Kaiju Martial Arts is a martial arts school in Wakefield owned and operated by Ben and Nichola Thatcher. The business delivers confidence-building martial arts classes for children aged 2 and upwards, as well as dedicated adult programmes for those 18+.
The school caters to families seeking a structured activity that develops their children beyond physical fitness, and adults looking for an engaging alternative to conventional gym routines. Their programmes span Micro Mini Monsters (ages 2-3), Mini Monsters, Juniors, Cadets and Adult Martial Arts, with specialised Ladies Only classes also available. They additionally offer birthday party hosting.
What distinguishes Kaiju Martial Arts is their explicit focus on personal development alongside technical training. The instructors emphasise life skills—confidence, discipline and focus—designed to benefit students across all aspects of their lives, not merely within the dojo. This philosophy reflects the owners' own transformative experiences in martial arts during childhood, which motivated them to establish this school.
The business positions itself as genuinely inclusive: "anyone can begin martial arts—any age, any fitness level." Client testimonials highlight the family-oriented atmosphere, with members describing how they're treated as family from day one. The teaching team, including instructors and International Instructor Trainees (IIT members), provides support extending beyond martial arts instruction, creating a genuine community environment rather than a transactional fitness facility.
