Highly recommend this group. MARS welcomes everyone (from beginner to advanced) with classes for both adults and children. All instructors (and deputy instructors) are highly skilled, very approachable and keep the classes fun and interesting, teaching a variety of techniques from across multiple martial art disciplines.

This is a fabulous group. I’ve watched my children grow in strength, technique and confidence over the years with the support of those at MARS. They have always loved coming to train. I would thoroughly recommend this group.

I have stopped savate boxing 20 years ago where I represented Mauritius internationally. Then I was recommended by Dave to join MARS. To my surprise, I have learnt so many new moves since joining. Due to personal issues I had to leave, but it’s a great team to train with. Callum, Neil and the assistant instructors are very skilled and know their stuffs. Health and safety is taken as a priority and we have fun, be serious, and have a laugh. It’s another nice family to be with and train. I can’t fault the dedications and no moves were held back, they always do 1:1 to make sure we learn and practice the new moves. I would very very strongly recommend MARS mixed martial arts to anyone.
