Head Instructor: Tom Blackledge
We started as Blackledge Vale Tudo in the early 2000s, as one of the UK's first and original mixed martial arts clubs. Since then, we have moved to various premises as the sport, and the team, have grown exponentially over the last couple of decades. We have created many mma champions of various organisations from the UFC to Cagewarriors and more importantly have altered thousands of lives through the benefit of martial arts and our amazing uplifting community in the academy.
