Services
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu develops grappling and ground-fighting skills, enabling smaller practitioners to overcome larger opponents through technique. Our programme builds self-defence capabilities, physical fitness and mental discipline using structured belt progression. Classes cater to beginners through advanced competitors with expert coaching from black belt instructors.
Muay Thai
Our Muay Thai classes teach Thailand's national martial art focusing on stand-up striking and clinch techniques. Students learn to use fists, elbows, knees and shins effectively while developing cardiovascular fitness, core strength and defensive awareness. Sessions include pad work, sparring and traditional conditioning methods for authentic skill development.
Mixed Martial Arts
MMA training integrates striking, grappling and ground-fighting techniques from multiple disciplines. Our programme develops well-rounded combat athletes through technical drills, sparring sessions and competition preparation. Coaches with professional fighting experience guide students in practical self-defence applications and tournament readiness across all skill levels.
Children's Martial Arts
Specialised martial arts instruction for children aged 3-16 builds physical coordination, confidence and discipline. Our curriculum combines fundamental techniques with character development through structured belt systems. Family training sessions encourage intergenerational learning while maintaining age-appropriate safety standards in a supportive environment.
Personal Training
Private coaching sessions provide tailored martial arts instruction for individual goals. Whether preparing for competition, improving specific techniques or pursuing fitness objectives, our expert instructors create customised training plans. Sessions accommodate solo trainees, small groups and family units with flexible scheduling options outside regular class times.

What you'll notice first when walking in to Flo is how clean and tidy everything is - not always the case with other gyms. Being on time, being respectful, training light and focusing on technique; all this flows (pun intended) from the ethos of the folks in charge. They're not teaching you what to train, but how to train - a far more important lesson. Can't recommend it enough, especially for youngsters!

A professional, friendly, and safe place to train. Clean and modern training facility that caters to everyone from children, to competitive fighters, to oldies like me who are just trying to stay physically and mentally healthy. Incremental exposure to BJJ training via the 101 class. Not just thrown in at the deep end. Knowledgeable instructors. A range of payment plans to suit personal circumstances. I train BJJ just twice a week and my past year at Flo has still been a very worthwhile investment.

Very good professional gym, has multiple paths that you can chose to train, very good coaches, everyone is very friendly, kind and considerate with the fact that some people might take longer to learn, they have good competition classes which can compete with everywhere, it is the cleanest gym I've ever been to, and they make all new people feel very welcome. I would 100% encourage anyone that wants to train to come here .

Been a member of Flo for a while now. Great place to train. Friendly staff and members too. I can thoroughly recommend it to anyone wishing to get fit or try martial arts for the first time. Great set-up and value for money too.
