About
Combat Athlete/Gracie Barra Telford is a friendly martial arts gym in Telford, Shropshire, run by a passionate team. They offer a wide range of classes in MMA and no-gi submission grappling for men, women, and juniors. If you prefer personalised training, they also provide one-on-one sessions.
John at Combat Athlete welcomes everyone, from complete beginners wanting to learn basic self-defence to seasoned fighters aiming to compete at the highest levels. The classes are not just about learning to fight—they're also great for fitness, boosting confidence, and overall wellness.
The gym has a warm, inclusive vibe where everyone supports each other. John's training blends striking and grappling, perfect for self-defence and fitness. You'll learn a variety of fighting styles like karate, kickboxing, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Whether you're looking to compete or just get fit and learn self-defence, John has you covered.
Classes are challenging yet rewarding, focusing on building stamina, and drilling punching, kicking, takedowns, submissions, and sparring. Beginners can borrow gloves for their first few lessons and you'll need to wear shorts and a t-shirt. Additional gear like a mouth guard and MMA gloves will be needed as you progress.
John offers flexible memberships, including unlimited sessions, twice-weekly options, and Junior MMA classes. There are also Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes for all ages.
