Hybrid FMA

Negative experience: Hi Alex, your gym still owes me £2000 and has ceased all payments since July. Please repay me the debt in full or I will need to take further action. “He who walks in integrity walks securely, but he who perverts his ways will be found out."

Negative experience: The owner of this gym has a poor history of repaying debts with little regard to the creditor.

Fantastic experience: I had a one on one session to help me perform Eskrima live for a tv reality show. The gym has a variety of lessons such as boxing, weapons, and stick fighting. The owner is 8 times world champion, 36 times British champion and 5 times European champion. They also help stunt actors too and have courses and provide show reels. They are an absolute pleasure to work with and I highly recommend. Great vibes here and located at Shepherd’s Bush London.

Fantastic experience: Really enjoyed my time with the class! I was only in London for a week but they were very welcoming. I was able to improve on the system I had learned while getting to experience the Doce Pares system for the first time. Master Alex was both patient and informative with his teaching. I would take another class in a heartbeat and cannot recommend the school enough. Anyone interested in the art, self defense, or just a fun way to stay active should give FMA a try!!! Hybrid FMA is a wonderful group and I hope to train with them again soon.

Fantastic experience: The best school in London to learn the indigenous martial arts of the Philippines. Grateful to all the masters and the students who are keeping the art and culture alive

Fantastic experience: I found Hybrid FMA as I had to learn Escrima for a film role and I am so grateful I did. An incredible dojo and team to train with, master Alex is an expert at his craft as are all the instructors and have become like family to me. A dedicated, fun, supportive, powerful environment, I am addicted, thank you

Fantastic experience: You're not just a member at Hybrid FMA, you're family. Joining Hybrid FMA is by far one of the best choices I've made.

Fantastic experience: Such a friendly environment. My daughter and I felt very welcome and have thoroughly enjoyed the start of our journey in FMA.

Fantastic experience: Hybrid FMA is an excellent place to study martial arts. Master Alex and his senior students are extremely talented and inspirational teachers, while the general training environment always feels helpful and welcoming. I cannot recommend this place enough.

Fantastic experience: I'll start off with saying the gym is awesome. It has all the facilities you require to grow as a martial artist. The teaching here is amazing, it has made me aware of weaponry how to use them and disarming. But hybrid FMA has taught me dedication and discipline

Fantastic experience: Great coach and teachers, very family orientated with a very clean gym and equipments. Highly recommend for various different martial arts and now they’ve started screen combat to their itinerary for the filming industry. It’s fun and they have an amazing team that helps in all levels. Master Alex is one of the best teachers I’ve ever worked with.

Fantastic experience: Amazing club and very friendly people!

Fantastic experience: Amazing place, with amazing people! Really recommend this place to anyone who wants to start martial arts!

Fantastic experience: Won my first gold medal here! Some of the best training I’ve received over the years. Elite Instructors, great break downs for beginners. And great for Actors looking to look good on Camera for TV & Film.

Fantastic experience: I'm in my mid 50's and dabbled over the years in different martial arts. I was worried I'd be too old to start training and didn't want to get injured as I don't recover as fast as I did in my youth. Master Alex was very patient on the phone and invited me to try a class and see. He is very approachable, humble and an all-round nice guy but he can do the business. The other instructors are also very patient and always happy to help you learn. The atmosphere is warm welcoming and you can train at your own pace. So if you want to learn in safe welcoming gym come on down.

Fantastic experience: I've been training at Hybrid FMA for over half a year now, and it is such an incredible and unique place to learn martial arts. All the instructors are extremely friendly and knowledgeable, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend joining

Fantastic experience: Great place, highly recommended!!!

Fantastic experience: I have been training here for close to 5 months, travelling from Surrey once a week. It is so much more than worth the dedication. Wonderful environment, patient instructors, that have been trained by Master Alex to truly imbibe this art the way his ancestors from Cebu would be so proud of. All ages welcome, obviously younger students may prefer attending the Saturday morning class, as classes all other days run from 7-9 pm.

Fantastic experience: This is the best place to learn martial arts in London. Master Ermar Alexander is not only a great martial artist, but a great teacher as well as he builds an atmosphere of camaraderie between the trainee; the way he approaches it is clear, practical and it is worth noticing with lots of patience and good predisposition always! Also, the gym itself is great with all the gear and equipment necessary to train.

Fantastic experience: The gym has great facilities and equipment, a friendly atmosphere among students and excellent instructors. I highly recommend it.

Fantastic experience: This is what I’ve heard from a good friend so just repeating his words “ They work hard to ensure each student is individually seen to, and they cater to all sorts of students: whether they have an interest in competition, self defence and/or fitness.Highly recommend Hybrid FMA if you want an insight into the arts from the Philippines and practice this traditional art with other friendly people!!

Fantastic experience: Great training with friendly, experienced group. Can definitely recommend to all shapes and sizes

Fantastic experience: Alex is a great teacher, I would highly recommend anyone who wants to learn FMA

Fantastic experience: I have been taking online classes from Hybrid FMA from all the way in Sydney, Australia... and it is worth staying up for late at night! Alex is a truly experienced and generous instructor and has made the experience of learning Kalis Eskrima fun, safe and enjoyable. Despite being online, he's still able to identify and fix problems in my technique through the computer screen. My only wish is that I could be in London to actually learn from him in real life!

Fantastic experience: I've been studying with Hybrid FMA for less than a year now and they've provided such great knowledge in the Filipino Martial Arts, as well as a great local place to train. They work hard to ensure each student is individually seen to, and they cater to all sorts of students: whether they have an interest in competition, self defence and/or fitness. Highly recommend Hybrid FMA if you want an insight into the arts from the Philippines and practice this traditional art with other friendly people!! Alex (the head instructor) is also holding online sessions during the lockdown of 2020, so be sure to check them out and train from home!

