Jason has taught me the literal meaning of go hard or go home!! He is a fantastic teacher and coach with a unique style. He will push you when you're being lazy, explain things when you don't understand and motivate you when you need motivating. He has a great attitude towards training and towards life. Jason doesn't just stand there holding pads and saying well done. Every time we train he teaches new techniques and refines the basics. He demands that you focus and train hard and he will make you put as much effort and technique into your 50th kick as your first! I always feel privileged to train with Jason because he is one of the very best trainers in Dubai and as a total beginner to Muay Thai with no experience in any martial arts I can't believe the progress that I have made in 7 months. He is has so much experience from his own days as a Nak Muay and this is what you get from every session with him. He literally lives and breathes Muay Thai

I moved to Dubai two months ago and have been training with Jay from day one. Jay was recommended to me by a high profile Muay Thai trainer in Thailand when I mentioned that I would be moving to Dubai and was looking for a trainer. I find Jay to be an excellent all round coach, whether you are after authentic Muay Thai, Strength and Conditioning, Cardio, or Nutrition advice, he has a sound knowledge of the lot. I have been training in Muay Thai for close to ten years and have trained in Australia, Thailand, Norway, and now Dubai. Every time that I walk into the gym for a session with Jay I walk out feeling like I have learnt something new or refined a technique, and have been pushed passed my limits whilst still having fun. Jay is a good guy both in and out of the gym and I can highly recommend him no matter what level you are at.

What can I say? Dropped in to Dubai for a short break. 2 private sessions with Jason is just what the doctor ordered. Cannot stress enough how good a coach he is. So much knowledge of the sport and the techniques but more importantly, able to explain it in a way that you understand it easily. There is no doubt about it, if you are in Dubai and want to learn Thai boxing, he is the only guy to go to. Anyone else is just a waste of your time and money :-)

''I have been wanting to learn Muay Thai for close to decade now but never got around to it. A month and half back, I was searching for good Muay thai trainers in Dubai and came across Jason's website and the testimonials and decided to give it a shot. I came into the gym and it took me less than a 2 min conversation with Jason to know that I could learn a lot from him.
Within a month, despite sore muscles and several painful sessions with Jason, I look at the videos that Jason has taken and I can see just how far I have come. The first thing I realized when working out Jason is that he is one of those few people who genuinely care. He wants you to learn, to do well and pick up the art of Muay Thai. He gives every session his best and sweats as much as I do during every session.
As he knows the art of Muay Thai so well, he keeps adjusting his teaching to suit the learning style of his students. He is always thinking during the session. He comes up with new ways to work on your weaknesses (one one occasion, I was allowed to chase him around the ring and continuously kick him, which was fun). I also like the fact that no session is repetitive. We work on technique followed by practice and then fitness.
A note of caution: Jason will push you very hard during EVERY session and no amount of moaning or groaning can change that so if you are someone looking to come to the gym and have fun just jumping around and not wanting to learn anything, Jason is not your guy.
Every art will have many good students and very few good teachers. Jason is one of the few good teachers. I hope to continue having the opportunity to be taught by him''

" …..Dubai’s Best Muay Thai Instructor…Jason Woodham!
Training with Jason has been amazing. I have trained with many instructors in group class and/or private training. As with many sports, coaching is a major component to your success. Jason is a very intuitive and skilled coach. Having the ability to teach and correct technique. He is very precise with great attention to all aspects of the art. His knowledge of the mechanics has been critical in my training. Jason has an advantage over many instructors. He has the ability not only to be a great fighter, but a great instructor as well, which is a rare combination. Therefore, he seems to have a deeper understanding of how to train.
It doesn’t matter if you are a seasoned fighter, aspiring fighter, enthusiast, or beginner, Jason has the ability to bring out the best in you. I really struggled with improving my technique and honestly getting discouraged with Muay Thai. I had the basic knowledge, but I was unable to execute the techniques effectively from previous poor coaching. From my very first private lesson with Jason I saw improvement in my technique. Jason took me back to the basics and I felt like a beginner once again, but my progress has been quite rapid. I feel much more confident that my technique is solid and I am improving lesson to lesson.
Jason is also a very personable trainer. He helps motivate me with not only knowledge but great humor! Dubai’s Best Muay Thai Instructor has Character!"

