Background on FFMA

Introduction:

After doing some martial arts research Tony Terranova found that students often lost interest in their training system which resulted in a lack of motivation to continue training. Inspired by Peter Consterdine's training day DVD's and Master Sken's style of Muay Thai, he decided he wanted to develop a system which incorporated practical skills and fulfilled some of the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of modern day living. He then developed his own training syllabus and Fighting Fit Martial Arts was born in January 2007 and affiliated to the British Combat Association (BCA).

From the early beginnings Tony gives much credit to his daughter Emma and coach Joe Viall who have coached and supported the club from the first week it started. He is also grateful to Alan Macdonald who helped him start up FFMA and has now moved on to pursue other interests. Mark Collett joined after the club was established and today plays a major role as a coach and co-owner of FFMA. You can visit Tony's article section to see information on his original eight students from 2002 who nicknamed the magnificent 8.

Today he feels privileged to have the following martial artists as his mentors: Peter Consterdine, Geoff Thompson, Master Sken and John B Will. One of his favorite sayings is "training is easy, doing it is hard"
