I had the privilege of training at Cambridge MMA for 7 months under the incredible guidance of Coach John and Dan. Due to an unforeseen relocation overseas, I had to take a pause, much to my dismay. Over the course of my journey, I've stepped foot in various MMA clubs, but none could quite capture the unique and effective teaching style of Cambridge MMA. What sets this Dojo apart is their scientific approach to teaching. They have this uncanny ability to meticulously break down even the most complex techniques into digestible parts. Not just that, their adept use of language to convey these techniques is unparalleled – something I've found to be a rarity in other gyms. I genuinely believe that with their innovative methodology, Cambridge MMA is on track to not just be the top MMA training facility in the UK, but also to rival the renowned Dojos in the US. For those aspiring to truly excel in MMA, this is undoubtedly the place to be. I can't recommend them highly enough!

Disgraceful membership policy. I went to one trial membership, emailed saying I don’t want to continue and was charged for £80 for another month. Absolutely disgraceful policies
