Are you ready to rumble? If you’re not, there is a place you can learn. The East-West Combat Club in Liverpool promises to not only get you into better shape, but also train you like the next UFC champion. Having recently experienced what the club has to offer I can tell you that they most certainly keep their promises.
Highly touted as a black belt school East-West is led by head instructors Hermes Franca and Marc Gervais. These teachers give excellent instruction and positive reinforcement in every class, something that made me wanting to keep going back for more. Both are also veteran combat competitors and have a very deep knowledge of what they teach. Franca has been a regular in the Ultimate Fighting Championship and is also a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu. Gervais is also a 4th degree black belt and experienced mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter. Together in running East-West they constantly promote “modesty, courtesy, patience, self control and a never ending indomitable spirit”.
No experience is needed before attending classes and all of the instructors go out of their way to work with you. It ended up being one of the most positive experiences I have ever had the chance to be involved with and look forward to more classes down the road. “All of our students tell us after a short amount of time that they see huge boosts in self discipline, self esteem, and never ending improvement” reads a statement on the official club web site.
If you are undecided if these types of classes are right for you, East-West offers a free two-week introductory period. Simply visit www.eastwestcombatclub.com and enter your email address to be given a special coupon for this limited time offer. These aren’t just average karate classes; intense self-defense skills, striking and grappling are taught as well. Classes are offered twice a week but members are also permitted to take up to four classes a week if they so choose. Pricing plans are discussed at the end of the free trial, at the same time that the instructors work with you towards developing an individual training program.
The East-West Combat Club is a unique organization that strives to bring out the best in itself and all of its members. The introductory classes are excellent at showing what they have to offer…but be warned, you’ll still feel the effects days later.
So if you’re looking to rumble, or at least want to expand your horizons a bit, look no further than the East-West Combat Club.
