GLADIATOR MMA GYM
World Class MMA Training. Where Beginners become Champions. I have been training in martial arts since the age of 5. Teaching mixed martial arts to children and adults before Gladiator MMA Gym opened back in 2000. I’ve been fortunate enough to win a Professional World Mixed Martial Arts heavyweight Title. European Gracie Brazilian Jiu Jitsu invitational Champion, British Copa Bitetti Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Champion. International and Twice British San Shou Chinese Kickboxing Champion. I’ve trained and competed against some of the best fighters and organizations around the World. Styles like, Western Boxing, American kickboxing, Chinese kickboxing, Muay Thai Boxing, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Wrestling, Catch Wrestling, Submission Wrestling, Greco Roman Wrestling, Mixed Martial Arts, Karate, kung Fu, Weapons Fighting and Self Defence. It’s easy to call yourself a MMA gym but may have never competed in mixed martial arts professionally, or in any of the styles mentioned above. And have no credited self defense history in real World Class MMA fighting or real street fighting in Stoke-On-Trent. I have taken all the good bits that work in fights and taken away all the bad bits that don’t from personal experience in the cage and street. Experience is everything! The rest will be a great journey, and I will teach you the skills required physically and mentally to being a greater human being than you are already. Gain Confidence and Physical and Mental Strength, whilst at the same time gaining self defence skills and Friends with a support unit. I know, I’ve done this through my own personal mixed martial arts journey, which is still ongoing today. Unlike other Gyms we focus on a Holistic approach to martial arts. In Addition to learning fighting techniques we also help you to learn discipline, Confidence and a Strong mind.
