TESTIMONIALS

"You can start from scratch all the way to competitions. You'll improve your fitness a lot, you'll meet good friends and the coach is awesome." 

​

Ludwig Pacifici - Kickboxing Student

 

​

Masters Academy in Loughton has been a great base for all of my martial arts training since 2011. I started off working with James doing Kickboxing and No-Gi and instantly loved the way he coached, his passion and knowledge of martial arts and how friendly all the other members are.

 

I am yet to attend a session that I have not enjoyed, and I always come out having learnt something about the practiced style or about myself and my own abilities. The assistant coaches on all the programs are also fantastic and really push you to develop your abilities. Rob always has great technical sessions in BJJ and Martyn’s conditioning sessions are second to none. This, for me, is definitely the best place to practice martial arts and work on your fitness.

 

Having been doing it my whole life, I have never found a place that draws me back in as much as Masters Academy Loughton does, and all their staff.  

 

Joe Warwick - Strength and Conditioning Coach

I've been training with James for nearly 15 years and I can tell you that he is the consummate Martial artist. His knowledge and skill in all aspects of the arts from Kickboxing to Wrestling, Weapons to Jiu Jitsu are wide and far reaching and his ability to impart these to his students is equally as well developed. When you are egaged in James' lessons you are getting very detailed technical content at the same time as finding yourself laughing in equal measure. This is a rare quality that James has used to produce some first class Martial artists and champions. It's no accident that James is so highly regarded amongst some of the best known and accomplished Martial artists in the World.

​

I've trained at Masters for over a decade in both Kickboxing and Grappling, and it's easy to see what's kept me here for so long. It's simply an incredible place to train alongside a knowledgeable, experienced coaching team and other like-minded teammates.

 

Training is highly technical and can be as competitive as you make it, whilst also being tailored to everyone's varying needs and abilities, by both the coaches and training partners.

Possibly the best aspect of training here is the strong sense of unity and bond within the Academy. Everyone is very well looked after and the overall atmosphere is always friendly. 

 

Discovering what you're really capable of every week is a huge motivation to keep pushing yourself through your limits, and this academy provides the perfect environment for this. I would absolutely recommend.

The atmosphere is relaxed, friendly and welcoming and caters for all ages and abilities. There are no egos and no pressure, you can train at your own pace, but if you want to be pushed, they'll push you! Come and see for yourself, you won't be disappointed!

 

Masters is a brilliant academy to learn martial arts, whether your a beginner or intermediate to advanced, there’s a great mix of students to train with.

On visiting Masters Academy for the first time I was greeted by friendly staff and members. 

The martial arts taught here by James and his team are second to none.  The team's knowledge & skill is a credit to the Academy.

The members have been so helpful to me even whilst training and if you are planning on training here you will experience exactly the same; so you can't go wrong.

James gets some of the best  Instructors from all around to come and teach seminars and I was extremely honored to be asked by him to teach a Jiujitsu seminar to his students here.
