What would you like to work on?
You don’t need to be experienced or competition-ready. We’ll build the session around what you want to learn and where you are now.
BJJ & no-gi
Build your foundations, improve escapes, retain your guard or work on a position that keeps causing problems. Explore a game that suits your body and experience.
Kickboxing & MMA
Develop your stance, footwork, punches, kicks and defence. Learn the mechanics, practise on pads and build towards applying your skills with control.
Self-defence
Work on awareness, distance, practical striking and grappling skills. Build confidence through progressive practice tailored to your starting point.
Coaching that gives you something to build on.
I started BJJ in my forties. I’m still training, coaching and competing, and I understand how much your approach matters as your body and priorities change.
You don’t have to be over forty to train with me. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced practitioner, we’ll choose a useful focus and work through it together.
Talk about your goals.
Tell me about your experience, what you want to improve and anything we need to account for.
Work with a clear focus.
Build skills through explanation, repetition and appropriate drills, with feedback as you go.
Know what comes next.
Leave knowing what to keep practising and how your next session can build on it.

Booking & session policy.
Booking and payment
All sessions must be booked in advance. Payment is required at booking unless we agree otherwise. Please confirm a suitable time with me before paying.
Cancellations and missed sessions
Please give at least 24 hours’ notice to cancel or reschedule. With less notice, or if you do not attend, the session is charged in full or deducted from your block. Genuine emergencies and exceptional circumstances are considered individually.
Late arrivals
Your session will finish at the agreed time if you arrive late. The full session fee remains payable.
Block bookings and expiry
Five-session blocks are valid for eight weeks and ten-session blocks for sixteen weeks, starting from your first session. Your first session must take place within fourteen days of purchase unless we agree otherwise. Please book regularly and use your sessions within that period. Unused sessions expire at the end of the block.
Illness, injury and exceptional circumstances
Let me know as soon as possible if you are unwell or something affects your ability to train. Extensions may be agreed for injury, illness or exceptional circumstances. Please contact me before your block expires.
What happens if I cancel?
We will rearrange your session. If we cannot fit it within your remaining booking period, I will extend your block deadline accordingly.
Let’s find a useful starting point.
Send me a message with what you’d like to work on, your training experience and the days or times that suit you. We’ll discuss whether private coaching is a good fit.
