Southampton's complete MMA gym

Real MMA training requires three things: high-quality striking coaches, high-quality grappling coaches, and a culture that lets you put it all together. Limitless is one of the very few gyms in Southampton (and the wider Hampshire area - Eastleigh, Totton, Hedge End, Portsmouth) where you get all three under one roof. You can train pure boxing on Monday, BJJ on Tuesday, kickboxing on Wednesday, judo on Thursday and put it all together in an MMA class - all on one membership.

MMA for hobbyists, fighters and everyone in between

Most of our MMA members are hobbyists - people who love watching the UFC, want the full martial arts experience, and want to be properly fit. A smaller group competes on the amateur and pro circuit, and we have a dedicated fight team for anyone who wants to test themselves. Whichever camp you're in, you'll find your level - and you'll never be pressured to compete.
