Pretty cool to be nominated for gym of the year.
The team and coaches have worked hard together since we opened our doors last March.
We are going up the levels this year with competition and constantly building for the future to give students the best and safest facility to learn martial arts, get fit and meet new friends in.

This ain’t a cult gym.
We don’t bow at edge of mat and call the coach Sensei, we don’t clap together after every demo and we aren’t motivated by money.
We wont promote you for simply showing up to class, don’t care if you’ve trained with us for years, either you’re skill level is good enough to be promoted to or it’s not and we will always be honest with that and tell you what you need to improve on.
Same if you ever want to compete in the cage.
You’re either good enough to represent in competition or you simply need more training. Everything in this gym will be earned not just giving for attendance or time spent.

We do train hard and work hard for each other, we build each other up as a team. Sessions can be tough but if you’re serious in what you want then it’s exactly what you need. We can always get that little more out of you, trust me.

Standards are set from the moment you walk in the door. Respect the gym, show up ON time, be a good team mate, don’t take liberties, put your bottles in the bin, wear your sliders off the mat to name a few.

Our experience, results and feedback speak for themselves.

See you at work.
