Has anyone trained under Brendan Ingle ?

[Bateman]

I really like his style , his low hands so the upper body can move alot better.
I read he has some unorthodox training styles, has anyone trained under him ?

For boxing yes, for mma NO. His style is far too wide open to the unorthodx punches that occur in mma. Open to KO's. You need a high guard style of fighting for mma, unless your light and very fast.

Thanks, I understand all that , more interested what he did for Boxing.

what sort of training did he do , does he also train everyone in his camp in the same style ? heard he is big on body sparring ?

[Nak-Muay]

Yes he does and he also refuses to train kickboxers / MMA Fighters.

I trained with Herol Grahamwho I would imagine would follow Ingles methods. Loads and loads of stance and footwork stuff. He had some incredible angles despite out reaching him his stance meant I was always in range

* and all sparring of any note was to the body , he kept saying "hit me harder, pretend im black" which was quite off putting

saw herol sparring about a year ago with a mate of mine, that man moves like lightening for his age too fast.

When I Met him a few years ago he had just completed a 12 hour skip for charity the guy can move for sure!


glad to see he has opened a gym was a blinding bloke. Spoke about the Jackson loss and troubles in his life, you cannot help but warm to him. If I lived in sheffield id be there in a flash

he also appreciates other arts although had to be shown a subs at full pace to believe it (not from me i might add )

Herol has just opened his own boxing gym in Sheffield next door to Gracie Barra (on Lancing Road, near the Sheffield Un***d ground if you're interested). He's a bit of character, to say the least. I used to love watching him fight; one of several excellent boxers from Sheffield.
