They encourage their students to develop good fundamentals before moving on to more advanced techniques.

Another principle they emphasise is the importance of training what works. If a technique does not work in a live drill, it is removed from the student's game. This ensures that students are only practising techniques that are effective in real MMA competition.

The head coach at Burton Grindhouse MMA Academy is Giuseppe (Pep) Iannucci. He started the academy in 2005 after discovering a lack of MMA clubs in Burton. His journey in martial arts began with traditional martial arts, but he soon became interested in MMA after discovering the UFC. He started training in wrestling, which was dominating competitions at that time.

Through his training and competition experience, he gained valuable insights into what works in MMA.

In addition to Giuseppe, there are other experienced coaches at Burton Grindhouse MMA who are dedicated to helping students reach their full potential. With their guidance and expertise, students can expect to receive top-notch training in technique and fitness.
