Our Story

Silverbacks MMA was founded by Paul McGinty and Aron Soto with the help of Paul Attwood in 2012. After a successful year of coaching MMA at Kent University, the decision was made to start an MMA and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu club due to the lack of BJJ and MMA in Canterbury and The South-East of Kent in general.

As the club grew in size, we had to upscale from hall hires to a more permanent facility. The activeness of its members at various BJJ competitions and MMA competitions around the world, caused an influx of popularity.

 

Finally in 2018 the gym went full time! 

​

After a few years of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu being the core focus of the team, we started to shift back towards MMA and Kickboxing.

​​

​

We opened a second location in Aylesham, Canterbury with the help of Donna Blanks joining the team.

Within a year of being open, the Aylesham gym has produced multiple champions in MMA and K1 Kickboxing and Muay Thai.

 

Silverbacks Aylesham has ended up becoming predominantly MMA and Kickboxing part of the team, with Silverbacks Sturry being the Jiu Jitsu and grappling side of the team.
