I've been involved sports and martial arts most of my life ranging from Karate, Judo, Boxing, Kickboxing, noGi grappling and a range of other team sports training at well over 15+ clubs for both extended periods of time and short visits. Granite is where I have settled and a place I will undoubtedly come to for the rest of my life, for the teaching, fighting and strong friendships that I have built with my time there.\\n\\nFighting gyms all have their own nuisances from the fake master to the corporate, the pushy and intense to the laissez faire and everything in between.\\n\\nFinding the sport and club that is right for you is important and to summarise Granite I'd pin the focus on Authenticy. You have the opportunity to take on as much or as little as you like, to diversify with world-leading coaches in different disciplines, and mix with people from a world of different backgrounds but one thing you cannot avoid is being yourself.\\n\\nIn a gym where you can giggle like a child or kick someone's head of like a killer, ego's must be left at the door, you therefore build a strong character to compliment the physical and technical improvements you will inevitably pick up. Learning to accept who you are, speak honestly and freely, have an enormous amount of fun and reflect when you are humbled.\\n\\nGranite suits my lifestyle, I can train hard when I want (pushed to the boundaries I set!) and I am not penalised or overly pressured to be anyone more than I am.\\n\\nMy Nogi has come on an enormous amount since training at Granite, The little time I have engaged with stand up here too has help me calm my style, control my breath and control some of my tells. I've had the chance to engage in other sports as support staff and my fight iq and understanding has deepend overall with time taken to discuss technique and strategy alongside the standard burpee!\\n\\nThank you Chris \\u0026 co, Mentors \\u0026 Friends.\\n\\nBig up!

I have been attending classes at Granite Gym for exactly a year and would sum the experience up in one phrase "life changing".Chris Garnett has a seemly never ending pool of knowledge regarding techniques on the mats, but more importantly has all of the qualities of an effective and successful coach to inspire you to push yourself beyond what you thought was possible.The most important part of Granite Gym however is the real sense of community that exists within the gym. Every member is invested in the growth of eachother and is eager to help when they can to see eachother grow.Whether you'd like to compete, learn a skill or just keep fit. I couldn't recommend anywhere else but Granite Gym.....plus the Gym Looks like a level in Tekken which is pretty sick.

Fantastic gym, no egos just pure fun and energy. Whether you want to compete or just get fit, this is the place for you. I've made so many friends that I never would of in everyday life. I've learnt discipline, determination and true character from Chris Garnett and the other members of staff. Best place for Muay Thai, MMA and Wrestling in Medway.

GRANITE GYM is a top class MMA gym. The classes are very well structured, focusing on technical detail and the skills are really applicable if you want to do MMA, specialise in a discipline or just use for self defence.The coach is top of his game (Chris Granite Chin Bungle) his Muay Thai knowledge is endless and is held in high regard in the MMA community. He is really approachable too. You will definitely improve your game if you attend this gym!!I would definitely recommend GRANITE to anyone. The club is really welcoming of new members, feels more like a family than just your local gym! ?

Honestly 5 stars isn't enough for this place. Never felt uncomfortable , and I think this is pretty rare for a fight gym. Most importantly this isn't a place where you'll only see monsters on the mats, it's a place for people from all walks of life. The head coach Chris is a fantastic muay thai coach, and regularly gets other very high level coaches on the mats (bjj black belts) for us to learn from. Come play.Badge x

Love this place. The head coach Chris is an absolutely awesome guy. Would recommend training here for any level.

My child goes for boxing here.Chris is very friendly and supportive. He can be tough sometimes, that is what boys need in that type of activity. Chris is teaching them not only how to defend themselves but also to respect your elders, try hard everyday everywhere.
