    MKM is an inspirational club providing training on the essential life skill of self defence. The club atmosphere is led by coaches with good character including passion, enthusiasm, discipline, integrity, an inclusive attitude and genuine interest in others resulting in a welcoming and supporting environment. The club itself is well equipped with multiple gym stations, weights etc, ropes training area and a dedicated matted floor space where classes take place. The club is clean and coaches take pride in the cleanliness and upkeep of the facilities. There are a variety of both adults and juniors sessions including a women’s only session. Attending a self defence class for the first time can be daunting especially when it can be a personal journey and a specific skill sought out but I would 100% encourage anyone who is interested to give it a try. The club is a community and members are supportive of one another. For any parents considering this for their child, I wish it’s something which had been around when I was growing up so I could have ploughed hours into a functional self-esteem, survival and self preservation skill rather than aesthetic performance sports / activities.

    Fantastic place and fantastic people. I started having PT sessions with Ben as during COVID and lockdown my confidence was in my boots. I had done a little kick boxing in the past but nothing serious and certainly nothing like this. Late 2024 and at the grand old age of 59 just before my 60th, I joined the club.... everyone is friendly, it's hard work but it's also fun....no egos at all, Sam says hello to each and every member, I can honestly say it's the best decision I ever made. It has a fully equipped gym, a ring and fantastic combat area. Junior classes also and a women's only class, and believe me every woman should come and do this and learn to defend yourself. If I can do it, on my own, at my age, then anyone can.

    An incredible self-defense academy! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed by a group of passionate, highly skilled, and supportive individuals. The instructors are not only exceptionally well-trained but also genuinely care about each student’s progress. The classes are engaging, empowering, and an amazing way to relieve stress. Plus, the location is convenient, with free parking—just another bonus! I’m so grateful to be part of this fantastic community.

    Class place to train, Welcoming environment by both instructors and students. Instructors are bang on and the facilities are top also. Very clean and well kitted out. It’s ideal for me just to go couple of times a week to switch off and not have to think about what I’m going to do for training. Also learning skills for life. Thanks to Sam and the team - worth every penny spent.

    I can't stress enough how awesome MKM is. I'm not the type to easily warm up in a room full of strangers, but everyone there, from the instructors to fellow participants, just makes you feel so comfortable with their smiles and friendly chatter. It might sound cheesy, but it truly feels like being part of a family. And let me tell you, the skills you pick up there are absolutely priceless.

    ‘A ship is always safe at shore, but that is not what it is built for’ Albert Einstein For me, the heart of this quote signifies the very essence of MKM. MKM has consistently pushed me out of my comfort zone. It is most definitely a club that does not allow you to stay safe in still waters. MKM removes the anchor and pushes you to see what lies beyond the horizon. MKM challenges you to be better, to be stronger, to be more resilient, to be more motivated. MKM has taught me a great deal and I am constantly learning, brief examples are: Prepares you with the mind-set and physical skills, injecting realism into the training delivered, trains you to act under pressure, helps you to develop control, teaches you to use your mind to train your body to automatically and instinctively respond to danger, repetition, depositing into our brains memory bank and to understand the human body i.e. vulnerable targets. Sam is a rare talent, he brings a wealth of knowledge, experience, skill set and expertise to the table. His teaching methods are unique, you always know you are being taught by an exceptional and gifted individual. Sam is a former Royal Marine, you always sense his military background which he injects into his teaching methods. And what greater honour is there, than to be taught by someone who has served our country. Ian, Simon and Ben offer so much support and are always willing to help in any way that they can. Nothing is too much trouble for them. Their kindness and support are a real reflection of MKM as a club, the warmth and generosity of its instructors. The members are wonderful, always helping each other. A real sense of unity between people. Sam has created a unique club which encompasses so much warmth and training of the highest standard. I have been a member for the past 19 months and I have watched the club go from strength to strength. It was by far the best decision I ever made to join MKM as it is exactly where I was meant to be. MKM helps you to steer that metaphorical ship away from the shore, ejecting you from your comfort zone. Everybody could benefit from this true gem of a club.

    My son goes here and he loves it. He was a very shy lad and did not mingle well with other kids, but since starting at this club he has gained so much confidence and made many new friends. I can not thank them enough for what they have done for him.

  2. Brad Hardaker ★★★★★

    Fantastic club! No egos, so you’re guaranteed a friendly welcome. The instructors are so supportive and passionate about what they do, which drives you to do better. The knowledge and experience of the instructors and fellow members is incredible! For self-defence, look no further.

    Fantastic club, fantastic members based around a fantastic family ethos set by the instructors. Friendly, and non judgemental, great for beginners and/or experienced practitioners, really is something for everyone. Also a second to non physio support.
