“Nathan Leverton is the best coach I’ve worked with. His ability to break down the moves and explain them so you understand easier is amazing. Being a new member of Leicester Shootfighters I can see why the team does so well in Submission Wrestling and MMA. Nathan has been able to improved my skills already in the short time I’ve worked with him and the team, and I’m looking forward to keeping improving myself in the future. As an MMA coach he always comes up with an amazing game plan for any opponent, and his calm an positive attitude on fight night is perfect before, during and after the fight.”

"I can't say enough positive things about Nathan, the guy is a grappling genius, highly astute teacher and an all round good guy. Since starting at Leicester Shootfighters I have achieved many personal goals and have been able to develop a wrestling / grappling program at Leicester Tigers, all thanks to Nathan's input. If you are looking to improve any aspect of your grappling, wrestling or mixed martial arts game, contact Nathan, it will be a wise investment. He has a pedigree that is hard to match."

"Nathan Leverton is superb coach. Nathan helped me prepare for the fighting hurts tournament and with only a few weeks training I reached the semi-finals, I attribute this success to the quality of Nathan's teaching. Nathan's harbours a massive amount of knowledge, but not only that, his ability to apply that as a coach is second to none in my experience. His coaching embraces many dimensions of development for fighters such as the solid fundamentals of MMA/Grappling, psychological aspects of fighting, skill acquisition, understanding of body mechanics/bio mechanics and progressively advanced skills and techniques that can turn a good fighter into a great fighter. Due to his wealth of experience you will never stop learning when training with him. I have found Leicester Shootfighters to be a friendly yet well disciplined environment where respect is paramount and whether your a beginner or elite fighter you will develop physically and mentally whilst enjoying the training"
