Went for the Saturday 10am BJJ No-Gi class and it was great. Good techniques taught, live drilling and then free sparring. Coaching and training partners were both great!
Jesse is the most experienced coach you'll find around. I've known Jesse since 2007. He was a rising MMA star fighting under Anthony Perosh and Elvis Sinosic. Out of the whole MMA team back then he was one of the most talented fighters. I remember when he trained for his first fight, I looked up to him and wanted to be like him. The great thing about Jesse is he's kept training since then and built up even more skill. Because he's so good at what he does, he hasn't received too many bad shots to the head (he's very well spoken). Just so you guys know, Jesse's competed in MMA, done Muay thai since 2003 and a BJJ blackbelt! If you're in Newcastle, visit this gym and I guarantee you won't be disappointed.
Did my trial at Newcastle Mixed Martial Arts and had a really good experience. Everyone was welcoming and friendly from the moment I walked in, and the atmosphere made it really easy to feel comfortable even as a beginner. Coach Jess is amazing, he was really welcoming, patient and great at explaining the techniques. He made sure everything was easy to understand. Really enjoyed my trial and I’m looking forward to continuing my training here. Highly recommend, especially if you’re new to martial arts and thinking about giving it a go!
Just had a fantastic Muay Thai trial session , Jess is a great instructor, he engages the class and makes sure everyone is included, keeping it fun and interesting. Will without a doubt continue to train here every week!
I recently started training Muay Thai at Newcastle Mixed Martial Arts and it has been an incredible experience from day one. The class has a real sense of community with no egos and a very welcoming atmosphere. Everyone has been supportive and willing to help regardless of experience level. As an older beginner, I was a little unsure what to expect, but the instructor Jess and the other students made me feel comfortable straight away. The training is challenging, but kept to level that everyone can work through it. The class is conducted in a safe and respectful environment. If you’re looking for a place to learn Muay Thai, improve your fitness, build confidence, and be part of a great group of people, I highly recommend Newcastle Mixed Martial Arts.
Went for the trial class yesterday and I was totally impressed with the warmth and welcome I received. The surprising part was I was instantly their own within few minutes of workout together. Total fun place and I can see myself coming back again and again to build the skill which is taught so professionally. Ripu Singh
As someone completely new to kickboxing, I wasn’t sure what to expect walking into my trial class, but I can honestly say it was an amazing experience from start to finish. The instructors and members were incredibly welcoming, kind, and patient. They took the time to explain techniques clearly and made sure I felt comfortable, even when learning something completely unfamiliar. The environment was very inclusive, and I never felt out of place or intimidated as a beginner. The workout itself was intense in the best possible way—challenging, energetic, and a lot of fun. It pushed me outside of my comfort zone while still being enjoyable and motivating. I left feeling accomplished, energized, and excited to come back. I would highly recommend giving kickboxing a try, especially if you’re looking for something new that combines fitness, skill-building, and a supportive community. It was a fantastic experience and a great reminder that trying something different can be incredibly rewarding.
