I have been attending his classes for close to 9 months now and can comfortably say it is a fantastic environment for both beginners and advanced levels. Willie Scott shows great techniques that is useful for both competitive fighting and self defence.
Good time trained at this gym in the past would highly recommend this gym coach teaches good vale tudo skills for MMA.
Great coach and team. Very welcoming to both genders. Family atmosphere where you'll be helped n made part of the team by the lads as well as the bossman(whose a sweetheart he just kids on)11 outta 10 💚
The best gym in Edinburgh and the lothians by far! With Great coaches that bring a safe, and enjoyable environment which allows you to learn and improve fast while working at your own pace. Each class is FULL of fantastic knowledge, technique, and banter leaving you fulfilled and satisfied with the session. You'll be very hard pushed to find a better gym that shows you as much attention as alba dornadair does!!!
Alba Dornadair is amazing in almost every aspect you look for in a gym Willie creates a very welcoming environment for people wanting to come and train and beginners to learn and progress in the game with also some of willies humour to make it a lot more enjoyable it is also filled with some of the best knowledge of mma you’ll get anywhere it is also a the best value for money you’ll get anywhere based on the teachings you get there
Highly recommend Willie Scott! Best coach around!! He definitely knows his stuff. You will learn to defend yourself and you will also get a good laugh at training as his banter is just as good 😃
Posted 2 years agoWillie's a solid coach, he brings a sense of humor to his job and all his students leave each class feeling like they've learned something, even the ones who have been there for years.
Posted 2 years agoThought to give MMA a try and Willies classes were very welcoming, huge fun, engaging and full of endless knowledge. Willie is a fantastic coach wise and witty as they come. Loved training here and would recommend to anyone thinking of trying their hand at mixed martial arts.
Trained with Willie for a few years. Great guy, fantastic coach. His coaching is good for all levels beginner - experienced. I found the 1-1 and 2-1 sessions to be really helpful furthering my BJJ and wresting game. Having focused attention with a man who’s been there and done it for 30 odd years, knows the who’s, who? And what’s, what? Of UK MMA. LEGEND.

Trained off and on throughout the years since first went in roughly 2006,I've always been drawn back to Willie's training in terms of coaching he's unmatched on knowledge alone never mind the masterclass of banter you receive. As a club your welcomed and pushed to want to train harder for yourself and sense of pride for the club. If it's MMA your looking to get into all aspects I recommend here is the place to start your journey!
I trained with Willie and competed with Willie as my coach. Those years training and fighting under Willie Scott have defined me as a person. They are memories that I will never forget. Willie's clubs always felt like an extended family. I was and still am proud to say I gave my all in my fights because of the passion, coaching, Friendship a d respect instilled. I live down south now so don't have the opportunity to train with Willie anymore but because of the bond he builds in his classes I always try and get up to the club just to say hello when I visit Edinburgh. Always will by my coach!
I’ve trained on and off with Willie since 2004. One thing I’ve noticed most is how welcoming Willie is and all of his Students are. I’ve been part of his Fight team and trained for fitness and recreation through the years. His experience in competitive fighting as well as the real world applications of martial arts is deep, all this comes out in his unique teaching and coaching style. Highly recommended
I was lucky enough to train under Willie a few years ago now and can't recommend him enough. From the very first session, you were made feel at ease and most of all welcome and treated as an equal and part of the team regardless of whether you were there to fight, get fit or just dip your toes in to the MMA scene. Willie is a no nonsense style of coach who makes it clear, inflated egos are not welcome. He has a sound and vast knowledge base in all things MMA. For anyone interested in MMA I highly recommend you contact Willie and give it a go. He's a down to earth guy who would give you the shirt off his back.
