Flo Martial Arts

Fantastic experience: Trained for around a year now and can easily say the best thing I’ve ever done in my life was join Flo. I never would’ve expected it to change my life the way it has. The coaches are admirable and down to earth, the team there is a huge family, the facility is always clean and the classes are amazing! Being a woman in this day and age is tough, especially with having a difficult past, but these people have taught me how to be strong physically and mentally, to never give up, boosted my self-confidence and have a laugh with those I train with. I’ll forever be proud to be a part of FLO. If you’re thinking about starting martial arts or just stepping out of your comfort zone to try something new - head down!! You won’t regret it Hopefully see you on the mats!

Fantastic experience: The best in Plymouth in my opinion. A fantastic community who are very welcoming and helpful, the gym is a great place to train and learn. If you do the week trial I promise you will sign up!

Fantastic experience: I joined flo martial arts at about march time and was really the first sport I had ever tried and started taking seriously . I came down here by myself no knowing anyone at 18 years old , and I can easily conclude that this was a pivotal moment in my life . I’ve made so many good friends , the staff and trainers are friendly and facilities are brilliant . I had mentioned this to my friend who started coming down for sessions and he said he really enjoyed it and thanked me for inviting him down . Thanks to everyone at flo for allowing me to feel accepted and at home . I will never be able to explain the impact this has had on my character development and personal life .

Fantastic experience: If someone asked me what my favourite thing about Plymouth is I’d say Flo Martial Arts. The level of investment that has gone into the facility is truly unprecedented for the area which has lacked top of the range sporting facilities for years. Flo have really set the benchmark for martial arts facilities in the South West. The enthusiastic, highly knowledgeable coaches and a hospitable environment has made my first 11 months of Jiu Jitsu thoroughly enjoyable. Could not recommend enough.

Fantastic experience: Recently started here and couldn't have been made to feel more welcome. The whole gym is well run and kept very clean. Great culture and a great bunch of people!

Fantastic experience: A great facility and a family friendly gym I’ve trained at flo for many years and highly recommend popping in to give it a go.

Fantastic experience: I moved away from Plymouth a few years ago, and every time I come back down to visit family, I always try and make it into FLO for a few sessions. Really friendly people who are great people to train with. The facility looks as fresh as when I first visited in 2018! If you live in Plymouth, or the surrounding area, do yourself a favor and check these guys out!

Fantastic experience: Great people, coaching and facilities. Being new to jiu jitsu it's been a really welcoming environment and plenty of fun!

Fantastic experience: Flo is an amazing and friendly gym. My first time training in MMA and the staff instantly put my nerves at ease and made me feel welcome and excited about starting. Have been training here for around 2 months now and every day I look forward to my next session! I’ve also started to take my 6 year old daughter and the coaches are great with the kids!

Fantastic experience: Excellent coaching, atmosphere, and training partners.

Fantastic experience: I have been training in the martial arts for over 20 years and Flo Martial arts is top notch. The facilities are world class and the coaches are knowledgeable and more importantly good people. There is a family atmosphere perfect for beginners and experienced alike. If you’ve ever thought about doing martial arts, come give it a try.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member of this gym for a long time now, they was very welcoming and open to joining there community, the banter and the training itself are a good enough reason to train here, would recommend !

Fantastic experience: Phenomenal place!! I started training here in 2022, I'd never done martial arts ( except Judo when i was 6, i went and got thrown around like a rag doll and never went back!). One of my customers kept saying "you must try bjj, it would be great for you"! Years later I finally took notice and went to Flo. All I can say is I only wish I went as soon as the place opened! The team are AMAZING, the facility is one of the largest in the southwest, I believe and its immaculate. The Instructors are all great so It really has it all, i can't think of anything else you could possibly need. To top it off it has its own coffee shop with, protein smoothies and hot snacks etc. I thought martial arts places could be frosty with lots of ego, It couldn't be further from the truth! If you are thinking of trying martial arts, then you MUST give Flo an go. I wouldn't dream of going anywhere else!

Fantastic experience: I joined this martial arts gym a little over 2 years ago, I can confidently say it’s been a transformative experience. From the moment I stepped through the door, I was welcomed by a team of dedicated instructors who are not only passionate about their craft but also deeply committed to their students’ progress. The facility itself is well-equipped, providing ample space for both individual practice and group sessions. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced martial artist, there’s something here for everyone. The class schedule offers a variety of disciplines to explore, from Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Muay Thai, Judo and Kickboxing. What sets this gym apart is its emphasis on holistic development. Beyond physical training, there’s a focus on mental discipline, character building, and fostering a sense of community. Students are encouraged to push their limits, but always in a supportive and safe environment. The instructors demonstrate a wealth of knowledge and experience, delivering structured lessons that cater to students of all skill levels. They provide personalized attention, offering constructive feedback and guidance to help each individual reach their full potential. Overall, my experience at this martial arts gym has been incredibly rewarding. Whether you’re seeking self-defense skills, physical fitness, or personal growth, I highly recommend giving this gym a try. It’s not just a place to train – it’s a community where you’ll find inspiration, camaraderie, and the opportunity to embark on a journey of self-improvement.”

Fantastic experience: I have been training at Flo for the past two years and was extremely nervous when I decided to give martial arts a try. However I definitely had nothing to worry about as the coaching team and everyone at Flo are such welcoming, open people that I was made to feel at ease almost instantaneously. You really won’t find a bunch of friendlier, down-to-earth guys anywhere else. Overall a well-facilitated gym with great coaching ethos and atmosphere!

Fantastic experience: Top facilities. Top people No better place to train in the southwest.

