We are artists
The mats our canvas, our minds the creative
It’s either just punching pads, or it’s much much more
Know one thing deeply , know 1000 things
Revolution is internal

Did you know we run our own unique assistant coaching program?
Kids might only be a small percentage of the population, but they are 100% of the future
We guide kids through ten stages of development, starting from welcoming new students to level 10, planning and running a class and coaching adults while delegating work to their own assistant .
Every one of our assistant coaches enters the real world with an attitude and experience that will make them stand out like a beacon of competence and confidence.
Ten Levels of Development
Once accepted, each Assistant Coach begins a structured journey through ten levels of personal and professional development.
From the start, you’ll receive clear, defined goals, tasks, and responsibilities that gradually build your leadership, communication, and coaching skills.
We begin small — for example, to achieve Level One, you might:
Line the Vipers up and salute them into the room
Help younger students with their equipment
Support the class environment and assist the lead coach
Each level increases in both responsibility and skill.
By higher levels, you’ll be expected to:
Lead warm-ups using Tabata-style interval training
Mentor new assistant coaches
Plan and deliver short teaching segments or drills
On the surface, these may seem like simple tasks, but each one develops deeper skills — from communication and confidence to leadership and accountability.

I don’t remember training kickboxing and jiu jitsu with Tim while travelling to hull to train keysi
It was a crazy transition from 24 hour 7 day party people , mental breakdown , suicidal tendencies, to martial arts and the maverick you all know now 😂🤡
There’s a documentary just released available for streaming now, soon to be on the major networks . Irvin Welsh called it “the most important documentary made on this”
If you visit the link below you can watch it , it’s got a lot of my footage in it , almost unheard of at the time, walking around with a camera the size of a washing machine usually meant you were visiting the hospital while your equipment burnt.
For some reason I was left alone to film freely for a few years
