Training in Middlesbrough

[N!ck]

Hi, first post on here so hello all.
I've been training MMA in Scotland (DNFT) where I am Mon - Thurs, but travel back to the North East for the weekends, and so am looking for somewhere to train from the Thurs night til the Sunday.
John Nicholson (DNFT) reccomended Abdul Mohamed, does anyone know if he is coaching at the min? Assuming he hasnt gone to the US? If so any contact details? I've googled it, tried Yell and searched these forums but no joy. Having searched I've seen Cliff Pollard mentioned, but again no contact details. Any help would be great cheers.

Abdul has his own gym in the Boro mate, but from what I can gather its mainly wrestling.

There is Akurai which is Stockton mate and they offer everything. They train out of Teeside Muai Thai

Cheers

[N!ck]

Cheers Mikey, Cliff has been in touch and John has put me in touch with Jamie Taylor (I'm assuming thats Akurai), so sorted now.
Thanks

Hi all,

i have been thinking of going down to the one at ormesby, i have been in contact with Cliff and he said to go down, i am new to it all and was wondering if it is the sort of place for a beginner to go and start from scratch, i have done a couple of years of boxing in my late teens which might help?

cheers

Team Akurai in Stockton is also very, very good. Lots of beginners right through to pros. Run by Jamie T and Nathen B off here. Classes are Mon, Wed and Friday 730 till 9.

[Dmjohn2000]

Theres alot of good gyms in Boro I would recomend only people with prior training go to Abduls, hes a great trainer but trains hard I enjoy going at weekends. I also enjoyed training at Cliff I think its a great place for a beginner to start especially for learning grappling. And lastly Team Akurai is fun to train with no egos and good for all comers with classes set up for beginners right through to pro level with 6 pro fighters regulary training and coaching there.

1 Jamie
2 Nathan
3 Mark "toe nails" Chen
4 John Dale
5 Tommy Greaves

[MikeyL]

toe nails?

[justlee]

toe nails?

dont kno how he got it, think john rodgers started it lol

[MikeyL]

i thought he might of had a crazy move lol

[Dmjohn2000]

Okay five smart arse if u werent so lazy it could have being u Leeboy

[Dmjohn2000]

Mark cut John lane and John Rodgers with high kicks hence crazy toe nails which slice people

[MikeyL]

ah I understand

[Jamie Taylor]

Josh K fights pro rules so Dan as right. Abduls gonna start coming down as well which should be fun....in a painful kind of way.

John injured everyone last night, he went into one.. snapping elbows, popping shoulders lol.

[justlee]

who's elbow did he snap, sort of figured who's shoulder went lol.

[justlee]

I could never fight pro,

with Josh and abdul that makes 8, then there is rich Dale to make 9, oh and Kane if he keeps it up.

[MikeyL]

I didnt know rich fought?

[justlee]

many moons ago he fought at a total combat show as pro, had a semi pro after that too

[MikeyL]

ah, dude is good on the deck good wrestling and bendy lol

[Jamie Taylor]

Richs wrestling and jits is awesome, he should fight but wont.

He fought Les Ojugbana who is very strong and pounded Rich from inside his guard. He wasn't really prepared for that and got beat but I'm sure he knows the score nowadays and could do very well if he chose to. He is too busy with uni stuff though, I would do the same to be fair.

[MikeyL]

destroyed me on the deck (everyone does tho lol)

[Dmjohn2000]

It would be awesome if Abduls gym and or gym combined. The boro and surrounding areas is getting a great place to train I cant wait for a good 7 seven days of training starting 2morow.

I was rolling with Josh last month and he went for my arm and I thought he had nothing and then my arm almost snapped before I could tap hes got some very good subs of his back and is gonna be a great fighter if he continues to progress. It was painful watching him fight at battlegrounds when he landed leg kick after leg kick I felt sorry for his oppenant.

[MikeyL]

are you at weight yet dan?

[Dmjohn2000]

No floating at 70 71 ish, Ive been called out for a 12 hour night shift 2nite. But ive got 8 days of so I will be at weight after next sunday. Gonna be training twice a day for the next week.

[MikeyL]

is it 68 your fighting at?

[Dmjohn2000]

Yeah I will do 68 easily then 67 for me next fight after. Then 65.5 there after

[MikeyL]

lol dan is planning at fighting at 40kg in the future

[Dmjohn2000]

Gonna have to post my pics before I started training. Im gonna buy a scanner so I can upload them

[MikeyL]

[Dmjohn2000]

[Dmjohn2000]

[Jamie Taylor]

Dan, training twice a day everyday a week before ya fight is a BIG mistake I will chat to you wednesday.

[MikeyL]

[davey_bear]

any one know of any gyms in or around darlo, middlesboro's a a fair way to travel for me

[MikeyL]

Team Akurai is in stockton mate

[davey_bear]

Do they have a website? and what's the gym like? Like is everyone pretty sound? i'd be new to the sport although i've been a fan for aaaaaaaaaages but there's nothing i'd hate more than to walk in the new guy and not feel welcome if you know what i mean

[MikeyL]

everyone is great mate. we have beginners right through to pros, both the trainers (nathen boyce and jamie taylor who are on this forum) are both excerlent coaches covering everything you will need.

There are plenty of lads off here that train there and im sure they will all tell you what a great atmosphe it is.

they are based out of teeside thai which has a website if you google it.

Akurai also has a face book group (search for mma stockton)

come down and have a watch or a bit of a try, there is no pressure to do anything your not comtable with
