Our Coaching Philosophies
Our clear vision is to create an exceptional learning environment for developing the body and mind through the practice of Mixed Martial Arts and Exercise.
Whether one participates only to get in shape or perhaps has ambitions of MMA stardom, we believe that every student wants to be better. We are committed to cultivating growth mindsets and being open to the free exchange of ideas. We understand that regardless of each individual's aspirations, we can collectively encourage, inspire and help each other to realize their goals.
From a coaching perspective, we design our curriculum and practices based on well-established principles of motor learning, skill acquisition, and human motivation. We believe learning is best achieved through principle-based coaching and guided discovery, and view learning through an ecological lens, whereby skills emerge from the dynamic interactions of the environment, the athlete and their objective tasks.

Meet our team
What are the metrics for a good coaching team? Of course while experience and knowledge is important. We feel just as important is being able to engage, relate and communicate well with their students and fellow coaches.
At Primal our team understands that supporting the student's learning journey is less to do with demonstrating knowledge, but rather helping to cultivate a rich learning environment.
Our team is fully aligned in our approach and look to foster independence, creativity and engagement in our students and athletes. In fact we see ourselves more as facilitators of development than trainers!
This close group of coaches have been with Primal since day one and each add their own flavor and style to the learning experience for all that step on our mats.
