2024 has been a transformative year for Gamefight Wakefield, marked by significant growth, facility upgrades, and outstanding competition achievements.

Gym Expansion

Scheduled for January 2025, we will be expanding to a larger, upgraded space, on the floor above our current gym, providing an enhanced environment for both new and experienced martial artists. With the addition of new mat space and changing rooms, the gym is better equipped to accommodate our growing membership and create a comfortable, top-tier training atmosphere.

Expanded Classes & Membership Growth

We’ve also expanded our class timetable, offering more options for members of all ages and abilities. The introduction of kids' classes has been especially well-received, contributing to a steady increase in our overall membership. We are proud to see more young athletes joining the Gamefight community. More information on the new timetable can be found here