" No frills, no froo froo, just pure blood sweat and tears. After 3 months of training with Jason, I went from being a Muay Thai fan to a Muay Thai contender in a ring (ok, almost). He pushed me to limits I never knew existed within me and believed in my strength and ability even when I was ready to just throw the towel in and say "I'm OK watching from the sideline". Luck helped me find him and his skills, talent and patience helped me get to where I am today. I can't thank you enough Jason. Disclaimer: this coach is not for the weak - hearted, if you are not willing to push yourself to his limits and beyond then it's best you look elsewhere. "

" When I first started training with Jason, my fitness was terrible. I just wanted to get fit enough to play a game of football with my son. After three months of training I was able to do burpees, push ups, squats and all sorts of exercices I had never heard of, and learn thaiboxing at the same time. It was a great experience! "

" This is the third month I have been training with Jay, he has improved my balance and speed, worked on my range and footwork making me a better all round fighter. I still look forward to my session every week it's not easy but the results make it worthwhile . What ever skill level you are give Jay Woodham a go, you will not be disappointed! "

" After meeting and seeing Jason train and fight in Thailand, we had to have him come to the crossface training center to show us the art of eight limbs. Amazing skills were passed to us and we will look to keep booking dates for Jason to come back and update our muay Thai skills. I say book while you can"

" I come from an MMA background and started with Jay to improve my striking and I have done just that, things I've struggled to get the hang of in the past have really come together because Jay will drill them over and over until you pick it up. I find I always leave jay a slightly better fighter and that I've always had a hard session and worked my hardest as Jay is also a good motivator "

" I was lucky enough to get a few sessions in with Jay when I was on holidays in sunny ol England last year. having trained a few years in Australia, it was awesome to get some new training and techniques. Jay's experience shows in his training, he showed me some great techniques which have really helped my kicks and knees hugely! The sessions I had were a great cardio session but totally beneficial in thai boxing. I thoroughly enjoyed the sessions and really hope I get to train with Jay again in the near future! "

"I started Muay Thai when i lived in Thailand, for 3 years I trained on a regular basis and became addicted to this martial art. When I came back to Europe I started to train with Jay and really enjoyed it, just like in Thailand, even the heat was not there. Jay speaks Thai nitnoy and does a lot of surprising noises when training you, he is funny. He reminds me of my thai trainer, Jay is deeply passionated and very encouraging as well. Sometimes I don't feel like training but I always feel so good after. Everyday he teaches me something new! Great fitness and fun! Thanks Jay!"

"Training with jay is great and hard work but you know you are gaining from it as he pushes you through the pain barriers. Fast improvement of fitness and weight loss which is noticeable every week. However when you are getting fitter it doesn't get easier as Jay will push you harder to the next level so even though you are progressing it's always tough, you have to work at 100%. Jay has a very traditional thai style and training with him can encourage this in to your style and performance. He is also a very charming and handsome young man :) "

" Oi oi ! My training with Jay was instantly noticeable on the physical fitness side, my body started to look more toned and my stamina levels went right up. But it was the sparring that I really noticed a difference. I instantly had more confidence and didn't become as frustrated and freezed when taking shots"

" Jay's one to one classes are for anyone who wants to learn, get fit or polish up on skills you already have. At the start of this year I had my second novice Thai boxing fight. I had suffered from a chest infection over Christmas and needed to fast track train, get fit and get confident, Jay more than did this for me. You have to train with the best to be as good as you can be! His vast experience and training ethic is infectious"

"Go hard or go home!" is the motto and definitely the best way to train. I've been training with Jason for nearly two years for both fitness and to improve my Muay Thai skills. I cannot recommend any training more highly. Jason uses all of his experience from fighting all over the world and pushes you harder than you've ever been pushed. He was and still is a great fighter and will become an even greater trainer. Weather it's just for fun and fitness or fighting at the very highest level-Jason is best I've trained with-"Go hard-or go home!!! "

" My goal before I started training was to get fighting, fit and get to my ideal weight! Within 10 sessions I had lost over a stone in fat and built muscle where needed. I am half way to my goal weight and I am fitter than I have ever been before. I am well on the road to achieving my goals! Here is to another 10 sessions! And I now eat toe breaker skipping ropes for breakfast! :) "

" I've been training in Muay Thai for around six years now, I've been to Thailand a good handful of times. I always pick up their Thai style but a month or so of coming home and it always fades into a more western style. Jay is almost like Thailand on my doorstep for me personally, each time I train with him the thai style which he has mastered rubs off and it all comes back. Since training a lot more with jay doing 121's I've become a lot more sharper and a lot more motivated and getting good results in all my fights!!! I've also recently this year made weight to take fights at 60kg, a weight I've only ever achieved and fought under in Thailand pretty much just through 121's. Top bloke and top trainer! I I would recommend Jay to anyone !!!!!! "

" I have been friends with Jay for a long time. I saw on facebook that he was doing 121s and that people were getting pushed hard. I got in contact with Jay 2 weeks before a fight. I wanted to train twice a day for one week to be fitter as I was fighting 5x3s. So I went to Southend, we got started in the mornings, Jay went running with me, then at the gym. I noticed that it was like training in Thailand and Jay spent a lot of time there and i could see why he was WMC world champ, from warming up to boxing pads, to Thai pads, to clinching and finally some full rules sparring. Jay will always correct you until things are right. Everytime I was at the gym Jay changed things up, so we were always doing something different after training. With him I could understand " go hard or go home", when I had my fight I was able to push the fight harder with one week training. I would recommend Jay to anyone who wants to get really fit and have a good trainer. Also if you like Thailand and can't go there, contact Jay, you will get the same sort of training with an English guy, top guy!!!! "
