Gloucester Martial Arts: Mr Alan Carter & Mr Martin Paradine

Gloucester Martial Arts is the new Brockworth based club born from two clubs joined together from Martin Paradine's Taekwondo and Alan Carter's AFC (AFCMPT). Obviously I've been with Mr P since 2003 and then met Mr C late in 2007 as I trained my backside off for my black-belt grading. I now train in both disciplines and have been under Mr C's watchful gaze for the last six months.

I can't say enough good things about them, and the other instructors. It's a great club, well run and open to everyone - there will be an official website up and running very soon, when that appears I'll post the link here.

All sorts of options are open, just getting yourself fit, Taekwondo & Kick-boxing, full-contact, point-stop, semi-contact continuous, boxcersize - just about anything! If you go full-contact you'll be stepping up with some awesome male & female fighters.

Gloucester Martial Arts New Gym

Alan Carter has opened up a new gym for the full-contact and MMA fighters at the top end of Barton Street (Francis Woodcock Trading Est) in Gloucester.

Gloucester Martial Arts Extreme (GMAX) will now have it's fighters based there and hopefully heady times are ahead. The gym is kitted to the highest standard wih a fully matted training area, heavy hanging bags, grappling dummy's and fitness equipment - not to mention a cage!

I had the pleasure of an hours training today which was fantastic and which I really enjoyed - my hands are still shaking and without my wrist support I think my wrist would just fall off! I'm a million light years away from these talented guys and girls but I can still stick in 100% effort and give all I have - certainly did that today!

Here are some pictures of the new place which is still taking shape and will soon be getting a bit bigger.
