Martial arts in Romsey
Local academy.
Complete training.
Ouroboros MMA is a dedicated martial arts academy on Romsey Industrial Estate, five minutes from Romsey station and within easy reach of Southampton, North Baddesley, Chandler’s Ford and Test Valley.
Unlike a general fitness gym, every session is coached. You’ll learn practical striking, takedowns and grappling in a structured environment, whether your goal is getting fitter, developing confidence, learning self-defence or preparing to compete.

Ouroboros is a close-knit academy where beginners, developing athletes and competitors train together without ego.
Coaches teach the detail. Training partners help each other improve. Competition is available, never compulsory, and progress is measured against your own starting point.
- Beginners welcomed into every programme
- Competition, fitness and self-defence goals supported
- Current coaching shaped by sports science and active competition
