Hi, I'm Luke
HEAD COACH/FOUNDER
With a black belt in Judo, brown belt in BJJ and over 10 professional fights under my belt, I've invested the past 21 years training, learning and competing across all forms of Martial Arts.
By training and competing in so many different disciplines I've had to start back at day one multiple times! As a coach now I see the value in a fundamentals approach in order to speed up the progress.
The aim is simple. Clear up the confusion that comes with learning a new skill, set the foundations and help foster other people's interest and love for the sport in order to grow and develop on and off the mats.
