Based in Seaham in the North East of England, TFT is a family-owned and operated mixed martial arts gym, managed by Andrew alongside his wife, professional fighter and IMMAF World and European Champion Katrina Fisher.
Over more than a decade, TFT has grown into one of the most established and successful MMA gyms in the region. The gym has become home to world champions, professional athletes and rising prospects competing across some of the sport’s biggest organisations, including the UFC, ONE Championship, KSW, PFL, Cage Warriors and OKTAGON MMA.
Andrew has spent more than 20 years competing and coaching at the highest level of UK MMA. Together, Andrew and Katrina have created a gym built on experience, innovation and a genuine commitment to developing every person who walks through the door.
