TRAIN ONE
TO ONE
A private session is a coach's full attention on you and nothing else. People book them to fix one stubborn technique, to get started without a room full of people watching, or to sharpen up before a competition. Everyone starts somewhere.
Pick a coach
Tap a coach to see what they work on. If you are not sure who fits, leave it as no preference in the form and we will point you to the right person.
Shah still competes, so what he teaches is what he is using himself. Sessions with him tend to focus on putting striking and grappling together rather than treating them as two separate skills.
- Full MMA, striking into takedowns and back out again
- Game planning for a specific opponent or ruleset
- BJJ and submission grappling
- Getting your head right before a fight
Tanveer works on the mechanics of striking and why a shot lands, not just repetitions of the shot. Useful if your stand-up feels untidy or nobody has ever broken it down for you properly.
- Stance, footwork and balance
- K-1 and Muay Thai combinations
- Pad rounds with feedback after each one
- Stand-up that still holds up once grappling is allowed
Abdullah has wrestled for GB at senior level and was shortlisted for the 2022 Commonwealth Games. Wrestling is the hardest thing to pick up from group classes alone, which makes it one of the clearest reasons to book a private.
- Freestyle takedowns and how to finish them
- Chain wrestling and scrambles
- Defence, mat returns and getting back to your feet
- Match strategy if you are competing
Amir has over a hundred competition wins and has grappled on Polaris. He trains under Ross Nichols at London Grapple, and the detail from that room comes straight into his private sessions.
- No-Gi systems, including leg locks
- Passing and guard retention
- Takedowns built for grappling rather than MMA
- Tournament prep and game planning
Abdul has fought for over twenty years and holds titles at European and British level. He has coached in several London gyms and has taken fighters through to professional world level.
- Muay Thai technique from someone who fought it for a living
- Pads, clinch and controlled sparring
- Fight camp preparation
- Starting from zero if you have never struck before
Yasmin competes across Muay Thai, kickboxing, boxing and MMA. Private sessions with her are a straightforward way in for women who want to train properly without being in a mixed room.
- Striking across all four of her disciplines
- Pad work and conditioning
- Practical self-defence
- Preparing for a first competition
If something is not right
Separate from coaching, and available to members and non-members alike.
Mohammed works at consultant level alongside a knee and shoulder surgeon. He treats professional and amateur athletes across football, basketball and MMA, as well as people whose job keeps them at a desk.
- Assessment and rehab for training injuries
- Hijama and manual therapy
- Return to training plans built around your sport
- Stopping small niggles turning into long layoffs
When a private makes sense
One thing, properly
A technique that has never felt right can usually be sorted in a session or two, because nobody is waiting for the coach.
Starting without an audience
If walking into a full class is the thing stopping you, start one to one and join the group once you feel ready.
Before a fight
Specific work for a specific opponent or ruleset, on top of your normal camp.
Around your week
Times are arranged with the coach when you enquire rather than fixed to the class timetable.
