MEET THE
TEAM.
Coaches, staff and support roles working together to create the standards, structure and environment behind Praetorian MMA.
THE PEOPLE BEHIND
PRAETORIAN MMA.
Praetorian MMA is built by a team of coaches, staff and support roles all contributing to the wider environment people experience when they walk through the doors.
Every individual brings different experience, strengths and responsibilities to the club. Some focus on technical coaching, some on striking, youth development, safeguarding, operations, media or member support. Together, those roles help create a structured and professional environment where people can train, improve and feel part of something long term.
Whilst each coach and team member has their own personality and approach, everybody works towards the same standards and the same goal — helping people grow through martial arts in a positive and supportive environment.
