ABOUT DARREN

My passion and love for combat sports started from a very young age. I began kickboxing when I was 7 and moved onto karate and amateur boxing in my early teens. By 16 I had reached an international fighting level and focused my attention on becoming a professional mixed martial artist. 
​
Shortly after qualifying as a personal trainer from CSN College in Cork, Ireland, I moved to London to pursue a career as a professional fighter and I currently compete in the Cage Warriors championship. In parallel to my professional fighting, I continue to coach adult and children's Muay Thai, strength and conditioning and MMA at the MMA Clinic’s various locations. 
​
I aspire to bring joy to my clients through my enthusiastic approach to martial arts and movement training. I aim to improve all areas of your life and as a student of yoga, movement and breath work myself, I believe in the power of a positive mindset and the impact it has on your health and happiness.

​

Hard work, determination and optimism are critical to achieving success in life. The discipline and confidence that comes through learning martial arts will help you realise this and bring the same mentality to whatever you set your mind to.

​

I pride myself in bringing an uplifting energy to all of my sessions and using every class and 1-2-1 to help my clients smash their own personal goals. I will push you to reach your potential and be a positive mentor when you need it most.
