Alnwick MMA

Post class group selfie from Monday with our coach and fearless leader Shaun Gaines and some of the lads. There were four ladies too but they scarpered off shortly after class ended and thus didn't get to feature in this sweaty photo. I must remember to take photos *before* class, and not afterwards!

Another great class tonight, taught by the mighty Shaun! We train Mondays and Fridays at 7pm at Willowburn Sports And Leisure Centre in Alnwick. Classes last for one hour. We focus mostly on kickboxing leaning towards MMA (but no BJJ), with some wrestling now and then too. If you just want to do boxing, that's fine, and if you'd rather just do straight kickboxing such as K1 rules, that's fine too! We keep it friendly and spar lightly :)

Happy New Year to you all! Shaun will be teaching again as of Monday 7th January. Two classes per week on Mondays and Fridays, starting at 7pm at Willowburn Sports And Leisure Centre in Alnwick.

If you've made a resolution to get fit, learn something new, meet new people, or just because you fancy putting on some gloves and hitting a punchbag, come along!

Great class tonight with legendary coach Shaun! Please do like/comment/share this post (and the page itself) with your friends and to any applicable groups, to help promote the club.

I couldn't help but remember this video when we were drilling this kick (spinning back kick, or turning side kick (and probably other names too!))). It's well worth a watch as Joe Rogan's technique is very clean indeed. GSP is one of the best MMA fighters ever and he's taking advice from Joe for a reason!

Joe Rogan teaches GSP the turning side kick I had the honor of showing one of the best pound for pound fighters on the planet my favorite kick

Great session earlier today! Finally managed to get a photo of some of our members after class today. It had to be done after class and not before, for that authentic sweaty, tired, but happy look ;)

Great session earlier tonight! Classes are now on Mondays and Fridays at 7pm (at Willowburn Leisure Centre, Alnwick). Be sure to book in, and check-in at reception on arrival :)
