Hi Matt,

Yea MMA has really started to take off very quickly,saying that there are alot of well established gyms though from N.Ireland who fight quite a bit in the UK, those guys have been round for some time now.

My own gym started as an Urban Krav Maga club and started a beginner fight team as when you take away the banned moves from Krav Maga you more or less have the same techniques used in MMA. Our sparring was vitrually the same although we would use alot of eye and groin strikes etc when training for the street.

With the Clan Wars promotion we are running now with the cheap easy jet and flybe flights to bring more guys from England,Scotland and Wales over to compete in the event.
