Frequently Asked Questions

Absolutely not! Just because you haven't been introduced to training combat sports sooner doesn't mean the ship has sailed. I train many beginners from ages 4 years old all the way up to people in their 50s.

Fitness will gradually come as a by product of training, no amount of running, weight training or weight loss program will prepare you for the real thing, The best thing to do is start as you are, take things at your own pace and improve from there as the type of fitness required only comes from DOING it.

All combat sports such as Boxing, MMA, Muay Thai, kickboxing, Jiu Jistu, Wrestling are the best for losing weight. a client of mine named Mikyle came to me 1 year ago at 198KG (31 stone) and has lost an astonishing 75KG (11 stone). Mikyle is still on his weight loss journey and is now an active competitor!

MMA is the most effective combat sport/martial art due to the nature of the sport itself. MMA takes the most effective techniques from all disciplines and mixes them into ones to create a well rounded form of self defence, hence the name "Mixed Martial Arts".

It takes a short amount of time with the right training to notice a big difference in your ability, fitness & strength. It doesn't take a lifetime to learn how to defend yourself however perfecting your craft can take a lifetime as you will never stop learning on your journey!
