Stop Watching. Start Fighting.
Everyone dreams of being stronger, fitter and more confident.
But dreams donβt change you. Action does.
You donβt have to be a CageFighter to learn MMA.
Joining an Combat Sports gym can feel like an intimidating experience for beginnersβ¦
But donβt worry - we understand that not everyone is training for a professional fight.
Our mission is to champion diversity and spread the joy of martial-arts training with as many people as possible.
As such, our fighting family based out of Highams Park in East London comprises people of all ages, genders, sizes and fitness levels. We work with everyone from complete beginners to professional fighters.
The Fighting-Arts Academy is a Mixed Martial-Arts club for everyone.

Fitness, Self-Defence, Competition or Just For Fun...
The martial-arts of MMA provide a great way to get in shape, meet wonderful, driven and goal oriented people with a common passion for the arts.
Our striking and grappling styles are a great basis for self defence, and for learning life skills.
There are countless stress relieving and rejuvenating qualities that can be realised through the training.
We work hard as a club and will always go the extra-mile to bring the best out of our students. People might have different training goals but we are here to help everyone reach their potential, goals and ambitions. There is martial-arts saying that βiron sharpens ironβ.
The Fighting Arts Academy often feels more like a family than a sports team.

Good Facilities. Great Coaches.
We are a friendly mixed martial-arts club located within E4 Health & Fitness Centre in Highams Park in London UK.

INCLUSIVITY
Fighting doesnβt discriminate - Neither do we.
Mixed Martial-Arts as a sport only successfully evolved because people were willing to break down the silos that existed between traditional styles. By keeping an open mind, evaluating things on merit and disregarding prejudice or pre-conception β a new paradigm in combat sports was born. The discipline became a melting-pot where the diverse tapestry of the martial arts came together.
No Egos. No Machismo. No In-tolerance of any kind.
We are an actively inclusive organisation, and would love to welcome more women, people of colour, LGBTQ+ people and those from other marginalised communities and faiths to our team.
We recognise the value of diverse perspectives - and the fact that they are often under represented within the martial-arts.
If we can help change that, we will.
