Experiences from MMA North London students
Whetstone · seven years’ training
MMA Whetstone“This club has done a lot for me in the past 7 years to help me improve, learn and understand martial arts, both physically and mentally. The instructors are friendly, the people who train are excellent to train with and the environment at the club is great.”
Haringey · five years’ training
MMA Haringey“I was totally captivated by how hard the students worked and the inspirational coaching. The MMA club is a great place to train with awesome instructors and students. No egos at this club… just a desire to learn, train, grow and help fellow students.”
Totteridge · six years’ training
MMA Totteridge“I have trained in several martial arts including Muay Thai and Judo, and found this club 6 years ago. I have never looked back. It is quite simply the best place to train in London in BJJ and MMA. Inspiring instructors and brilliant training partners.”
North Finchley · four years’ training
MMA Finchley“At the age of 56, I am now in my fourth year of training with Sensei Ibush and he is turning me into a lean, mean fighting machine — which is no mean feat given the material he started with. Big thanks to Sensei and the boys and girls at the MMA club.”
Tottenham · Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
MMA Tottenham“MMA North London is an exceptional club in every way. My personal experience here with Brazilian jiu-jitsu has been fantastic. Sensei Ibush takes a very diligent interest in his students. The environment is friendly and, most importantly, very safe.”
High Barnet · MMA grappling
MMA Barnet“I got to train with some people with less experience than me and it was extremely eye-opening. I was able to easily take them down and control them on the ground. It was then I realised what a fantastic amount of progress I had made in such a short time!”
