Mick massively values technique and teaching you the correct way to do things, highlighting each students' issues, where they might be going wrong and what to do to change that. In turn, this allows for a better understanding of how to do things properly. The training environment is enjoyable and not so busy that you miss out on direct one to one with Mick, he ensures there is time to teach everyone. Highly recommend Micks services, he knows what he's doing, and he knows why he does it.Posted on Google![]()

I've been really fortunate to find this club. Mick is a formidable martial artist and has gained solid experience across many styles, including in a competitive position. Today a peaceful, kind and decent family man, I personally appreciate that he also brings with him a street savvy background and gritty experience of encountering and surviving violent episodes as a young man. I have been in a few clubs where the theory seems good, but looking back, many of the things I learnt would have been pretty useless in a real life situation. I have trained in both MMA and Krav Maga with Mick. His classes are always engaging, you learn a lot, and have fun too. Thanks JimmyPosted on Google![]()

Mick truly has a brilliant mind for fighting, he looks at things from the perspective of what actually works in reality as opposed from a purist martial arts point of view ( which he does teach too).Tons of experience across various disciplines BJJ, muay thai, krav maga, boxing, wrestling... I am so glad that Mick happened to be the person I went with as I'm afraid I would not possess the same skills I have today under anyone else's tuition. His classes aren't massive seminars where 20+ students are all shown a move then have to hope to remember it. They are smaller, more intimate classes and he makes time to help everyone, because of this structure I feel my learning was greatly accelerated due to this extra attention. I could not ask for a better instructor. He has taught me techniques and shown me details that will stick with me for life and above all he is a fun, honest guy and for that I will always recommend him.Posted on Google![]()

My experience at this martial arts school last year has been nothing short of fantastic. Mick, the instructor, brings a blend of enthusiasm and expertise that makes every session enjoyable and rewarding. What I appreciate most about Mick's teaching style is his ability to challenge us while keeping things enjoyable. Whether we're diving into MMA techniques or practicing Krav Maga self-defense, Mick finds the perfect balance between pushing us to improve and ensuring we enjoy the process. The atmosphere at the school is friendly and inclusive, with students of all levels supporting each other's progress. It's a place where you can feel comfortable stepping out of your comfort zone and trying something new, knowing that you have a supportive community behind you. Overall, I highly recommend Mick's school to anyone interested in martial arts or self-defense. Whether you're a beginner or have previous experience, you'll find a welcoming environment and top-notch instruction that will help you grow both physically and mentally.Posted on Google![]()

Mick is a great instructor with a unique and professional approach. His classes are held in a clean and safe environment with all the latest equipment you could need. The structure of his classes is what I like most of all, teaching at a speed determined by you and your abilities. Mick has an expansive knowledge of martial arts. The instruction is very thorough and everything you are asked to do is explained in great detail. If you are thinking about joining a club for training, self defense, or just for fun, I highly recommend getting in touch with Mick, who is always happy to answer your questions.Load more
