My name is Pete Mercer and it is my pleasure to welcome you to Mercer’s Gym.

Mercer’s Gym stands for all that I value within the Martial Arts world. Since I was a child I’ve always had a fascination with boxing, watching, training and competing. I have lived and breathed it for many many years. I have been privileged to have the opportunity to train and compete with fighters and coaches all over the world. Learning not only technical and physical skills but also life skills that have served me well; professionally within the sport and also personally in everyday life.

I have trained across many disciplines including MMA, BJJ, Boxing and K1 Kickboxing. Some of my happiest memories have been made in a ring; some of my best friendships have been made there too. I have been training since my early teens and finally hung my gloves up from competition in 2014, remaining proudly undefeated within the K1 Kickboxing arena.

I firmly believe that health and well-being is a blend of physical and mental strength. Martial Arts provides this in spades, which is one of the reasons I am so passionate about this sport.
