Ash’s passion for the sport started when he was a young boy, however he did not start training himself until his early 20s. Staying dedicated to the sport with a young family was difficult, but ultimately, his passion to compete was enough to push him and now he has nearly a decade of experience. This has allowed Ash to build a complex understanding on how the sport works, evolves and the determination it takes for people to get started on the path to competition. Ash has coached and cornered fighters of varying levels and age groups. Ash’s training classes are suited to amatures and tailored to fighters who are competing at the highest level of amateur competition in the UK. Ash is highly skilled in grappling, this has given him unique opportunities to travel abroad and train with some of the best competition No-Gi grapplers in Europe. Ash implements his knowledge to his classes, teaching new and innovative techniques to Avaddon gym members adapting a range of styles to suit the range of abilities.
