Reviews of Gannon's Martial Arts - Leicester

Started back with martial arts after a long break of over 20 years. Natalie and Paul have been brilliant from the word go, welcoming me to the club and helping me build on the sketchy skills I could recall. Thoroughly enjoying the classes and keen to progress further.

L. K.

Coach Natalie is superb... Can't wait to spar with her again.... Keep up the good work

My son aged 7 has been attending the Gannon's Mixed Martial Arts kickboxing for a number of weeks now. His confidence has grown, his discipline has vastly improved and this is all credit to the highly skilled and professional instructors and their leadership. The instructors are patient yet attentive and know "exactly" how to develop your child's individual skills. Would highly recommend especially to other parents!!!

I have recently joined the academy and have been given a very warm welcome. I have no experience in martial arts and have started the beginner classes. I find the classes are exciting, fun and informative. They are a very supportive team and want to help you achieve your goals. Great atmosphere and lovely people to learn with! Whatever your ability or fitness, I highly recommend joining Gannon’s Mixed Martial Arts Academy

Gannons is an excellent place to learn MMA for what ever reason you want to learn be it for fitness or self defence. My son started training here 6 years ago and is now a black belt and it has changed his life he is much more confident. After seeing him achieve his black belt status I decided I would start my own journey with them . I would highly recommend this place to train so start your journey and join the Gannon family because they really do make you feel like part of the family

L. P.

I have been going to Gannons Martial Arts Academy for 10 years now. Not only does this academy have fantastic training it is such a friendly and welcoming place. When I first started I was very shy and nervous but the Gannon family made me feel welcome and helped me become the person I am today. I started when I was 8 years old and am still still attending classes at almost 18. The training for the children classes is amazing I remember having so much fun and not realising how complicated things I was learning were. Over the years I have been challenged a lot as the things they teach aren’t for people to come in, do once and master. They take years to learn. Only this year did I get my black belt and this shows how much dedication and skill it takes to pass the tests they set. The academy has taught me so much and I am grateful for that, I would 100% recommend coming and joining a class and keeping at it because after the years of training when you finally get you black belt you feel so much joy and pride I can’t describe it. I would also 100% recommend bringing your child to one of these classes, the instructors know what they are doing and won’t let your child get into any dangerous situations so you don’t need to worry about that. They teach children how to deal with situations using there minds and not their fists and they taught me how to deal with bullies at school without getting into fights

Sensei Natalie is the best 🌟 . She's great with kids and always knows how to keep them engaged by making each class interesting and fun but at the same time teaching them discipline.

As the father of a 17 year old black belt who has been attending classes at Gannon’s Martial Arts Academy since she was 8 I think I can speak with some authority. Gannon’s is a NAKMAS accredited academy with a focus on fostering a friendly but competitive learning experience. Students are actively encouraged to give their best under tutelage from long experienced martial arts masters. Those that have the dedication, desire and right attitude will be made welcome and soon feel part of the family.

P. B.

One of the best in Leicester. Lewis and jasmine were very patient with my son..it really helped him boosting his confidence ..he misses it now so I guess we will see you with both my kids soon x

E. P.

I train here 2/3 times a week and I couldn’t ask for a better place to train. All the staff are friendly and will do anything to make you feel comfortable and at ease. They are always smiling and always want the best for every member of the club. Thank you Gannon’s MMA for always brightening my Monday’s Wednesday’s and Thursday’s and for helping me make a better me!!

D. M.

Hands down, the best martial arts school of been too, instructors friendly and easy to get on with everyone who goes, very positive atmosphere. Great training is given to you regardless of your reasons for joining, self defense or fitness you can do it all here, extremely varied with a mix of kickboxing and jiu-jitsu as well as sparring, MMA sparring and free rolling sessions. Suitable for beginners and experienced! I recommend it to everyone and have been going 2 years myself and currently on Brown Belt, working through the long process of now proceeding through the Brown Belt Stripes to achieve black in the next 2/3 years.

f.