Fantastic experience: Awesome place, and really does feel like a second home. Very clean, safe and extremely welcoming. I’ve been a member at flo since the day the doors opened. I’ve trained in most of the classes here, striking and grappling. There has never been any pressure to do anything you are not comfortable with but if you want to push yourself the coaches and team mates will help you do this no problem. The coaches are super friendly and talented and teach in a way that anybody can understand and develop from. The real great thing for me is that you’ll be on the mats with pure beginners to the highest level of professional competitors from all walks of life. We have a very strict no egos or bulls#%t policy and everyone is just here to learn, help each other and most importantly have fun. Come on down and try the free trial you definitely won’t be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: I have been at the gym since the day it opened, the facilities are second to none and would even say it's one of the Best Martial Arts Gym in the South West. The gym is light, airy and always clean. The ethos at the gym is No Politics, No Ego, Just Train and I can honestly say that's exactly what they live by. As a female it can be intimidating to train in Martial Arts but Flo is something else! Women are welcomed and empowered. The cherry on top of this pretty awesome sounding cake is the coaching team! They are all willing to help, are passionate about their specialist area and all cross train to help aid their coaching and what they can offer you as an individual. The coaching team have their own individual ackalaids which include World/European and Commonwealth Level medals and many of them are still active on the competition circuit, which means their coaching is up to date and current. I would honestly say the gym is my home away from home with friends I have made for life. My advice to anyone reading this is if you want to give any of the Martial Arts they offer a go, head down and give it a try you won't be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: Flo is an incredible gym. I was made to feel welcome by Darren and Sonya from the moment I walked in to join up and on my first training session. The facility is the best I have been to over the years and the instructors are very knowledgeable & friendly.

Fantastic experience: Amazing facility, great owners, top coaches and even better people

Fantastic experience: Great facility I wish it was closer. Went to a seminar there everyone was super friendly. At the end of the seminar I left my hoodie and watch at the side of the mats o contacted them about me going back up there to collect them as I’m in Cornwall but instead they posted them back to me. Amazing

Fantastic experience: Flo is an excellent gym, top notch facilities with a friendly and welcoming team. Coaches are sound, there’s a decent range of sparring partners of different abilities, a nice big, good quality, mat and an overall good feel. Enjoyed the times I trained there, thanks for the rolls

Fantastic experience: Amazing facilities, the best coaches and great group of people to train with. Got my two boys signed up. Very positive

Fantastic experience: Very friendly, easy joining most fun I have had in ages

Fantastic experience: What you'll notice first when walking in to Flo is how clean and tidy everything is - not always the case with other gyms. Being on time, being respectful, training light and focusing on technique; all this flows (pun intended) from the ethos of the folks in charge. They're not teaching you what to train, but how to train - a far more important lesson. Can't recommend it enough, especially for youngsters!

Fantastic experience: Flo Martial Arts is the best Martial Arts facility in the South West. It expresses its premium set up with outstanding instructors. With its head coach Kenny Baker at the helm. If you or your children are looking for a place to train or start training. This is it. Five Stars *****

Fantastic experience: A professional, friendly, and safe place to train. Clean and modern training facility that caters to everyone from children, to competitive fighters, to oldies like me who are just trying to stay physically and mentally healthy. Incremental exposure to BJJ training via the 101 class. Not just thrown in at the deep end. Knowledgeable instructors. A range of payment plans to suit personal circumstances. I train BJJ just twice a week and my past year at Flo has still been a very worthwhile investment.

Fantastic experience: I have been in hundreds of gyms over the years. Flo is without doubt one of the best there is. Great facility, open mats and equipment. However, what really makes it is the training ethos and attitude with no egos and plenty of world class instruction from top martial artists.. best there is.

Fantastic experience: Very good professional gym, has multiple paths that you can chose to train, very good coaches, everyone is very friendly, kind and considerate with the fact that some people might take longer to learn, they have good competition classes which can compete with everywhere, it is the cleanest gym I've ever been to, and they make all new people feel very welcome. I would 100% encourage anyone that wants to train to come here .

Fantastic experience: Been a member of Flo for a while now. Great place to train. Friendly staff and members too. I can thoroughly recommend it to anyone wishing to get fit or try martial arts for the first time. Great set-up and value for money too.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic facility. Clean, friendly, welcoming and with no egos. Instruction is world class with an emphasis on safety. Great gym, staff and members make for a great experience. Strongly recommend joining.

Fantastic experience: One of the cleanest Gyms I been to great teachings and great facilities. Nice safe place for beginners to get involved

Fantastic experience: Extremely welcoming and without doubt the best facilities in the South West!! - not like some Martial Arts Gyms which can feel Cliquee

Fantastic experience: Hands down the best facilities for striking or ground work in Plymouth, maybe even the South West. Competitive training but accessible for at all ability levels. Scaled membership rates, dedicated seperate areas for striking and bjj, boxing ring AND cage, viewing area, large M&F changing rooms with showers. Quality coaches for bjj (2 black belts), judo, karate, kickboxing, boxing, wrestling and MMA. Also caters for kids and women only bjj classes. On top of that there's a strength and conditioning suite with cardio equipment, personal training, yoga classes and an on-site physio. It can't be beaten.

Positive experience: Great facilities, bur rude unwelcoming staff let's it down. High membership prices too

Positive experience: Good

Fantastic experience: Excellent martial arts centre for the whole family. Very clean, very friendly, very welcoming. Emphasis is on a safe family environment where looking after your training partner is engrained in the culture.

Fantastic experience: With some of the best facilities in the south west this is the premier location for mma practitioners of all levels. Good staff. Nice people .great coaching and outstanding facilities.

Fantastic experience: Very friendly place to go. You will find a new family hear. Lovely place to take the kids for children's classes. Somthing for all ages
