No good. Rolling area is too small and overcrowded. Coach was weird. I got hurt here and shoulder has never been the same since

An incredible community, with excellent and highly skilled coaches that make you feel part of the family since day 1. Everyone is welcoming, kind and always willing to help - which are the exact features of a successful, family martial arts gym! Highly recommended for people of all levels. More...

A great oldschool martial arts gym, a rare find in today's world full of boxing-based HIIT clubs. It has now reopened after the lockdown (despite the description, which should be updated). UWA offers small classes with coaches who pay close attention to every student. I have taken Kes's MMA and thai box classes and Sebastian's no gi BJJ, both of them are great, friendly and knowledgable with extensive experience and competitive fighting career/background. For beginners - as some reviews point out - the first couple of classes might be really hard, but that's how you progress. Just keep coming back for more and in few weeks you'll make friends with your training partners - some are proper porfessional fighters - learn a lot and will feel at home. New classes added on a regular basis so it makes sense to enquire about the current schedule. More...

Very clean, energetic, inspiring, full of positive vibes and a happy place! It's not like the usual gyms where you are just somebody training on your own, in here you are important, you are part of the family, you are not alone and you get all the help you need to reach your goal! ! Absolutely, highly, definitely recommended. More...

If you seriously want to improve you fighting techniques coming down is a must. I have had many trainers in the past and confidently can say he's the best I've had. So Don't wait around. S

Teaching is a gift that only a chosen few have... and Kez is one of them. I had the fortune of having him as my very first MMA coach!
He enlightened me divinely! Love his down to earth approach of training. He not only trains your body but he also trains your mind along with it.
"I am moving back to South London, so will knocking at your door soon, Kez."

After taking up MMA almost 2 years ago Kes has helped me improve by miles in terms of my striking. He's helped me break through boundaries I didn't even know were there and even helped push me towards an amateur fight soon.
Highly recommend.

A lot of sexist language is used. The culture in some classes is agressive, violent and misogynistic. Very little help is given to beginners. In some cases beginners are not taught basic techniques like how to protect themselves when falling or sparring. This put beginners at serious risk of having an accident. More...

I've been training here for a year now, really good gym hidden away in Vauxhall. Great facilities, brilliant instruction and reasonable pricing. Well worth checking out if you're looking to get into Filipino or Western boxing, MMA or muay thai. More...

I absolutely love this place. I'm well and truly hooked on BJJ.
The atmosphere is amazing. Everyone is so friendly and supportive.
I was a nervous beginner (and still am) but I immediately found comfort amongst the instructors and students. The vibe is almost family like. Couldn't recommend it highly enough.

I get the vibe of the place which is friendly and buzzy and idiot free with a nice working class feel. What I didn't get was the rude instructor I met from the other class going on at the same time. My usual Krav class at a different gym was off this week due to the instructor training in Israel so I thought I'd give this a go. This instructor was a nice guy but the technique and style seemed a little odd or mixed or not what I was used to or have seen in the Krav videos.Back to my usual class next week where the technique is stressed upon and the fitness is unbelievably tough in comparison.

This is the first fight gym I have ever attended and I love it! I have always wanted to learn some kind of practical street fighting/self defence and the Krav Maga and the Dirty Boxing classes offer just that. The step by step, logical approach to the classes really teaches techniques that work and that become second nature.I always assumed I would be able to defend myself if it came to it but I now walk around feeling certain that should someone try to hit me I would be able to not only avoid the hit but would damage my attacker in the process. If someone pulled a knife on me it wouldn't turn out well for them!Good people. Great instructors. Lots of fun! More...
