    Simon Posener is truly a master martial arts Instructor. I attended his classes a number of years ago and really enjoyed it... The belt tests were tough, but for a reason to teach us physical skill, memorization, mental grit, emotional control, and endurance under extreme fatigue. Simon's coaching is recognized for a philosophical, longevity-focused approach to mixed martial arts...I would highly recommend Posener's Pankration/MMA and Muay Thai.

    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 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. Sincerely, Carlos Gonzalez
