The Warrior Scholar
Fight Training at Five Rings Training is not a sport, it is a highly equipping vehicle for change.
The Goal is capability maturity matched with spiritual maturity: a goal pursued through equal count of Physical Training & Spiritual Study.
The State to reach-to is inner balance and inner peace, with an ease to recover to centre when you need to most.
The Knowledge to reach-to is the understanding of the processes for restoration and inner peace, outward peace, calm in the face of adversity, and why Physical Capability needs to be matched with Spiritual Reliance.
The study programmes at our Elite Athlete Pro-Training Camp focus on gently guiding you through study journeys which mentally equip you and spiritually build you. Find out more below:

" I am indebted to the Five Rings Training team for the highly professional training that they deliver to everyone, with patience and clarity and for how Five Rings Training has positively cultivated all areas of my life."
"Congratulations on the magnificent results of your well-prepared and highly-skilled fighting force, which you so admirably prepared."
"[Five Rings Training Founder] inspires me and reminds me that you can always do better, push further, there is always progress to be made, and your body and mind can work wonders if you appreciate how they must be trained."
“FRT Mixed Martial Arts has influenced my life today in so many ways it is impossible to list them in any abbreviated way. Before training with Five Rings Training I had undertaken classes with a number of different coaches, not as well qualified as Five Rings' team. It wasn’t until I began my training with Five Rings that I stopped seeing martial arts as a sport, [and] instead a way of pushing your body’s limits and continually advancing in a discipline that demands respect and brings people together in ways I could never imagine. Five Rings Training is the most accessible, motivated, tough, hardworking, technical and fun loving Mixed Martial Arts organisation I think could possibly exist across the globe."

Endurance Fighting
“Mixed Martial Arts training at Five Rings Training has had an incredible impact on my life. Prior to FRT MMA, I never knew I could be this passionate about a sport. As a combination of several different fighting styles, it requires incredible speed, strength, flexibility, and stamina both physical and mental, and the constant sparring with other members of Five Rings has pushed me to constantly improve all of these and keep challenging myself. In addition, FRT MMA training has made me a happier person overall by giving me a way to let off steam, and a space twice a week where I can turn my head off completely and focus on nothing but my breathing, my movements and what my opponent will do next, in a setting where I know we are all pushing each other to improve and grow.”
"I trained with [Five Rings Training Founder] from knowing absolutely nothing about martial arts or fighting to having won the very first Tournament I entered [to become World Champion].The tournament was a bare-knuckle knock down MMA tournament - no gloves, or points to win, or head protection. You fight and when you are damaged you give up or you get knocked out. With this style of fighting you feel as though your life is on the line and you have to have the right type of teacher in order to survive. No stone was left unturned in my training. Personal fear of the unknown, and a lack of confidence were transformed in the months up to the fight where I didn't recognise myself anymore.
If you feel like me that the most important thing in life is your time then all I can say is dont waste any more of it with any teacher that is less than perfect! Learn from someone that lives the path they are teaching. Being trained by [Five Rings Training Founder] will feel like you are receiving a very special gift.
Its rare to find someone who is a good fighter and also a good teacher. She is both. In the months running up to the World Championships in Sri Lanka, she took me and 3 other people on this very personal journey to finding our strengths and deal with our weaknesses, coming out of the experience mentally stronger than we were going in. My own personal success in the ring is totally down to being trained by her."
"It is quite difficult to describe exactly what makes FRT such a special organisation, but there are several key points. Firstly our truly wonderful coaches are genuinely kind and generous people, always available when help is needed, always welcoming newcomers and beginners, and are 100% dedicated to their work. Secondly, at FRT I found a completely new mindset for training: I have discovered the whole spiritual and psychological aspect of fighting, and how this puts into perspective all the things you can do. It made me realise how much more work I needed to put in, which was both scary and compelling, and motivated me to train harder. This also made me realise that if I could change so much in my fighting goals, when I previously thought I was quite good, there must be many other areas where more discipline and hard work could help me get more pleasure out of things, like my relationships with my friends and family."
"I am hoping to compete at a professional level and the training provided here is definitely aiding me to reach that goal."
“I had the honour and privilege of training with [Five Rings Training Founder] for over a year. She is an excellent teacher who is able to impart her knowledge in an effective manner to her students regardless of their age, gender or motivation for taking up martial arts. Her extensive training in [bare knuckle MMA and knockdown fighting] in the UK and Japan and in many other disciplines such as Krav Maga and her understanding of the use of ki, enables her to teach her students a variety of skills for use not only in the dojo but also in full contact tournaments and realistic self-defence situations that they may encounter in other environments.
She exemplifies the spirit of perseverance and self-improvement that defines a martial artist and I consider myself very fortunate to have had the opportunity to train with and learn from her"
“The training delivered by [the Head Coaches] at Five Rings Training has significantly improved my performance and drive that I have for all my sports and physical activities. Alongside rigorous physical conditioning, the Five Rings Training team has vastly expanded my skills within martial arts training and honed any other skills that I had from amateur boxing. The positive gains that training has had on me is not only limited to the physical sphere of my life. With the support and professional coaching that I have received from Five Rings Training, my experiences of training have been translated into many aspects of my life and for the better. The discipline and determination inculcated by training at Five Rings has made me more confident and determined in my academic studies and helped me accomplish many of my own personal goals. Since I started my training last year, the virtues of self control and endurance has made me significantly more able to deal with life as a student and understand the value of self mastery in order to deal with any situation life throws.”
MMA FIGHTER
MENS TOURNAMENT TEAM
"I joined Five Rings Training not knowing what to expect and joined because another member recommended it to me. My sporting background has mainly been boxing and American football based (with elements of other sports) but I can say Five Rings MMA training is different. It is more intense but also rewarding plus it has enabled me to explore further in to martial arts as well as myself as a person and an athlete. As well, I feel confident about defending myself in altercations outside of sports if any arise but also I have been able to meet a great group of people."
"I have really learnt the value of hard work, of perseverance, that I apply to other sports and to my academic life thanks to FRT. I consider myself to be extremely lucky to have been able to access such high quality training so easily, and wish to pursue as long as possible."
"The personal ambition that I have developed over my year at Five Rings can only be appreciated as a reminder of the talent and commitment the Coaches bring to training and the motivation and love they have to see people grow."

"I have been training in private lessons studying mainly with the Head of Five Rings, who is one of the best teachers in any subject I have ever met. She has always made sure the sessions are tailored to what I need or would like to know and always encourages people through positive motivation, making both group and private sessions an empowering experience.""
