Auckland MMA — Restaurant in Howick

I have trained several MMA gyms around Auckland and overseas, I can hand on heart say the friendly environment and vibe to this gym is simply second to none.

They have top level coaches who are masters in their field and are able to explain the basics to beginners through to teaching complex fight tactics to their experienced fighters.

I loved the fact that they had a beginners class to learn the fundamentals and once you felt comfortable you could move up to more experienced classes at your own pace, right the way through to training with full time professional title holders.

Hamish is an excellent coach with brilliant communication who will take time during a class to help correct you personally which I really found helpful, and it was nice to know he cared and wanted you to improve.

They also have a BJJ class I jumped in a few times with Van who was a master coach, she had near flawless technique, but was still able to break down complex moves in a way newer students could understand easily.

Can't praise this gym enough, and hope when my kids are older to start them in the kids classes here as they look...

Everyone is made welcome and is respected, regardless of age, and experience. The fundamental classes attract very experienced members who know the value of the basics - this is both exciting and terrifying when you have no bloody clue which is your right and left and at times can’t differentiate between your foot and your hand. Every week I feel sorry for the poor person who gets buddied up with me - they never complain and always encourage. It is incredibly motivating. If you are in your 6th decade like me, value your time (and money) , value your fitness, agility and cognition and want to learn a new sport that demands focus , practice, and technique then please get along so I am not only uncoordinated person in the room . You will be safe , treated with respect and have fun. You will be...
