Counterstrike Martial Arts

To understand what you are doing it’s vital to have enough data coming in to constantly add to the equation.
I started adding to my knowledge with BJJ at the relatively late age of 38 years old. I have learnt so much from Martyn Cahill and from training with all my training partners at Fighting Fit.

Even a sloppy technique at the right time and in the right place can give us the right answer. This is no excuse for poor technique though! 🤣

We don't know exactly when we will be able to get back to our corporate training - soon we hope! But to be able to bring people back together as a team doing an engaging, fun and developmental activity like martial arts is a perfect way to welcome everyone back to the workplace and get back at it!

Absolute belter of a birthday cake for Husain’s birthday! Husain has been putting in the hard work over the years and is still working hard as an nhs Doctor over this enforced break from training. Happy birthday Husain!

The legendary Altern-8, 30 years ahead of their time. Top one, nice one, get sorted.

Anywhere can be a dojo! We don’t need a gym or a sports hall to train. A company boardroom, car park or meeting room is a great place for learning new skills

Corporate self-defence in Nottingham. Confidence, problem solving and employee engagement are just a few of the benefits!
