I’ve been training at lion's since 2012, and now my daughter has been doing jiu-jitsu since 2022. It’s a great, family-friendly gym with amazing coaches and a really supportive team. No matter your level or goals, they help you to keep learning and enjoying the journey.

I joined Lions Gym over 10 years ago, and from day one, the gym has been great, and getting better with each passing year! I'm very glad that at the beginning of my journey in martial arts, I crossed paths with Lions Gym and these wonderful people. I know that thanks to them, I've reached a level that now allows me to compete in big global events. Thank you, Lions! Highly recommended!!

Best gym in town! I can’t recommend the kickboxing classes at Lions Gym in Coventry enough. Coaches James and Mak are doing an absolutely fantastic job, especially with the kids. They’re not just teaching technique — they’re building confidence, discipline, and respect in a really positive and supportive environment. Both James and Mak are highly skilled and genuinely passionate about what they do. They know how to keep the sessions fun, engaging, and challenging, and they always take the time to make sure every child feels included and encouraged. If you’re thinking about getting your child into kickboxing or just looking for a great place to train, this is definitely the gym to check out!

I’ve only been going to lions gym for half a year now but in the short amount of time I’ve been at lions the amount of knowledge and progress I’ve made in mixed martial arts is unreal.The coaches are amazing and passionate about fighting and the time spent in the gym is always worth it.

Lions gym is the place to go whether you’re an eager learner trying to learn a new sport or a dedicated athlete trying to upgrade you’re game. Came into the gym over a year ago with no prior knowledge on martial arts to competing consistently for the gym. The coaches there have built an environment that feels like more than just a gym but a family.

Lions Gym has been at the heart of my filmmaking and photography career for more than a decade. When my brother James was still an enthusiastic amateur, he encouraged me to come along and shoot some stills. Back then, the Martial Arts provision was in a small back room, long before the MMA boom that followed soon after, and since then has developed into a tailor made facility fully equipped to deliver top level coaching and training across whichever discipline you choose to practice there. Raj welcomed me with open arms, as did every coach and member who stepped onto the mats. What many on the outside might have considered intimidating at the time, I was fortunate enough to experience as something very different. That environment sparked my creativity in a direction I would never have expected. Lions Gym is a truly special place, built from grassroots here in Coventry. It grew beyond being just a gym or a business, creating and sustaining a genuine family environment. Although that phrase is used often these days, Lions Gym stood out to me far more than any other gym I have ever entered. Call me biased because of my brother if you like, but I owe a huge part of my career to this gym. From my interpersonal skills to my photography and filmmaking, and now my teaching at Coventry University, Lions Gym became my creative playground. It will always be a home away from home whenever I need it. What Raj and James, together with incredible talents such as Braulio Estima, Jimmy Wallhead and Andre Winner, have built here in Coventry will echo for many years to come. Raj, James and the entire coaching team and members continue to work tirelessly to make the gym the beating heart of MMA, Jiu-Jitsu and kickboxing in the city. Give it a go, jump on the mats and have a laugh. You will not be disappointed.
