BEGINNERS MMA
Thursday 20:00- 21:00
Our Mixed Martial Arts classes are suitable for men and women of all ages and abilities. We cater for people just wanting a good workout to those who have aspirations of stepping in the cage one day. We draw from many fighting systems including Boxing, Kick / Thai Boxing, Wrestling, Catch Wrestling, Judo and Ju Jitsu. One of our main philosophies is that a chain is only as strong as it weakest link. This is why we train in all the fight ranges. This gives us the ability if we are facing someone who is better at a certain range, we can take them to a different range where we are stronger. STRIKE FIT
Thursday 19:00 - 20:00
StrikeFit is a fitness based striking class that combines the techniques and pad work drills of Boxing and Martial Arts with functional exercise. This is not a fighting class and there will be no sparring. We are a very friendly club with a great vibe and there are no egos. Everyone is welcome and will be well looked after. The class is suitable for men and women of all ages and abilities. If you are a complete beginner looking to get into shape; an experienced Martial Artist who wants to supplement their training or someone who is into their fitness and wants a change from the norm, this is a great class for you. REALITY BASED MARTIAL ARTS
(Coming soon)
We are heavily influenced by the principles and philosophies developed by the legendary Geoff Thompson. Head Instructor Wayne Poulter is one of a small number of people who had the privilege to have trained regularly with Geoff and was awarded a Black Belt from him. All of the training we do is based on Practical Martial Arts, meaning that the principles and techniques we use has been tested in the pavement arena. Wayne has a vast experience of dealing with violence. For over 12 years he was an Enforcement agent (Bailiff) and a Door supervisor. This experience gives him an unique understanding of reality, that he applies to his teaching. "Wayne Poulter is one of the best people I have ever taught, a powerful Martial Artist and and an amazing man. I highly recommend him." Geoff Thompson, 8th Dan. PRIVATE 1-2-1 LESSONS
