Shaun - Head coach
Boxing, KickBoxing, Karate
I started my training as a 5 year old, I was keen to learn Karate as a kid. I started training with Sama Organisation under Hanshi Gibson. I studied traditional Wado-Ryu Karate under Hanshi's tutelage and spent more than 20 years doing so. I also studied American KickBoxing with Sama too.
I travelled the UK / Europe competing at the highest levels within Karate. I won lots of tournaments through my competing days in Karate up to European level.
I have trained a few different styles since leaving Sama including Boxing, Chinese Boxing, Judo, BJJ and Taekwondo too.
My current qualifications are 3rd degree black belt in Karate, and and 3rd degree black belt in KickBoxing, I'm a qualified Boxing coach too. These qualifications can be validated through British Martials Arts & Boxing Association (BMABA).
My passion is to share the skill set I learned throughout my years of training. In my opinion Its really beneficial for kids / young adults & adults to have a safe place to train and let off some steam, which is why I've dedicated pretty much my whole adult life into coaching / sharing my knowledge.
Andy - Assistant Coach
Boxing, KickBoxing
I have trained in a few types of martial arts including Shotokan Karate , American KickBoxing and Boxing. I have competed in all three, Including being the main event fighter for the WRSA English title for KickBoxing.
Since then, my aim is to help the next generation with their skills that I have picked up other the years. My specialty is realistic pad holding for boxers, interpreting their opponents.
I have had some amazing help myself with incredible trainers including Dominic Ingle from the world famous Ingles gym. I also love how this sport can help you mentally and physically. I’m proud to be able to help others achieve their goals.
