WE ARE MATRIX
We’re a modern day martial arts school built on the principles of growth, balance and inclusivity – working with our students to develop personal strength, confidence and resilience at all levels. Physically, mentally and emotionally.
And most importantly, we have an absolute blast doing it.
Sensei Jake Johnson, world champion 5th Dan Black Belt, kickstarted Matrix in 2020 with Sensei Jackie Sheldon, 3rd Dan. Since then, it’s fast become one of the most popular martial arts training destinations in Glossop and Matrix won Fitness Business of the Year in Glossop and the High Peak in 2026 (and has been certified as a Club of Excellence).
But don’t just take our word for it – see our students in action.
