“Pindi Madahar is what I like to call a “Faith Restorer”. All to often, particularly in Mixed Martial Arts you come across the ego’s the fame hungry and the wrong sort all together. Pindi is everything that is right in a person, where manners, humility and respect come first, “He Restores my Faith”. You are what you have been brought up to be and in Pindi that is testament to Lucky Madahar & Pushpinder (Mum & Dad).
If you are looking for a place to learn from the heart then you could not go far wrong with Warrior’s TMA Academy. Lucky & Pindi truly are two of the nicest guys I will ever meet in my entire life”.
“I would like to recommend Warrior’s TMA Academy in Coventry, my son Macauley Coyle has trained there for nearly 4 years. With instructors Lucky Madahar and his son Pindi ‘The Warrior’ Madahar, his attitude towards his school work has improved to be top levels results; I think this has a lot to do with his concentration levels from his training in Muay Thai, such a friendly place to be to learn martial arts. Macauley has achieved so much since his time at the WTA, he started pro fighting for the fight team at the WTA, in the last year he has won both English and British ISKA titles in which I am very proud of him and his
team at the Warrior’s TMA Academy, without the great training he receives he would not be at this level at the age of just turning 16, Warrior’s TMA Academy in Coventry
is the place to be – Cheers!”
“Just started training again at the WTA and it’s given me a new lease of life! I’m feeling stronger & fitter, and dropped 5 pounds in weight that I’d gained during lock down. Pindi’s Warrior Workouts are tough but rewarding, and his technical advice in Muay Thai, boxing, CSW and BJJ raises the skill-set up another level. He radiates positive energy & passion, constantly challenging & motivating everyone. Lucky brings a lifetime of experience & knowledge to the Kali/JKD classes. The gym is always clean & super-organised – without a doubt, the best gym I’ve ever been to!”
