A Unique Approach to MMA Personal Training

Each session is tailored to you, and what you. personally want to gain from the sessions. Some clients want to gain more confidence in a real-life situation, and so the focus is often on the fastest way to avoid/resolve a conflict and escape. Most people don’t really want to fight, and so avoid it if necessary. However, if you find yourself in a situation, it’s nice to know you have something to fall back on should you need it.

Wing Chun in particular is one of the most useful martial arts for a fight/flight scenario, possibly against multiple attackers.

My Martial Arts Background

Your training is guided by a highly experienced instructor with a diverse background in martial arts, including:

  • Wing Chun – The foundation of my training and teaching. Wing Chun is a close-combat system known for speed, precision, and practical efficiency. I also teach Wing Chun through my Wing Chun school in Leeds.
  • Judo – Close quarters throws and grappling
  • Karate – Traditional striking, discipline, and power generation.
  • Taekwondo – Dynamic kicking techniques and athletic movement.
  • Ninjitsu – Strategy, awareness, and unconventional defence methods.
  • Aikido – Redirection, joint control, and calm response to aggression.
  • Kali / Escrima – Filipino weapon-based training that sharpens reflexes, coordination, and adaptability.

By combining principles from all these systems, I offer a truly mixed martial arts (MMA) training experience that’s practical, adaptable, and rooted in real-world effectiveness.

What You’ll Gain from MMA Personal Training

  • Functional Drills – combat-based movement, to install reflective response through drills
  • Improved Reflexes – Develop fast reactions and precise timing
  • Confidence & Focus – Boost mental resilience and awareness.
  • Practical Skills – Learn techniques that work in real-life situations;
  • Customised Training – Each session is designed around your current ability and long-term goals.
  • De-escalation and avoidance skills – avoiding an incident is far better than getting out of one!
