About Us
Lions MMA opened it’s first door in December 2010 and we have continued to grow and work closely with Sevedaars across the UK and Punjab.
Lions MMA is different to your regular local martial arts club, unlike other clubs all Lions MMA clubs are run from Gurdwara premises. Whether that be in the gurdwara complex itself, Gurdwara gyms or Gurdwara Community Centres. This is a very important factor behind Lions MMA. The reasoning behind this is to encourage the Sikh youth to train some form of martial art in a relaxed family environment and somewhere they feel comfortable to train. Amongst fellow Sikh brothers and Sisters.
Having the opportunity to use the Gurdwara premises allows the Sikh youth to learn a form of self-defence whilst at the same time encouraging the youth to visit the Gurdwara.
It is very important for us as Sikh to understand our history and self-defence is a very important within Sikh history. From the introduction of wrestling by Guru Angad Dev Ji, the emergence of Shastar Vidya and the rise of the Saint Soldier by Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji through to the idea of fighting for truth, irrespective of faith and religious denomination created by Guru Gobind Singh Ji and the Khalsa Panth.
We at Lions MMA feel it is for us to embrace such characteristics given to us by our guru’s and to actively train martial arts to whatever level that may be. To compete as a fighter, fitness or for personal self-defence. We as Sikhs are a vulnerable race and we need to take steps to defend ourselves, our Gurdwaras, our families and the rest of the community.
If you want your child or yourself to gain confidence, discipline, and self-esteem then LIONS MMA is your answer. This is accomplished while enjoying a good workout, traditional training, and a family atmosphere. Students at LIONS MMA follow these criteria; spirit, dedication, loyalty, open mind, and willingness to train. Learning Martial Arts is something everyone can do, so see what separates LIONS MMA from everyone else.
