At LJMU MMA, we focus on learning various martial arts & self defence techniques; including  Boxing, Kickboxing, Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu & Wrestling.

We aim to provide students the basics of our sport whilst encouraging them to stay fit and improve their self-confidence.

For those who excel, there will be opportunities to compete in various competitions throughout the year!

With a large active social group, the club also engages in numerous social events. We have also secured sponsorship for the year from Revolution & and with two dedicated Social Secs within the club, we are positive there will be events for everyone to enjoy!

Anyone is welcome to the sessions, from complete beginners to those with experience!

So come down and try out our sessions and learn something different whilst keeping fit! 

Our training facility is Next Generation MMA, located at 78 Kempston Street, Liverpool, L3 8HE.

For the sessions, all you need is generic gym wear (avoiding any zips / hard buttons) and a bottle of water. Please also note that all types of jewelry must be removed before training. Mixed Martial Arts gyms also maintain high hygiene standards by requesting all members to keep on top of personal hygiene and also making sure finger/toenails are kept short to avoid possible injuries while training.

The gym will be able to provide you with everything else necessary, but if you do own any of the following please bring them along;

- Boxing Gloves (12Oz or above)

- Gum Shield

- Shin Guards

- Hand Wraps

MMA is a sport that anyone can take part in, it brings people from all walks of life together and all egos are left at the door, so whether you love the sport or you want to try something new whilst having fun, MMA is the place to be. Over the last two years, the club has become more than just a club, it has become a family, and our members will welcome you in as one of our own from the moment you step foot inside the gym. That’s why when you join the club you will naturally make some great friendships and memories that will last for life!

Our socials mostly take place on Wednesday nights or sometimes on a Saturday night when there’s a big fight night taking place. For those who aren’t big drinkers, our socials also include team meals and other daily activities that everyone within the club gets to decide on!

For those that have never done MMA but want to compete for us, we also enter regular competitions and enter people from all experience levels, so you don’t have to be at a certain level to enter into our competitive team. In 2019 we entered the famous Empire Grappling contest and one of our members who had just joined MMA won a bronze medal! Our other members came away with gold, silver, and bronze medals too! If we believe that you can hold your own then we’re going to do everything we can to support you as a team to excel in competitions!

The sport of MMA is ever-growing and as a club, we are too. We want to be the club that gives you the best university experience – so sign up and join our family today!
