Testimonials

The strength of club is in it's wonderful members - and we're proud that we have a wide group of people with different skills, abilities and goals all training together.

When Alice started training with us, we could see the fire inside just waiting for an opportunity to get out - and sure enough, she put the work in and made massive improvements.

"I started with low levels of confidence in my sporting ability. I'd always heard the words 'find what you enjoy!' when I complained about struggling to maintain an exercise regime. Running, swimming and team sports had left me dejected, and I never thought the highly technical art of 8 limbs would be the one for me - but thanks to the amazing (and patient) coaches, I was able to push through my anxieties and have found coming to classes invaluable for my mental and physical health.

I would encourage anyone who wants to improve their mood or health, or work on their confidence, to come to a class. A lot of my friends and family were very surprised when I took up Muay Thai as I am not the typical 'fighter' by any means, but starting was one of the best things I ever did."

Korbin trains in our jiu-jitsu and thaiboxing junior jaguars class, and also helps the younger students in tigers and lions. He's been training for 6 years, and has competed in both Jiu-jitsu and Thaiboxing.

"I like training in all the classes, but jiu-jitsu is my favourite and I'm much better at it than thaiboxing. Last year I really enjoyed going to Swindon and being taught by Robin Gracie at a special seminar. This year I'm aiming to get another gold medal in jiu-jitsu and hopefully earn my next belt.

Having friends you like training with really helps when you feel like playing the xbox instead of going to class, because you know they'll ask where you were and you don't want to let them down. Then when you get started, you have fun and you're glad you did come to training.
