Sam profile

My martial arts journey started by playing Street Fighterand Mortal Kombat and watching MMA when I was younger as I never had the opportunity to train back then.

I began at The Martial Arts Place as a student at 23 years old, looking for new sport to focus on after spending most of my teen years playing basketball competitively. After spending about a year training and getting to grips with the technique, I started volunteering and assisting with the junior classes; doing this really helped my passion for kickboxing grow, I have now been an instructor for about 8years.

The thing I enjoy most about training and teaching at TMAP, is the community that has been built amongst the students. We all have our own individual goals that we’re working towards in the disciplines being taught, but everyone is willing to impart knowledge.
