MMA Striking Coach Course!







"The Functional MMA Striking Coach Course is excellent for martial artists and instructors that want to gain a greater understanding of the key elements to develop maximum power and control of power - as well as the mental game plan required to achieve their training and competing goals. Since completing the course I feel I am much better equipped to assess and develop my students through gaining a more complete understanding of kinetic body mechanics and also through being more aware of learning processes and the communication skills required to transfer knowledge much more effectively.

Big thanks to Alan who does an exceptional job of delivering the course in a very fun and interesting way. Highly recommended for all intermediate and advanced martial arts practitioners!"

"It's difficult to express succinctly all the benefits of the Warrior Functional MMA striking Course but I'll do my best

If you want to learn how to strike with power without getting injured.
If you want to teach others to do the same.
If you want the tools to coach others to develop themselves from basic physical fitness to advanced MMA striking and conditioning.

If you want an introduction to amazing conditioning tools like kettlebells and Clubbells.
And if you want to do all this in a systematic way in an enjoyable environment with one of the very best teachers to be found in the UK.. Then don't hesitate. This course is for you!

On November 19 and 20 I attended the first ever MMA striking coach course. I was so impressed with the quality of the material covered in this course, from principles of power development, body alignment, mental focus etc etc and a solid basic stand up game battle tested in the cage with proper training guidelines.

Personally I really liked the drills on how to develop kinetic links in your body.

Sifu Alan Orr has a wealth of experience in Martial Arts and did not leave a stone unturned, this course is profound and very well researched. It does not teach your some techniques and tools but principles and concepts that will impact your understanding on striking forever.

I can highly recommend this course to anybody – regardless which Martial Arts you practice and if you are a trainer or student – it will improve your game for sure.

As a personal trainer I thought I knew a lot about coaching clients, but Alan’s Functional MMA Striking course showed me how much more there is to learn! There’s simply nothing as comprehensive out there. On a physical level, we covered everything from padwork combinations, to the development of power to the latest in biomechanical conditioning methods. On the emotional level, we learned how to dig deeper into our physical resources while maintaining skill levels under pressure. On the mental level, Alan showed how to use cutting-edge neuroscience and Jungian psychology to improve coaching skills and therefore my client’s performane. All in all, a systematic mixture of theory and tough physical training. The result? My ability to teach solid striking technique and hold the pads for my clients has improved exponentially. Many thanks Alan, I look forward to taking things to the next level!

This is why I am so proud of my teacher




My teacher Robert Chu Sifu picking up is BJJ Blue Belt. I am so proud to have such an open minded teacher. My teacher is a master of Wing Chun as well as many other arts. But he is still keeping up with the direction of martial arts into MMA in order to be aware student needs and his own personal growth.

I titled this as 'why I am so proud', but really it is only one of many reasons!

More Medals !!

Well Done Kieron

Kieron has had a busy few months.

He had a big Semi Pro MMA win in London at 10th Legion 7 in March

But one to take it easy he returned to battle at 10th Legion 8 in Hull

After a very tough fight Kieron's fight ended as a Split Draw

It was a very close fight. Kieron rocked his opponent in the first round and was in charge for the first half, the second half his opponent pulled back some ground. A close first round. Second round was all Kieron and the third was his opponents.

So all in all a great fight for both fighters.

Well done Kieron. We are all very proud!!

Also well done to Branch Head Instructor Duane and also training partner James for getting our Kieron in shape for war.

Iron Wolves aarrccooooooo00000!!!!
