Hybrid Mixed Martial Arts was founded by myself 'Darren Norris' in September 2006.
After over 17 years of training and teaching in other styles such as Escrima, Kickboxing and Free Style Kung fu I decided it was time to finally realise my dream.

At the time Plymouth was crying out for a forward thinking club. One that could offer members the very best bits from many different styles and disciplines whilst at the same time being accessible to all. My sole goal was to develop a system that embraced other styles strengths without being forced to adopt their weaknesses.

Now please don't get me wrong, I have the greatest respect for traditional styles and there practitioners. I simply want to give our students the opportunity to experiment with a widest possible variety of styles from around the globe.

In addition I wanted to bring martial arts training up to the 21th Century. I honestly believe that if the founders of many of these traditional systems were alive today they would very rapidly adapt their styles to meet the modern threats as well as making use of the very latest training methods and technologies.

That's where we come in!
Hybrid Mixed Martial Arts prides its self on the fact that it is constantly evolving. No two lessons are the same. We are constantly exploring and testing. Searching for better techniques and training methods.

Our team of instructors feel passionate about martial arts and want to share their knowledge with as many people as possible. Although our instructors come from many different martial arts back grounds they all share one common training ethos.

'If it works we will use it, if we find something that works better we change it!'

Hundreds of students have already experienced why Hybrid has become one of the fastest growing martial arts club in Plymouth and the South West!

We look forward to meeting and training with you soon.
