Steel City Martial Arts & Fitness Community

Steel City Martial Arts was founded in 1996 by Scott, a 4th Dan Master in Taekwondo, and has been a trusted and valued part of the Sheffield community for nearly three decades. Scott began his martial arts journey in 1990 under Master Andy Hill of Pilsung Taekwondo, and has since earned a belts in kickboxing and a black belt in Karate bringing a broad skillset and deep passion for teaching to the club.

Jo coaches alongside Scott and is a 3rd Dan black belt, Level 3 PT and exercise referral specialist, and began training under Scott and joined as a coach in 2000. Together, they have built an inclusive, family-friendly environment that welcomes individuals of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds.

Steel City Martial Arts has run classes across multiple Sheffield locations, including Ranmoor, Dore & Totley, Wadsley, Stannington, Crookes, and Crosspool. Our dedicated coaching team includes Phil, Ellie and Sammie, as well as Harry, Flo, and Esme—students who earned their black belts in 2024 and now assist in coaching, showing the strength of our club’s positive culture and retention.

We are proud of the supportive community we’ve created—one that helps individuals grow in confidence, feel good, and take pride in their achievements. For many, our club is more than just a place to train—it’s a place to belong.
