About us

Titan Gym's journey began in 1997 in a small garage in Ponders End, fueled by a passion for martial arts and an unyielding dedication to excellence.

What started as a modest space for a few dedicated athletes quickly grew into a hub of raw talent and ambition. By 2004, we had outgrown our first location and expanded into a slightly larger gym within the same area, welcoming more of our team and community to train and grow together.

As our reputation for producing top-tier fighters spread, Titan Gym became a force to be reckoned with on the national Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) scene. Our athletes began competing in MMA shows across the country, consistently delivering outstanding performances that caught the attention of the broader martial arts community.

In 2008, Titan Gym took a significant leap forward, moving to a much larger facility in Edmonton.

This new space not only accommodated our growing roster of fighters but also marked the beginning of our journey onto the international stage. With our fighters competing and excelling in world-renowned promotions such as UFC, WEC, Bellator, and K-1, Titan Gym established itself as a powerhouse in the global MMA arena.

Today, Titan Gym continues to thrive in our new home in Waltham Abbey. While our location has changed, our commitment to training the next generation of elite fighters remains as strong as ever. We pride ourselves on fostering a supportive and challenging environment where athletes can hone their skills, push their limits, and achieve greatness.

Whether you're a seasoned fighter or just starting your martial arts journey, Titan Gym is the place where champions are made. Join us, and be a part of our legacy.

5 starts from me for Titan Fighter Gym but if I could give it more I would give 100 stars!! Mickey is the best coach, he is great with the kids and super fun, my son is almost a year now training in this Gym and he has improved so much in confidence, discipline, agility, focus. He really loves going! Mickey also runs a parent's class and I am enjoying this so much. There is a great, family-orientated atmosphere and I feel so lucky to be part of it! Thanks, Mickey and the Titan Fighter Gym's team!!! 100% recommended!!

Claudia

Brilliant gym! My 6 year old daughter has been training for just under a year and the progress she has made is amazing! She is learning boxing, mma and jujitsu but more importantly she has gained confidence and a great group of new friends. There is a great social element for both children and parents. As parents we are now training together and practicing what we preach to our kids. Mickey is an amazing coach and I can't recommend him enough.

Laura

An unbelievable coach in Mickey Papas..... The coaching is really high level. I take my young daughter there and the progress she's made is unbelievable, both her skill and confidence is through the roof.The kids classes are SAFE, fun, friendly and well structured. I've joined the adults classes myself a few weeks ago and I enjoy every class.The only regret is that I wish I joined from day one..... I actually feel young again.

Wayne

Amazing training sessions, learning the techniques of each extraordinary modalities practiced. You'll become even more discipline at the time of a fight. Definitely, planning to return in the future for some exciting training. Micky is a hell of a coach.

Mickey is a wonderful and entertaining coach who deserves 5 stars in every way. He is a coach who knows very well how to teach and endear this job to children and adults. A place where I can easily leave my 2 children without any trust issues. He is a complete professional in disciplining children and teaching them responsibility.

My daughter goes to Titan MMA classes 3 times a week and LOVES every minute. She's grown in confidence, learnt new skills and made new friends. Mickey and the Titan team always provide a warm welcome, make learning fun and break learning up into small steps. Parent classes are great fun too - Titan has given us all a new lease of life.
