Mixed Martial Arts gym opens in Wales
BY Jessica Tasman-Jones
Wales' biggest Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) gym has opened in Swansea this month, with a facility that can cater for up to 100 users at any one time.
Classes at the facility will be run by the Chris Rees Academy, which already has clubs in Swansea, Cardiff, Aberystwyth and Bridgend and more than 1,000 members.
An online MMA TV channel was also launched at the opening and is backed by entrepreneur Kevin Green - one of the UK's largest residential property landlords.
Green said: "It's great to see small businesses such as the Chris Rees Academy and Fit for Life expanding and being in tune with the exploding MMA market that's sweeping across Europe."
As well as tailored classes for members wishing to get fit, the gym will offer self-defence classes for children and women.
