my name is Alec Connelly. I started training when

I was 15 years old.

going to folkstone amature Boxing Club as a hobby which my friend introduced me too. 

after boxing I started watching Pride FC and UFC and was a huge fan, this led me to want to try MMA. 

shortly after, I found a kickboxing gym as this was the nearest thing to mma i could find. I trained every day and was competing in interclubs and amateur fights.

​

Then I met my head coach Jack Magee.

Jack see lots of holes in my game and changed up my style.

helped me develop toughness through hard sparring and gruelling training sessions. This was when I started to grow and start winning fights. in MMA, K1 kickboxing and Muay Thai. 

This was also when i started my BJJ journey, winning most my MMA fights by submission.

whilst training every day at madhatters in Kent, i began taking beginner classes, teaching kids and adults BJJ, MMA and striking. this led me to move to Chichester where I was training full-time.

​

15 years later...

Now I'm 30 years of age and solely focused on the striking aspect of combat sports. This is what I love. 

the mixture of boxing and kickboxing to create a solid, effective way of striking without being too fancy and leaving yourself in a vulnerable situation. 

​

I teach because I believe everybody should learn how to fight and know self-defence.
