⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ • a year ago

Highly recommend taking this class to all! There are so many good talking points about coming and studying defence with Mark so it’s kinda hard to dive into all of them otherwise this will become an essay so: Should you come to these classes - YEAH! There fun, informative, and great workout, your gonna learn about yourself and your body, you’ll see growth in your skills (and that’s an amazing feeling). There isn’t a sense of ego in these classes, there isn’t the big fish vs the little fish scenario, it’s just good people who all want to test themselves and grow. Oh also you’re gonna shred fat!

have been training Submission grappling with Mark for the past 18 months and have recently started MMA. I can safely say that Mark has brought his systematic approach to MMA, I feel safe as a beginner learning the techniques and safe sparring techniques. Great club both instructors and students. I have trained at many clubs around the clubs and in my opinion this place is up there with the best of them. Keep up the good work Mark

Super friendly atmosphere with coaching open for all levels, Mark focuses a lot on fundamentals which covers all aspects of striking and grappling for mma which has been super helpful for me as a beginner. The classes manage to fit a lot in the time frame given and Mark is meticulous in making sure correct technique is used, always explaining the context and reasoning for everything taught. Would 100% recommend for all levels of experience.