My daughter has been here for about 8 months and she says it was the most exciting and fun 8 months of experience. The instructors are very nice and educational. I would recommend this to everyone who is interested in martial arts.

P. M.

Gannons MMA is a great place to learn at. I have been training here for 5 years, and am about to earn my black belt (hopefully). Lewis Gannon is a great instructor who has given me confidence and the training to put myself forward for my first full MMA fight. Gannons is not the right place for people who are not dedicated or willing to put the effort in.

R. K.

I’ve been attending Gannons MMA now for 18 months now, I’m not a black belt yet, really enjoy training twice a week, i had no balance nor could i bend my knee due to injury. Training with Gannons has help my confidence and now i kick almost above my head. Their training is amazing, but it also comes from your own commitment and hard work. I have meet some lovely and amazing people and continue to meet new people. Love it keep up the good hard training Gannons 😊😊😊🥊💪🏻

S. S.

I have been training at Gannons for 11 months and I love it . It’s a great place to learn martial arts . Lewis , Paul and Jasmine are very friendly , professional, welcoming and knowledgeable. In just 11 months I have learned so much and i love attending classes .I can’t recommend Gannons enough . Joining Gannons is definitely one of the best decisions I’ve ever made .

J. P.

Been with Gannon's for only a short time and I love it, everyone is friendly, great instructors. It's a place to make new friends and to get into great shape. I highly recommend coming to Gannon's if you're interested in learning MMA :)

S. H.

I have been training at Gannons for nearly 4 years now. I have trained at a few places over the years and most martial arts clubs are the same. In a school gym or hall. Not really any dedicated kit and only a couple of sessions a week. There's nothing wrong with that but Gannons is different. Dedicated dojo, mats and equipment. The staff are great and the instructors are fantastic. I've learned so much there that training has now become part of my life. If you want to learn martial arts and MMA techniques, gannons is the place to be.

T. R.

My son Konstantins is so excited for karate at Gannon's MMA . Going there almost every training lesson. Very friendly kids, trainers and SanSays. Big experience on competitions. A lot of parties and kempings. Gannon's MMA is not only sport but also like big family. Wery proud of black belts kids... I tell all my friends not only get kids there but also by themselves try MMA at Gannon's classes 👍

J. M. B.

As an ex-member at Gannons, I can truly recommend the acedemy for MMA training. Family run, friendly, professional and competitive, it’s a great place for children and adults to hone a wide variety of different martial arts skills together in a good environment, and improve their fitness.

N. T.

My friend has been training at Gannon's MMA for 4 years, and he couldn't be happier. His confidence has improved, his fitness levels, and he has made many, many friends. I could not recommend training at Gannon's highly enough. It will change your life.

s. s.

I trained at this school some 10 years ago. I also done a few competitions for them with 2 class instructors. Roger hunt and Gemma Ford were excellent and very knowledgeable. Also let's take nothing away from master Gannon probably the friendliest place I have trained. I do miss the place but I would have to start from scratch again as I have forgot most of my katas. Highly recommend

s. h.

Ive been coming here just under a year.Love coming here to learn mma they are so patient with you and help you learn at your speed. Even kept going with online Zoom classes during lockdowns.

J. A. S.

I recentley enrolled into the beginners program at Gannon's. Although it's early days I have learnt a lot already. The teachers are top quality and there is always a great atmosphere at the academy. I would definitely recommend Gannon's to anyone interested in starting MMA.

C. P.

6 months ago I started at Gannon's MMA. As a 30 year old female I wondered if the environment would be welcoming - and it absolutely WAS! Since then I have moved up 2 belts, and learned SO much about myself. I have gained friends, confidence, fitness, and a skillset that makes me feel EMPOWERED! It is so liberating to be able to walk around knowing that I can defend myself physically AND mentally. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone thinking of having a go! Paul, Rodger, and Jasmine are so welcoming - and do everything they can to empower and inspire you towards the best, happiest, and strongest version of yourself. So thankful to have found this place!

