Russell is a great instructor and teacher with a wealth of knowledge and experience. As well as basic, strong, effective techniques there is emphasis on embodying the conscious awareness, intention and willpower necessary for prevailing in real world situations. The group is friendly and focused. I highly recommend Maverick Combatives.

I’ve been training with Russel for over a year and the classes have been fantastic. They’ve helped me improve massively and given me a lot more confidence. I’d highly recommend anyone to come along and try their first session.

Great place to learn self defence skills and vibe with friendly people..Russell is well educated across many types of combat sports and teaches not just the flow of defence, he teaches why it matters and what to do after. Each week has a lovely vibe, first session is free... Bonus !! 🙂
