I’ve really enjoyed training at Simon Posener’s school since I joined in July 2025. There’s a great variety of classes, including skills training, conditioning, sparring, and MMA.
One of the things that stands out the most is the culture of the school. Everyone genuinely supports each other and helps one another grow. It’s clearly one of the core values here. If you’re a beginner, you never feel lost or uncomfortable. Both the instructors and teammates are always ready to help, answer questions, and give individual attention when needed.
The coaching team, including Simon, George, Costa, and Adam, are incredibly dedicated and genuinely care about each student’s progress. They create an environment where you feel supported but also challenged to improve.
Since joining, I’ve seen real changes in myself. I’ve lost weight, improved my physical condition, and developed better overall fitness. More importantly, training here has helped me learn how to stay calm in stressful situations, especially during sparring. This ability to stay composed has positively impacted not only my training, but also my work and overall quality of life.
I work in IT, and training here helps me completely switch off and get rid of work-related mental overload. After sparring sessions in particular, I feel incredibly happy and clear-headed. It feels like all the stress is gone and nothing is bothering me.
The atmosphere is very supportive and motivating. It’s a place where you can grow physically and mentally, and also make new friends.
I highly recommend this school both for people who want to achieve serious sport goals and for those who simply want to stay in great physical shape, learn effective self-defense skills, and be part of a strong and positive community.

I’ve been training here for a year now and it’s seriously been life changing. It’s given me an outlet to focus my energy and train my body. I didn’t expect to become part of such a great community that I can now call my close friends. Simon, George, Costa, and Adam are excellent teachers with different styles and useful knowledge, as well as being positive and uplifting. If you try it you will love it!

I've trained at Posenor Pankration over a year now, and I can confidently say this place is one of my favourite place to learn Martial arts Self defence and self confidence. I dont think I would be the man I am today without it. The staff are very knowledgeable and admirable, they do make a really good role model. I personally look up to them. Simon and the teachers have been teaching for a really long time so I trust their wisdom. Hope you give it a try. Thanks for reading!

I had a genuinely disappointing experience with this unprofessional MMA coach. - never show up 10mins before the class start -no sprinkling salt in winter when entrance at the back even the ground slippery -show up 10mins late for class no apology for the kids waiting outside with there parent so don't waste your money on this arrogance coach

Simon’s school is absolutely a premier place to learn and train MMA. Every class is a pure quality! I have done lots of schooling and can easily recognize if something is worth or not, this MMA school is top class! All trainers, Simon, George, Costa, and Adam are great to work with and to learn from!

I started training here oct. 2023 and it has been the best investment i have made for myself. My confidence, hip mobility, cardio, and focus has improved dramatically, and it is easily the highlight of a regular day. The others are very personable and its nice to meet those who share a similar passion. Simon and George are fantastic instructors with a great wealth of knowledge and i cannot recommend this place enough! If you are on the fence of which MMA gym you want to join, look no further and give this place a shot. You will not be disappointed! Thank you Simon and George for your guidance, patience, and fun training sessions! OSU!

I've been training at Posener's Pankration/MMA and Muay Thai gym for over a year now (I think? Time really does fly when you're having a great time!) This gym stands out as the best I’ve ever been to, and it’s for several reasons.
First and foremost, if you’re serious about improving your self-defence skills or stepping into the ring, this gym is for you. The number of victories and championships won by the regulars here is impressive. Simon and George are both exceptional instructors in the adult classes, and I’ve learned so much from them (and clearly, so have the many champions!)
Secondly, this gym has been a fantastic addition to my fitness routine. I’m not usually someone who gets excited about exercise, but Posener’s changed that for me by making it both rewarding and fun. I leave each session feeling like I’ve had a great workout—both physically and mentally.
Lastly, the community. I can’t emphasize this enough. The support, camaraderie, and genuine friendliness of everyone here have been incredible. I consider this community my second family—a family that fights, but in the best possible way!
I’m incredibly grateful to the instructors and students at this gym. I’ve learned so much from both and look forward to continuing my journey here for many more years to come!

My friend actually recommended this gym to me. A very friendly and welcoming gym. It was an absolute honour to have Adam and Simon as trainers. Honestly it was the highlight of my entire week.
MMA, an amazing intro to grappling and within two classes, I have already learned some very useful techniques.
Muay thai was amazing too. Very fun workouts and technique drills.
From learning a bunch of different martial arts as a kid, I would say Posener's gym definitely teaches top notch practical techniques. I could tell from spending a week here that everyone in this gym is passionate. Its hard to find a place like this.
It is truly inspiring to see how much dedication and passion Simon and his team puts into MMA. To anyone thinking about signing up. Go for it. You will be inspired as well. Trust me.

I had the privilege of being trained by the Posener's family, and I can say without hesitation that it has been a transformative experience. His deep knowledge of mixed martial arts, combined with his ability to teach clearly and effectively, has made a significant difference in my development as a fighter.
Simon and Adam stands out not only for his technical expertise but also for his dedication and patience. Each class is carefully structured to address both fundamental and advanced aspects of training, always with a focus on continuous improvement and skill refinement. Additionally, his ability to motivate and challenge his students creates a positive and stimulating learning environment.
Beyond the techniques and tactics, Simon also emphasizes the importance of respect, discipline, and teamwork—values that are essential in martial arts and in life in general. Thanks to his guidance, I have made significant progress and feel more confident both inside and outside the dojo.
I highly recommend Posener’s Pankration MMA/Muay Thai to anyone looking to not only improve their skills in mixed martial arts but also grow as an individual. His commitment and passion for the art are truly inspiring.
