I want to work on everything. i want to be a pro fighter...i no that is a long way off but i am prepared to go the extra mile to make it work.

Have you trained as part of a group yet? 1 on 1 training has its advantages but training and sparring with a variety of individuals of various heights, weights and abilities brings a whole host of advantages of its own.

Yes, but i am good at getting on top but then have no clue how to get the locks on. I basically just over power them and stop them from moving or countering me, so i need some good tution on leg locks, arm bars and strangle holds. If you know what i mean.

take some bjj classes or wrestling classes...

Yeah id learn a couple of MAs, instead of learning 'MMA', can be a bit watered down at times, not saying all gyms or trainers are but 80% of them are...

Are you training at an MMA gym? If so then I would have thought that they would teach you some submissions and transitions, at least the basics like arm bars, kimuras, chokes and the occasional leg lock. This is bread and butter stuff that I would expect any MMA gym to coach.

i know a fighter called Dave Garvey who does personal mma training out of Fighting Fit in Manchester. good guy not mega expensive. try going down to fighting fit or emailing them, they have a website.

I think Ozzy Haluk at Manchester Ground n Pound does privates. The gym is in Van Dang Martial arts centre at picadilly.

Finally, there's Predators MMA Gym near Victoria station, dunno if they do private lessons?
