About 5TMA Martial Arts Academy
Martial Arts with a Purpose | Taekwondo for All Ages in Lincolnshire
Welcome to 5TMA, a family-focused taekwondo academy based in Brigg & Hull, for everyone across Lincolnshire.
More Than Just a Martial Arts Club
At 5TMA, our team of experienced Black Belt instructors has been guiding students in Brigg and the wider North Lincolnshire area for years. We’ve built a reputation for being a family-friendly martial arts academy where every student — from energetic 5-year-olds to adults looking for fitness and self-defence — can feel welcome and supported.
A Martial Arts Community for All
At 5TMA (5 Tenets Martial Arts), we go beyond kicks and belts. Our mission is to make high-quality Taekwondo accessible to everyone — children, teens, and adults — regardless of experience or ability. We believe in the lasting value of martial arts as a tool for personal growth, family connection, and inner strength.
Training with us isn’t about competing with others; it’s about becoming the best version of yourself. Through structured Taekwondo classes, we help children build confidence and focus, support teens in developing resilience and discipline, and give adults a positive way to improve fitness, reduce stress, and learn valuable self-defence skills.
Whether you’re local to Brigg or travelling from Scunthorpe, Hull, or surrounding villages, 5TMA offers a safe and inclusive place to begin or continue your martial arts journey. Join our community today and see why so many families choose 5TMA as their Taekwondo academy of choice.

Our experienced black belt instructors bring passion, patience, and decades of combined experience to every class. Each member of the team is DBS-checked, qualified in safeguarding, and dedicated to helping every student succeed at their own pace.

People should join because it’s a place where you can become a new person and be able to find something you enjoy and be inspired to become better every day, and always find ways to improve. I think it’s different to other clubs because of how a lot of the people are supportive and can help you with a lot of things, and can be a 2nd family to people. And we also have a good amount of discipline and can make people into better people, and work hard to become the best they can.
