Our gym

A working fight gym that welcomes complete beginners.

Two rings, a full cage, eighteen bags and a strength floor. Half the room is preparing for a bout, the other half has never thrown a punch, and both are coached properly.

How we coach

Skill first, sparring later.

Nobody spars in their first eight weeks. Beginners learn stance, guard, footwork and defence on pads and bags until the movement holds up under mild pressure.

  • Eight-week beginner course before any contact work
  • Technical sparring supervised by a coach at all times
  • Wraps and gloves available to borrow for a first month
  • Strength and conditioning included in every membership
  1. Week 1 to 2Stance, guard, footwork and the straight punches.
  2. Week 3 to 6Combinations, defence, pad rounds and bag conditioning.
  3. Week 7 to 8Light technical drills with a partner, then into general classes.
The facility

Three floors, built for combat sport.

Everything is set up so a class of twenty can train without queuing for equipment.

About the gym

Do I need to be fit before I start?

No. The beginner course is built for people starting from nothing, and the conditioning is scaled to the room.

Is there a womens-only session?

Yes, three times a week, coached by Nadia and open to all levels.

Can I watch a class before joining?

Absolutely. Come to reception during any evening session and a coach will show you around.
