One Mind Martial Arts Academy has been selected as The Best Martial Arts Studio in West Lothian for 2023

Questions we were asked at the awards

Give a brief overview of your business, including size and geographical reach?


At One Mind Martial Arts Academy we teach the Traditional Korean Martial Arts Mirae Kuk Sool. We rebranded to One Mind Martial Arts Academy in 2002 after joining a new association UMKS and began our new exciting journey. We are based in Polbeth, West Calder and cover all areas of West Lothian including East Calder, Mid Calder, Bathgate, Edinburgh, Falkirk and other surrounding areas. We currently have 130 students at present from ages 3 all the way up to adult. We are a family run business which was established in 2004.


The Martial Arts that we teach covers all aspects of martial arts including joint locking, kicking, hand strikes, meditation, weapons, pressure points, sparring, breakfalls, acrobatics, self-defence, strengthening and conditioning. Practicing the martial arts can help improve mental and general well-being, confidence, self-esteem, concentration, focus, fitness, discipline whilst relieving stress.



Who would be most interested in your services?


Individuals that want to focus more on their own development

Individuals that would like to be part of a free thinking /non judging community

Anyone looking to improve self-esteem/anxiety or confidence

People who are looking to get fit and become more active

With our family classes it means families can train together in a fun, positive atmosphere, and it’s a great thing to do together.



What do you consider to be the outstanding points of the products/services you offer?


We can transfer people’s lives by giving them the confidence and self-assurance to make positive changes with their lives. We teach people the art of self-defence without the need for violence. We teach kids how to focus their attention on any given task and the meaning of respect. Master John also does after school clubs within West Lothian which has had such a great impact on the kids.



What is your long-term strategy/future objectives or are you launching anything new?


Our long term strategies at One Mind are to build our school and the martial arts organisation. To offset the damage covid has done to bring some happiness and peace through the practice of Mirae Kuk Sool. To develop a larger community that nourishes and supports one and other.
