Mat & Motion is an independent online magazine about martial arts, fitness and combat sports. We cover a wide range of arts and programmes to suit different ages and ability levels.
We write for adults who are thinking about their first class, for students who want to train between sessions, and for parents trying to choose the right programme for a child. On fight weekends we write for fans, including those who like to have a bet on the main event.
What we cover
- Programs: karate, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, kickboxing, kids' classes by age, kids' jiu-jitsu, obstacle racing, kata and sparring drills.
- Gym: conditioning, flexibility and home training plans.
- Recipes: breakfasts, recovery meals and snacks for active families.
- Fight Night: UFC, boxing and kickboxing markets, fighter analysis and Las Vegas fight culture.
- Training Library: sessions you can follow at home.
Independence
Mat & Motion is not a gym or club and does not run classes. We are not affiliated with any martial arts school, federation, promotion or sportsbook. This domain previously belonged to a local martial arts club; the publication you are reading now is separate from that club and has no connection to it. Promotion, venue and fighter names are used for information only and belong to their owners.
How we work
Our guides are written and checked by people who train. We use plain language, avoid hype and update articles when rules or facts change. Health and fitness content is general information, not medical advice, and results always depend on the individual.
