Fight Ministry Gym

Fight Ministry. Home to professional fighters

Tuesdays and Thursdays 6.30 to 8.00pm. These sessions are not beginners sessions nor are they advanced.

These two sessions will provide a structured continual process of study in three phases. 1) Stand-up. 2) Wrestling. 3) Groundwork.

Building a strong fundamental base focusing on technique posture and movement in these three areas will provide a platform for a student to build a solid and rounded fundamental game. On Tuesday we concentrate on groundwork on Thursdays stand-up.

At the age of twenty seven he passed the examination for Sandan making him, aged twenty seven the youngest 3rd degree black belt within the English Karate-do association.

Kumite (fighting) played a large part of Karate's kyu and dan grading syllabus but it was competing against fighters from other systems in open tournaments that triggered interest outside of Karate, fighting against and training with practisioners of Shotokan, Shukokai, ****o ryu, Kyukoshinkai on various circuits that where prevalent throughout the eighties and nineties. These Gran Prix style tournaments attracted students from various fighting systems outside of Karate such as Lau Gar kung fu, Mugendo kick-boxing, Savate and Taekwondo.

After cutting ties with Karate in 2003 for a number of reasons, Neal Opened a training space within Grimsby Leisure Centre. Grimsby NHB Balcony gym was in operation for four years before moving to Wilton Road in 2009 to form the Fight Ministry training facility
