Armoured Combat Gloucester

It has been nothing short of a pleasure training with these people. It has always been a friendly and welcoming place with a superb vibe and ethos - so much so that I gladly spend over an hour one way travelling to.Every session you leave you feel as if you have learned something. I have never found such a strong blend of martial prowess, friendship, fitness and camaraderie in one place.If you have ever thought about doing it- just come over and try it. In life you often regret the things you didn't do the most.

I was really nervous and wasn't sure what to expect when i first started but i immediately felt comfortable and welcomed. i thought it would be a few sessions before i got to participate in any sparring but we were in the list from night one i had a few aches a pains the next day but the feeling while taking part was a hard one to describe i would definitley recommend it to anyone.

If you're wondering whether or not to join - just do it, you will not regret it! I started following a purely impulse buy late at night based on a sponsored ad on Facebook for their HMB Foundations course. I was extremely nervous when I rocked up for the first session of the course, not knowing what to expect and being well aware that I, to put it mildly, wasn't as fit as I once was (I blame lockdown but it definitely was from well before that!). I needn't have worried - Jake, Ira and the rest of the existing members have been welcoming, eager to impart their wisdom and genuinely just want everybody who walks through the doors to love the sport as much as they do. I come out buzzing; I see improvement and feel stronger and fitter each session, and get nothing but support and encouragement from everyone. Looking forward to learning more in the new year.

I joined Armoured Combat Gloucester, about 3 years ago, after suffering a lot with anxiety and depression. I found myself surrounded by the best bunch of guys and girls you could ask for! Unfortunate im not apart of the team anymore due to work commitments but have brilliant memories of travelling to places I'd never would have done before I joined them!If you are thinking about joining trust me and just go for your first sessions you won't regret it!I'll be back once I get my work life sorted again.

I signed up for the beginner sessions after seeing the Facebook page and thinking it looked fun... I was wrong.It's /stupidly/ fun and everyone is so nice and supportive! The coaches know their stuff but everyone is happy to give you tips and encouragent. If you're looking for a hobby that leaves you bruised, breathless but buzzed afterwards I'd recommend buhurt!

I started just over a year ago after I saw a video of the 150vs150 fight. It was exciting if not a little intimidating going for the first time but everyone was warm and welcoming. Between the captain and vice captain there is the right balance of focus, compassion and leadership to draw the best out of anyone who is prepared to step in the list, I've never felt judged there even when my performance has been poor (which has been often).Within the club I've had the privilege to meet some of the most brilliant dedicated and lovely people who have caught me skills that I never would have learnt otherwise.ACG is like a family, there is always someone to help you, to guide you and to just have an enjoyable experience with. Which as a person with a varied amount of mental health problems I really rely on to keep me even, I always feel supported and driven just by being in their presence.You'll get in the best fitness of your life both physically and emotionally. You'll get to do things out of the norm and have opportunities that simply can not be missed.Come see us and go for it, so you can share in this.

First training session as a complete new comer to any combat sport went fantastically. Trainers were knowledgeable and I cannot wait for next training. Any one looking to get into this sport I can recommend armoured combat Gloucester.

Where to begin… the short and curlies - Such a great group and community. Good vibes 11/10, Good soup material.To any new or aspiring individuals looking to join a sport thats fun, active, and different to every other basic sport out there… You’ve come to the right place!Everyone is close knit, chatty and friendly and unlike other sport very open armed and welcoming!More than willing to encourage you, giving you tips and advice, helping you to get stuck in on the action and feel like a badass in the process regardless of your knowledge on the sport.Anyone who goes along to a session will be hard pressed to walk away without having a good time. After two sessions, you’ll be hooked with a new life long sport. I know thats what happened to me!

Booked on the beginners package which consists of two 150 minute training sessions on consecutive weeks. The guys and ladies are very friendly and soon had us working through stances, foot work and strikes culminating in one on one fights using padded equipment. Really enjoyed it!
