Covering striking arts, including Boxing, Kickboxing and Muay Thai. Learn and practice a fusion of techniques and principles drawn from the history of martial arts.
Each week we focus on a specific area, ranging from offensive striking to specific footwork patterns. Each session will involve group activation drills, technical work with other students and half an hour of sparring to finish.
This class is for competitors and is therefore invite only.
ADVANCED STRIKING
OUR CLASSES
01
BOXING
MONDAY
18:00 - 19:00
The Monday boxing class is a chance for our team to start the week how we mean to go on. This session is geared towards an intermediate level student.
During this class we work on a lot of fundamentals but also include some advanced concepts which allows our students to expand their knowledge and capabilities.
The class consists of a group warm up, some techniques on the pads or partner drills with a circuit style training to finish.
The class has very limited sparring so emphasis is put on technique and fitness.
02
MMA MONDAY
MONDAY
19:00 - 20:00
The Monday night MMA class gives all our students a chance to reinforce some of MMA’s essential techniques. Following our sparring sessions on the Saturday, Monday nights are used to cover some of the areas that need attention and give the students confidence going into the training week ahead.
Much like the boxing class there is limited sparring and emphasis is put on establishing solid technique.
This class is for intemediate and above so students attending this class must have a good foundation with their striking and grappling.

INTERMEDIATE
STRIKING
TUESDAY
19:30 - 20:45
The intermediate class serves as the bridge between our foundation and advanced classes, catering to students with some experience in MMA who are ready to take their skills to the next level. Like the advanced class, each session starts with a dynamic group warm-up and activation to prepare students for the training ahead.
Focused on building their techniques and understanding of the striking arts, the intermediate class delves into a variety of offensive striking and specific footwork patterns, providing a well-rounded curriculum.
Technical work with other students plays a pivotal role, allowing participants to refine their existing skills and learn new ones in a collaborative environment. As students’ progress through the intermediate class, the emphasis gradually shifts towards the practical application of techniques, setting the stage for potential lower-level interclub competitions.
The session will end with sparring, offering an opportunity for students
to test and further develop their skills, preparing them for the possibility of competing at a higher level in the future. For those uncertain about their placement, attending the foundation class remains an excellent starting point, allowing our coaches to assess and guide individuals toward the most suitable training path.
PERSONAL TRAINING
One to one coaching sessions are a great way to accelerate your MMA progress and fitness. Coaches are able to give their undivided attention to clients, coaching and developing their skills much faster. It also means students get to have a very tailored experience and in turn allows them to focus on their goals, whether that be weight loss, technical improvements, or a specific martial art.
Clients are also able to gain first-hand experience from head coach Adam Apex.

GRAPPLING
THURSDAY
19:30 - 20:45
Our intermediate grappling class is for individuals seeking to bridge the gap between the fundamentals and the advanced concepts of grappling in MMA. Tailored for those with some grappling experience, this class provides a balance between honing essential techniques and expanding the students repertoire. As students progress from the foundational movements, they gradually move on to more complex
grappling scenarios, emphasising escapes and transitioning seamlessly into initiating their own submissions. The structured curriculum ensures a steady progression, making it an ideal choice for those eager to enhance their grappling proficiency within
MMA. The class maintains the usual structure.
FOUNDATION
STRIKING
TUESDAY
21:00 - 22:00

The foundation class is very similar in structure. The session starts with a group warm up and activation. Similarly, a handful of techniques are drilled during the class with a focus on technique. Students are given time to refine their skills. Once they have progressed onto the advanced class, emphases will weigh more heavily on the application of techniques.
Each sessions ends with optional lights rounds of sparring.
ADVANCED
GRAPPLING
THURSDAY
18:00 - 19:30
05
This class is a fusion of all the grappling arts involved in MMA. Including but not limited to BJJ, freestyle wrestling and Judo. With MMA in mind, we have selected techniques and principles that will provide every advantage in competitive grappling exchanges. As the scope for grappling is so wide, a weekly topic is chosen which can range from cage wrestling to submissions on the floor.
The usual structure of the class is a group warm up, techniques with a partner and rounds of grappling to finish.
These classes provide an introduction into grappling. Students will be taken through some of the fundamental movements and slowly encouraged into grappling scenarios where they can put into practice what they have learned. We see that beginners tend to find themselves in bad spots more regularly, so with this in mind students will usually focus on escapes, gradually moving onto submissions of their own.
The class is great for people starting out or for the more advanced that are looking to brush up on the basics.

The Sunday grappling class focuses on refining essential techniques and situational awareness through a combination of drills, sparring and intense exercises.
Sundays emphasise technique enhancement and tactical understanding. This works along side controlled sparring sessions to apply learned skills in real-time scenarios.
Through targeted drills and supportive yet challenging training environments, students strengthen their grappling fundamamantels.
This class is open to all levels.
SUNDAY
13:00-14:30
07
These MMA sessions are a chance for our students to put together the skills they have learned over the week. Rather than having the striking and grappling disciplines as two separate entities, in these classes students will work on transitions from striking to grappling and vice-versa.
Focusing on areas such as punches into takedowns, cage wrestling and everything in-between.
Our 9-10 class is for intermediate level students so they must have a foundation in both striking and grappling.
Our 10-11:30 class is advanced and this for competitors. Like the Advanced striking and grappling classes, this is invite only.
Sessions starts with a group warm up, partner drills and finishes with MMA sparring.
The MMA sessions include more sparring than the other sessions during the week.
