No experience needed, and your first session is free.
Rise MMA is our mixed martial arts programme built around modern combat techniques. It's the antidote to the treadmill: every session is a proper workout and teaches you genuine skills — striking, kicks, footwork, grappling, pad work, conditioning.
You set the intensity. Come to get fit, come to learn, come to train hard — the class scales to you.
Book a Free Session →You don't need to be fit, sporty or experienced to start. Beginners are welcome every single session, and our instructors break everything down so you're never lost.
As you progress you can push harder, work the pads, and build real combat ability — but you'll never be thrown in at the deep end. It's training without the ego.
If you've tried the gym and hated it, you're exactly who these classes are for.
Combat training burns serious calories, builds strength and coordination, and is genuinely fun — so you actually keep coming back. You'll get fitter, sharper and more confident without ever counting reps on a machine.
