We are pleased to announce we’re once again supporting Great Yarmouth Martial Arts (GYMA) in providing safety equipment for mixed martial arts, judo, and self-defence classes.
Back in November 2021, we supported GYMA with new crash mats and these have been so beneficial to the success of the club that two larger crash mats are needed for their multiple group practice sessions.
Run by Head Coach, Peter Esposito, the not-for-profit community club offers sessions from three venues in Great Yarmouth: Century Training Academy, St Paul's Church and St Mary's Church. The club offers coaching in Judo, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ), Wrestling, Kickboxing, Muay Thai, Boxing, Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) and supports women’s empowerment with Self-Defence classes.
The club is dedicated to promoting physical and mental wellbeing to all abilities and ages from 5 years upwards and offers all sessions at £1.
Activities on offer can help improve fitness, coordination, mental stamina and social skills; increase flexibility and mobility; aid weight loss; help maintain better mental health, mindfulness and personal confidence; and provides trauma respite. The club is keen to encourage new members to join and is proud to be fully inclusive, offering all sessions at £1.
Head Coach, Peter Esposito said “These children really appreciate very large safety mats that GYS&L Trust have helped us acquire - great for safely promoting their mental & physical health.”
