I can’t say enough great things about Ignite! From the moment I stepped into Ignite, I knew I was in the right place. Igor is not only an incredibly skilled martial artist but also a phenomenal instructor who truly cares about every student’s progress. The ability Igor has to break down techniques, provide personalised feedback, and push you to be your best is second to none. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced martial artist, Igor creates an environment that is both challenging and supportive. The technical skills, discipline, confidence and mindset I’ve developed under their guidance has been life changing, not only as a fighter but also as a coach. If you’re looking for a martial arts coach who is passionate, knowledgeable, and truly invested in your growth, look no further. Highly recommend!

Myself and my 8 year old son joined last year ( 2024 ) it was the best thing we could have done! It’s been absolutely amazing for mine and my son’s fitness, confidence and discipline. Whatever your goal may be, If you’re interested in competing or just interested in the training I highly recommend ignite! The team at ignite and the coach Igor are absolutely amazing for adults and kids!

I am training here right now, and I need to say that Igor is the man! He pours passion into everything he does and says. The gym is also simply amazing. The fellas that train there are super friendly and incredibly hard-working. Ignite is by miles better than all other gyms that I've been to. I love the gym and the community surrounding it. It's like a second home! Blessed.