Fantastic experience: Hi.have been training with alex for many year now and have trained at HQ in Cebu .Philippines.. Outside of the Philippines alex is the best teacher. Not only is he a champion fighter he has also trained many world champions .. He is a Master of the art of escrima and yar yan. I recommend to everyone to come train with alex.. I came for 1 lesson and 6 years later i am still here. BARRY

Fantastic experience: Great gym to train in, Seniors are very knowledgeable and patient as for Master Alex he is very approachable and friendly. You don't always understand the technique that they have taught you but there really is no limit as to how many times you can ask for help or for the technique to be shown to you again. In all, a fantastic place to train in, with a great group of instructors, with classes for everyone from grown ups to little ones. . A special thanks to Master Alex, Seniors Tim, Barry, Martin and Diane for helping me in my continued progression in FMA.

Fantastic experience: A fantastic place to train and learn. Alex and the team are very supportive, dedicated and committed to bringing out the best in their students. Everyone is friendly, respectful and welcoming to new starters. I cannot give the learning experience at Hybrid-FMA enough praise.

Fantastic experience: I have nothing but good things to say regarding Hybrid FMA. a place were egos are left at the door & all are welcome.. The head instructor Alex is on point with his skills & knowledge & breaks things down to the students.. If you want to learn an art which is excellent for movement & reactions & building confidence then this is definitely the place to go to..

Fantastic experience: Authentic Fillipina Art & teaching. Great gym and friendly people who are true champions. Awesome & lovely club

Fantastic experience: Professional, authentic and friendly. I would highly recommend!!!

Fantastic experience: Master Alex and his students are experts in martial arts. He teaches a solid and useable style, from knives to sticks to empty hands, he knows his art. The gym is very big and well equipped, the people are friendly and very helpful. Its the perfect place to train martial arts. He even welcomes people from other countries in his gym ;)

Fantastic experience: Very practical martial art, dynamic, and fluent but also highly adaptable when rhythm is interrupted mid fight. Structure, progressively, based on use of weapons first, mainly stick and knife, having same basis of movement used in empty hand having only range difference i.e short, medium, long. Has been used in Hollywood films for decades without the recognition it deserves, being used and adapted by stuntmen, but only popularised by blockbuster films and coming to light recently. Alex is, literally, a world class instructor and learning from him, whether you are a beginner to a more advanced participant, you can benefit from the wisdom and techniques he has to offer. I have been training with him for 5 years, as well as my 2 children, who do the adult class. If unsure about Escrima/Kali/Arnis or Filipino Martial Arts, just check out videos on YouTube. You won’t be disappointed if you’re interested in martial arts.

Fantastic experience: Best Filipino Martial Art in UK. Great instructors for kids and adults.

Fantastic experience: Master Alex is the best in his field. He gives his 100% when he trains his students. He molded my son from the 5yo shy and unsure boy that he was to the 8yo competent and confident boy that he is now. I would strongly recommend this school to all parents who wants their children to learn self discipline, focus, respect and learn martial arts while having fun at the same time. Thank you Alex for all the hard work!!!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic place to learn a new martial art called Escrima which has so much to offer, make some new friends and enjoy the whole experience.....so pleased to have found this place. Saj

Fantastic experience: Highly recomended Great place and ppl

Fantastic experience: Excellent tuition in Doce Pares, a Fillipino martial art combining weapons and empty hand techniques. A friendly and fun club and an addictive martial art. Brilliant!

Fantastic experience: I've been training with Alex now for over 10 years, it's the only purpose made gym for Eskrima, Kali in London. Alex is an excellent instructor, who actually fights and is 6 times world champion, and is genuinely a very nice person. He comes highly recommended! :)

Fantastic experience: Truly a great place to learn martial arts in an enjoyable and safe environment. Instructors and students are all welcoming and encourage each others development. Training expanding from traditional Filipino Martial Arts to combat sports to self defense and fitness. Get in the best physical shape while learning skills that could make all the difference when you need it most.

Fantastic experience: This is great place to come and learn a new skill or to improve your overall fitness. Alex is a great teacher and all the other students are really supportive and are always willing to help you progress.

Fantastic experience: This is an excellent gym to learn an exciting and challenging Martial Art. Training is available six days a week with instruction from a multiple world champion. There is no age limit as we train a kids class from around 5 years old to some of our senior members at 60 plus (me included) There is a well documented syllabus and regular tests and grading to measure advancement and all members are encouraged to compete in regular British, European and World Championships in several categories. I highly recommend taking the time to visit and see for yourself the high standards and friendly atmosphere on any night of the week. Martin

Fantastic experience: An absolutely fantastic place to learn one of the most technically challenging, practical and beautiful martial arts there is! Master Alex is second to none when it comes to fighting and teaching ability. I started when I was 32 years old and 110kg's in weight (massively overweight). Under Master Alex's tutelage, my weight fell off by the bucket load as I progressed and my self confidence grew exponentially! I highly recommend this gym to anyone thinking about starting a martial art. It has such a friendly atmosphere and is a fantastic place to be able to push yourself and grow. This gym and this art are now a way of life for me and I could never see myself not training!! Please come along and check us out!

Fantastic experience: A+++

Fantastic experience: My son has been going to Hybrid FMA since he was 4 years old, his thirteen years old now and still continuing his practice on Filipino Martial Arts.
