Why Choose Us?
Upon finishing the beginner’s course, you can graduate to our main sessions at the Hive leisure centre. In our main classes, each session builds upon the previous, starting with the fundamentals and working towards mastery. You will be guided and supported by our whole team at all stages of your combat sports journey. Whether you want to get in the cage or just get into shape while having fun and learning skills, our club is open to all who come in with a positive attitude and ready to put in some work.
Our main classes are all mixed ability; we believe it is important for more experienced practitioners to help guide beginners and for beginners to see the skills and training methods of more experienced practitioners. We work together as a team to help everyone in the room grow and approach all aspects of training, from drilling to sparring, as a team sport.
More About Us
Learn more about our ethos, hygiene and equipment needed when training at Ely MMA.
Come in with a positive attitude, prepared to learn and put in work. We don’t accept mediocrity and neither should any of our students. Leave your ego at the door and respect all of your training partners. We are all here to improve ourselves and work together as a team. Affiliations and belts mean nothing when you come into our gym, what matters is your character and how you treat others.
Personal hygiene is taken very seriously at our club. MMA is a full contact sport which requires you spending time in very close quarters with your training partners. You should shower before and after each session, trim your fingernails and toenails and always show up in clean training attire.
Ideally you want to wear a rashguard or t-shirt, and a pair of shorts without any buttons or zips. Our beginner’s course will provide you with your own pair of 7 ounce MMA gloves, 2 pairs of inner gloves to keep your gloves from becoming smelly and your own pair of shin pads. The only other thing you will need is a mouth guard which we highly recommend wearing at all times as accidents can happen at any time.
