WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Chris Rose, Coach
James Cobra Cahill doing his thing, a fantastic coach and a brilliant person. Did so much in my early career that I talk to my students about now. A person who leaves you energised, lifted and motivated. So good to see Gabriel following in his footsteps

I’ve been training at VMA now for about six months. I’ve built up to training several times a week and my two teenage daughters also come along. We’ve all found this club to be absolutely brilliant. James and Jed, and the assistant coaches, couldn’t be more knowledgeable and helpful. The club embodies a great balance between allowing you to progress at your own pace while also pushing you enough to achieve things that you never thought that you could. Since training at VMA, my fitness level has improved significantly (it was pretty low when I started out) and my Jiu Jitsu skills are also starting to improve. My daughters love training and they have both gained confidence on the mats and interacting with people generally. We’ve met a great bunch of people, from all walks of life, who are all friendly and respectful. We love the club, the people, and new skills that we’ve learned and continue to learn. Valley Martial Arts has, for us, begun a lifelong obsession with the martial arts.
