  • “Throughout the training, Ben stays focused on my needs and is able to not only progress my fighting skills but also to quickly identify weak areas and explain them to me in laymans terms. His approach is subtle but effective and he never fails to get me over sticky areas that I sometimes fail to understand. I suddenly find myself able to accomplish specific drills and complex moves without realising how he got me there!”
