OLD FARTS FIGHT CLUB
Too Old To Fight. Too Young to Quit.
Old Farts Fight Club is for people with a few miles on the clock! It’s martial arts, boxing and fitness for anyone who wants to train without competing.
Maybe you used to do some martial arts and fancy getting back into it. Maybe you’ve always fancied a go and never have. Either way, this is your way in.
No experience needed. No pressure to keep up. Contact is always optional, and you go entirely at your own pace. Wherever you’re starting from, and at whatever pace suits you.
You won’t be the oldest or the least fit in the room. Everyone here started exactly where you are. No egos, no intimidating crowd, no twenty-year-olds showing off. Just good training with people who get it.
Be part of a group who are refusing to rust!
Come and train with us, or get in touch for a friendly chat first.
LET’S CLEAR UP THE BIG ONE: CONTACT IS OPTIONAL
You’re in safe, friendly hands from your very first session.
You’ll learn proper technique on pads and bags, build real fitness, and pick up genuine martial arts skills. Any partner work is light, controlled and only ever as far as you want to take it. Plenty of our members never spar at all—and that’s completely fine.
Come for the fitness. Come for the skills. Come to clear your head, relieve stress and leave feeling stronger, sharper and more energised.
Whether you’re joining us first thing in the morning or after a busy day, you’ll train at your own pace in a friendly, supportive environment.

GETTING OLDER ISN’T THE PROBLEM. GIVING UP IS.
You don’t stop training because you get old. You get old because you stop training. Everyone in the Old Farts Fight Club decided they weren’t done yet — and showed up.
PROPER TRAINING, BUILT FOR BODIES WITH HISTORY.
1. MOVE BETTER:
Mobility, flexibility, and undoing years of sitting down.
2. GET STRONG:
Real-world strength and a solid core — carrying the shopping, getting off the floor, staying independent.
3. GET YOUR ENERGY BACK:
Fitness you’ll feel on the stairs and the hills. Built up gradually.
4. STRESS-BUST:
Boxing, kickboxing and proper technique — stance, footwork, pads, the lot. The fun part, and the best stress-buster going.
“You don’t stop training because you get old. You get old because you stop training.
I’ve watched people in their 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond become fitter, stronger and more confident than they thought possible. You don’t need experience. You don’t need to be fit already. You just need to start.
We’ll meet you where you are and help you move forward from there.”
— Andy Hopwood. Founder and Chief Instructor
“I came for the fitness and stayed for the people. It’s one of the best decisions I’ve made. The training challenges you without breaking you, and at 50 I’m fitter, stronger and more confident than I was at 45.”
— Dave, Member Since 2008
“I hadn’t done anything in twenty years. I honestly thought I’d be the worst one there. I wasn’t — and now I dread missing a session. The atmosphere is brilliant, the coaching is first-class, and I’m fitter now than I’ve been in years.”
— Steve, Member Since 2011
