MMA has truly changed my life. Before I started training, I used to spend most of my time lazing around the house, not doing much exercise, and struggling in school. I also got into a lot of trouble—fighting in the streets and making bad decisions that could have ended badly.

Since starting MMA, I’ve learned discipline, self-control, and how to channel my anger in a positive way. It gave me a purpose, a safer environment to train, and a community that pushed me to grow. I’m no longer on a destructive path—MMA helped me turn things around, both physically and mentally.

Kieran has worked with some of the most vulnerable pupils in Flintshire for the last two years. In the time I have been working with him I have seen the key qualities he has to connect positively with the pupils, passion, determination, patience, empathy and resilience.

Kieran works to understand the young people and through MMA, teaches them about values and improves their ability to be able to connect with others.

Just wanted to say a big thanks to Kieran for everything he’s done for me. Before I started training with him, I was getting into trouble a lot and things weren’t going great at school. I didn’t really have anything I cared about or looked forward to.

Since I’ve been going to Kieran’s sessions, everything’s changed. I actually enjoy training now and I always look forward to going to the gym. It’s not just about MMA – Kieran always takes time to talk to me and check in, and that’s made a massive difference.

He’s helped me get my head straight and stay focused, and I feel like I’m in a much better place now. I wouldn’t be where I am without him. Thanks for everything, Kieran

I can’t thank Kieran enough for the incredible impact he’s had on my son Riley’s life. Riley was going through a tough time, getting into trouble at school and generally heading down the wrong path. It was a worrying time for us as a family.

Kieran stepped in not just as a coach, but as a real mentor and positive influence. He took the time to train with Riley, talk with him, and most importantly – listen. Through MMA and the supportive environment Kieran has created at the gym, Riley has completely turned his life around.

Now, Riley looks forward to every session. The gym has given him structure, confidence, and a real sense of purpose. He truly looks up to Kieran, and it’s clear the respect and care go both ways.

I will be forever grateful for the role Kieran has played in Riley’s journey. His dedication, patience, and genuine support have made a lasting difference – not just in Riley’s training, but in his life.

I have had the pleasure of working with Kieran for several months now, and I can confidently say he is one of the most knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and patient trainers I have ever encountered in the world of martial arts and personal fitness.

His deep understanding of mixed martial arts is truly impressive. He explains techniques with clarity and precision, ensuring that I not only learn the moves but also understand the underlying principles behind them. His enthusiasm for MMA is contagious, constantly motivating me to push my boundaries and improve my skills. No matter my skill level, he always encourages me to strive for progress and excellence.

What sets Kieran apart is his remarkable patience. He takes the time to work with me at my own pace, addressing my weaknesses and celebrating my improvements. His supportive attitude creates a positive and empowering environment that makes training enjoyable and inspiring.

Beyond his technical expertise and the time he has spent training me, Kieran has an extraordinary talent for working with children, especially those with challenging behaviors. He approaches each young person with genuine care, patience, and understanding, helping them to channel their energy in productive ways through MMA and personal training. His ability to connect with and inspire these children is truly admirable, and he consistently encourages them to believe in their potential to better themselves.

Kieran is not just a trainer but a mentor who believes in the transformative power of martial arts. He supports and inspires those facing personal struggles, guiding them towards self-improvement and confidence. His dedication to helping others, whether they are beginners, kids, or individuals overcoming difficulties, is evident in everything he does.

I enjoy training with Kieran, sessions are 10/10.

I love the kickboxing, my favourite is the kicks 1/2’s and the sprawls and runs.

Best sessions ever!!