C. W.

Very good, friendly members & instructors. Helps you get fit and healthy for a better lifestyle, learn new fighting techniques. Full potential to reach your goals, and bring the best out of you. Recommended to anyone who would like to do MMA.

p. r.

No matter what you're aim is, either self defence or fitness, then Gannon's Mixed Martial Arts Academy is the best place to achieve your goals. The team are amazing, supporting you no matter what your level and it is more like a family than a dojo. I cannot recommend it highly enough, to say that it is life changing is not an exaggeration.

M. H.

Gannons mma is a great environment with even better instructors, you learn a whole load of skills and get to meet friendly new people. I would recommend it to anyone looking to learn how to fight, get in shape or simply develop as a person. Without a doubt 5 stars out of 5 for me.

S. A.

I have been training at Gannons Mixed Martial Arts Academy for 5 years. Excellent instructors, excellent equipment. If you want to be the best this is the only place to train.

We have been coming to Gannons MMA for 1 year now. Our 2 boys have moved from white to blue belt this year. That's absolutely phenomenal considering they only 8 and 6. Our boys are truly energetic and just want to have fun and its been a challenge to calm them down. But since we joined Gannons MMA Leicester they have matured so much and Hyper Jon has even improved his focus in class. We cannot thank Lewis and Jasmin enough to help with implementing discipline into our two wild cat's. Over and above this, we really enjoy the professional classes that our boys attend with a proper dojo setup of thick mats, mma cage and loads of punching pads including the Bruce Lee punching man. What really sets this mma school apart from other schools is that we have Lewis and Jasmin training the boys each lesson together, along with their professionalism they have a professional setup. So there is more consistency in their lessons. Lewis and Jasmin are also so friendly even while trying to stay focused during classes. Everyone in the class is so friendly. In fact we have met two other couple's thru the mma classes. What is also great is the mma tournaments and socials, but best of all the Summer Camp. If you want a serious investment in your children then I can definitely recommend Gannons MMA. 5 Star rating for sure!!!

I have been attending Gannons MMA for just over a year now and I have learned alot of valuable skills whilst also gaining fitness and strength. The Instructors are very patient and encouraging which is refreshing.

S. S.

Paul Gannon has awesome energy and enthusiasm for sharing his martial arts experience. Not only that, he's a great teacher and has created a relaxed, friendly environment where people can train and grow. If you're thinking of checking it out...just do it!

K. R.

My 7 year old son has just joined. Had a mini lesson on his own yeterday and had his first class tonight. He thoroughly enjoyed it and Lewis took the time to go through moves with him. He was not made to feel like a newby and hes looking forward to his next class. So far so good!

s.

Excellent martial arts club! I travel 35 miles to attend their sessions , With the Gannons teaching mixed martial arts (MMA) that consists of wrestling/ju jujitsu /tae kwon do & kickboxing. There is something for everyone.For anyone who simply wants to keep fit,this is certainly a fun way to go about it and at the same time building your confidence with learning to defend yourself! It's a win win!!! 5******

S. I.

Great environment, awesome instructors and a flexible timetable for everyone. The classes are fun and incorporate various practical techniques that can be used both for self defense or against fighting opponents, but at the same time help you improve your stamina and fitness levels. 5/5 stars for sure !

Gannons MMA is a great place. They have friendly instructors, really fun classes and I really have felt healthier since I started training with them.

Gannons MMA helps me to keep my fabulous figure so I can pull bare chicks at the club and look 'ard if you get what I mean. Haven't got any muscle fibre in my groin but it's just the price you pay. You can always prop it up

I trained there up until the bear end of my red belt almost at yellow, I learned so much at gannons the only reason I stopped was due to moving to a different city, I have trained at several different martial arts gyms and found this on to be the best, the instructors are brilliant and give you the time of day if you have any questions or need helpful tips, I just wish there was a gannons were I live now, recommend to everyone regardless of skill level or age
