    Having been to several other training facilities in the area I can confirm urban has the best trainer and value for money. He has a great passion for the sport and immense knowledge, the team make you feel welcome and will offer you technical advice when you need it. 100% would recommend coming down and giving it a try if you are willing to put the time in.

    Only been here a few months but really enjoying it, never thought I'd be motivated to do anything after being at work all day but I'm always looking forward to the next training session. Everyone is happy to help and the training itself is taught/explained really well so we get the best understanding possible. Cant praise it highly enough.

    I came into this gym not knowing what to expect, I'll be a 100% honest I discounted it as a place that I won't be staying at very long how wrong I was, I'm now a life long member so long as I stay in this area. The amount of expert knowledge from a ex pro fighter and tips is enough to keep me at the gym pair that with kass's humour, the other students, the intensive spar sessions, the amount your taught vs how much you pay is incredible value for money. You'll be taught bjj to a top level both gi and no gi, catch wrestling which is a lost art! Mma, a lot of boxing head movement and technical skills and muay thai. The amount I'm learning most places would charge you in excess of 100 quid! I got a lot of honesty from kass and being kind of getting tailored training, I really want to compete even though I'm slightly past my sell by date but training here I feel like I'm 20 again!

    Best place to do mixed martial arts in the Midlands. The instructor has a wide range of knowledge, and leads high value lessons. Really friendly environment. I am a complete beginner and planned to just do 1 hour a week. But the sessions are so good that I am now doing 4.5 hours a week. I would do more if I could.

    After becoming disillusioned with a previous MMA gym and beginning to lose the love for the sport, I was lucky enough to come across Urban Prospects, which reignited my passion and more for the sport. I have now been training here for over 18 months and could not be happier. The quality of coaching from Kass is levels above anything else I have ever experienced or received from any other coaches in the past. He has a vast wealth of knowledge in an array of martial arts and is able to convey that knowledge and teach in a way that is so simple to understand and implement. With the ability to easily adapt sessions or his coaching style to suit the class or the individual. All members of the gym are incredibly welcoming, patient and helpful, with absolutely no egos (which is rare to find!). Many of whom I am now lucky enough to consider as good friends. I can't recommend Urban Prospects enough as a truly exceptional place to train. Whether you are just looking to get a little fitter, learn a new skill or you have aspirations of being a fighter, Kass and Urban Prospects are the best choice you could possibly make!

    Fully equipped gym with an extremely knowledgeable and experienced instructor across a variety of martial arts. Classes have a nice mix of beginners and experienced students who are all welcoming and encouraging. Prices are very reasonable and transparent.

  • 5/5 Charlie K. 1 year ago on Google
    I was not initially sure how long I would train here, as it is a 50 minute round trip by car, however I tried the free tasting session, and I have now been training here for just over 8 months, with no intention of stopping. Kass is an amazing coach and has a no BS approach to training. He teaches techniques that actually work based on his wealth of experience as a pro fighter. All levels are welcomed, and the classes allow you to learn at your own pace. Nomatter your goals, whether that is to fight, or just to better yourself, you will not find many better coaches to get you there.

    Urban Prospects is one of the best-kept secrets in the West Midlands in terms of martial arts gyms. Albeit unassuming as you walk into the gym, it is easily on par - if not better - than any large mixed martial arts gym in the Birmingham area. Kasson’s passion to share knowledge is apparent immediately, and his joy is evident as you progress as a martial artist. His breadth of knowledge is immense, an accumulation of a career’s worth of training which he is happy for to be shared. You will find progress in each session, provided you are willing to grind, and the advice Kass gives is personalised to each fighter as he quickly picks up on your tendencies. I would be dumbfounded if you could find many coaches with not only the knowledge in all aspects of martial arts but also the willingness to share it as he does. Furthermore, Urban Prospects is diverse in skill-set. Kass has a learned ability to adapt sessions to the skill of his students. Total beginners and experienced fighters are welcome here, provided there is mutual respect. I could not recommend Urban Prospects highly enough, and I would strongly suggest that you check it out.

    After the pandemic I tried out about 4 boxing & MMA gyms, and no where has been anywhere near as good Urban Prospects. A tight knit team who welcome anybody, with any background and experience level. Some lads I even call close mates now. Kass is an expert in every aspect of MMA. You'll be trained with perfect form, in an array of styles, and even combine multiple arts together. He preaches basic concepts that are actually effective - no overly fancy BS ;) Urban Prospects is my gym for life. 5/5 Gym, trainer, and people.

  • 5/5 Callum D. 2 years ago on Google
    Very welcoming gym and excellent training sessions I was nervous coming into a new gym and martial arts environment but was put at ease immediately due to the friendly nature of the instructor as well as the students. I was very impressed by the standard of teaching and the variety of training offered. Would recommend to anyone interested in Martial arts whatever level of skill or fitness they are starting at

    I've floated around several MMA/muay thai gyms over the past few years and couldn't fathom as to why I'd never really 'settled'. Know I know why. Coach kas is not just the most supportive iv trained under but also the most knowledgeable. His attention to detail, understanding of all arts and his ability to break it down to its simplest form to explain and help you grow is second to absolutely no one. The fighters/students are incredibly welcoming, no egos allowed is a big motto, which helped me settle massively, as I am a slightly anxious person. So if your interested getting fit and learning abit get down urban prospects mma. Best coach, best lads and by far best prices. All in all the best gym around.

  • 5/5 Asif A. 3 years ago on Google
    Brilliant atmosphere and an even better coach. Kas' technical knowledge and the way he breaks things down is perfect. I feel like I am developing with every session and always walk away learning something new. The more experienced students are also very friendly and always happy to lend a helping hand to newbies like myself. The only regret I have is not joining Kas and Urban Prospects sooner!!! Absolutely lovin it!!!!

    Been training with Kass and the team from day 1, and I'd never train with any other team again. Guided me to my Midland title win and will be guiding me to many more in the near future. Friendly people who when joining will feel like a second family. Head Coach Kass without doubt one of the best minds in Martial Arts and yet is most humble.

  • 5/5 James 3 years ago on Google
    Was recommended this gym and have not been disappointed. First experience of MMA and Kas and the team made me welcome from day one. Kas brings his passion and experience to every session, explaining/breaking down techniques to its simplest form, so for a beginner like myself I go away learning something each time. Great instructor, great team! Would recommend

  • 5/5 Joe B. 2 years ago on Google
    Great Place to get in shape or to build into competition at the highest level in many martial arts jiu jitsu, Muay Thai, boxing and Greco Roman wrestling. Brilliant gym to train everyone friendly and easy to get a long with and to train and your level.

  • 5/5 Haroon H. 2 years ago on Google
    I've had a great experience at this gym and would highly recommend it. Cass is extremely professional, patient and supportive. The sessions are fun, but have also helped me to learn and develop my skills at the same time. All the people I have met through training were warm and friendly. An outstanding gym with a very friendly atmosphere - caters for all abilities from complete beginners to fighters.
