and teaching styles so you get a great range of talent and experience in each class but ensuring a grasp of the fundamentals as well as more technical jiujitsu. A lot of clubs seem to lose connection to their routes/lineage but I was always proud at AMAG to be connected through Peter Richardson to Rey Diogo, Carlson Gracie Jr. and of course the late Great Carlson Gracie himself.
Trained here for a long time and has a great vibe with excellent training facilities.
Friendly atmosphere where you could train for fun or take it to competition level. Made so many friends over the years training here and my skillet has grown tremendously.

My 3 children are all members of Aberdeen Martial Arts Group, from moment my children walked through the door of the gym they were greeted by friendly and knowledgeable instructors. The atmosphere in the gym is extremely welcoming and inclusive which makes it a great place to learn for each of their individual skill levels.
Recently two of my children competed in an event and the addition training and instruction that they were given to prepare them for the event was exceptional. One of my children in particular increase in levels of fitness, confidence and ability has been amazing.
I genuinely cannot recommend Aberdeen Martial Arts Group enough to any parent that wants to get their children into Martial Arts.

My son has been training here for over a year now, I can't believe the change in him both physically and mentally. Obviously he is stronger and fitter but it's his mental attitude change that has impressed me the most. He is doing better at school, is more focused in general. I truly believe this is a direct result of training and learning his Thai and BJJ. Great club and great mentors for a teenage boy. Thanks guys.
Great gym! Instructors are highly skilled and able to support participants from beginner to advanced. Peter and leigh have created a great atmosphere at the gym and are also responsible for bringing over world class instructors to Aberdeen to deliver seminars.
I am massively impressed with this club and its instructors. We are new to the area but not new to martial arts clubs, we’ve moved around a lot.
I have three kids enrolled all at different levels including, one switched on boy that needs challenge, a daughter that talks too much in class and a boy that’s very shy to get involved and the coaches have met their needs appropriately and enthusiastically in all cases.
The atmosphere encouraged me to get back on the mat after a long lay off and I wasn’t disappointed. Great coaching, great training partners. It’s always daunting going to a new gym and already having a blue belt is sometimes seen as a target but that wasn’t my experience here. Great tough but controlled rolls, students represent the instructors. I’m looking forward to continuing my journey here.
