Not-for-profit gym led by professional coaches & volunteers

 Valhalla is like a family everyone there looks out for each other and helps them grow as fighters and people.

 I just want to say how much Valhalla has changed my life. The transformation I've experienced is incredible, thanks to everyone who believed in me. I've achieved so much and couldn't have done it without their support. 

 Valhalla Martial arts has become my second home and those that i train with have become my second family. One of the most welcoming and knowledge rich gyms i have ever been too.

 I’ve been training at Valhalla for two years, with an 18-month break after breaking my ankle. At 43, struggling with mental health and nursing a broken ankle, I thought I’d never be back. It took a lot of courage at 40 to walk into a martial arts gym for the first time, and I’m glad it was Valhalla.

Valhalla is the only martial arts gym taught by seasoned professional coaches of different ages and experiences, with expertise in everything from glima, wrestling, and K1 to Muay Thai, and more. I’ve seen firsthand the positive impact Dean, Lee, and the rest of the Valhalla coaches have on everyone, from the fighters' class to beginners.

It was the best decision I made for my health, and it's an extremely fun way to keep fit.

 I've always struggled to lose weight, but joining Valhalla to get fit changed that. With the constant encouragement from the coaches, I lost 3 stone and became the fittest I've ever been. I even got the chance to fight, something I hadn't planned on, thanks to the endless support from the coaches and members. Despite my PTSD and initial anxiety, I was warmly welcomed, and it has done wonders for my mental and physical health. Thank you to everyone at Valhalla Martial Arts for helping me change my life for the better. 

 I’ve been a member of many gyms in the past, including those focused on weightlifting and boxing, but this gym truly stands out. What makes it special is how welcoming it is to everyone and the fact that it’s run by people who are genuinely passionate about what they do. There’s a big difference between running a gym as a business to make money and training people out of a genuine love for the sport and a desire to nurture talent within the gym.
