Testimonials
David Leech
I highly reccommend Personal Training with Pindi in Muay Thai, MMA and the Fillipino arts. Pindi will push you to exceed your abilities every session while at the same time give you excellent technical knowledge and coaching. I have trained at many of the top mma/thai gyms in the uk and none have been able to offer the complete package of training and technique that Pindi and all the coaches at TMA can offer. One of the most impressive aspects of Pindi is that he constantly seeks out the best coaches in the world to improve his own fighting abilites so you can be assured you are learning from the highest level! Wether you choose one on one training or to take part in the many classes at TMA you will find from the moment you walk in a very welcoming, friendly atmosphere with no egos!

I met Pindi by accident as I was on my way to another gym to train someone and ended up at the TMA Academy in which I met a man called Luckywho I know now as Pindi's dad and we got talking and he filled me in about his son who was a fighter who did Thai Boxing, MMA /CSW, & Brazilian Jiu - Jitsu so we got talking and I arranged to train Pindi. He took to the boxing training like a duck to water, I was surprised just how quick he picked things up and when his fitness levels got to a high level he was able to do much more. I love the way he can move around the ring now and use all the space which is available to him and the way he can box going forward but what really impressed me was the way he took to bobbing and weaving and boxing off the ropes. He is a really good student and listens and studies everything he is being told. I recommend to anyone who wants to learn his profession that he is one of the best out there and now with his floor work and his hand speed he is a formidable danger to any opponent.If he wasn't doing MMA I would sign Pindi up to box under mebecause I am sure that he will be able to become a champion whether it is Thai Boxing, MMA or boxing and I hope he reaches his goal.

Mission Statement
Total Martial Arts Academy's is dedicated to the highest levels of training and individual improvement in the martial arts. Through the latest innovations and best research into traditional methods, we will offer our students the best training possible. The goals of this training are
The personal improvement of each student:
Martial arts can teach students about their own strengths and challenges. We believe all people have unlimited potential and that it is our job to bring that out. We will help students to feel more secure through knowledge of self defence. We will show you the step by step progressions toward your improvement.
Fostering Cultural Appreciation:
As you learn martial arts from different cultures you will come to appreciate those cultures and people. The most profound lessons are in the way the arts work well together. Martial arts from different cultures not only fit together, they depend on each other to move forward.
Teaching and maintaining open – mindedness:
Martial arts teach us to keep our minds open to new methods and ideas. Each art has a unique perspective. Learning to see issues from many different perspectives is a part of your development.
Instilling personal responsibility:
As you learn methods that are designed to hurt other human beings you will be constantly reminded of your personal responsibility in this world. It is our hope that the skills of this art will only be used in the most desperate situations. Martial artists tend to be more peaceful because of their training and confidence.
To promote health and fitness:
Training in the martial arts is a great stress release. The workouts will challenge even the fittest individuals and are designed to allow any type of student to “work up to” their physical potential Total body workouts have always been a standard for martial art.
To have some fun!
We have done away with the “serious” nature of martial arts training. Our environment is easy going and, most of all, fun!
