Rodrigo Lima

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu First Degree Black Belt & Active Competitor

Rodrigo Lima is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu first-degree black belt and active competitor with a genuine passion for coaching and developing students of all levels. One of Rodrigo’s greatest strengths as a coach is his ability to make Jiu-Jitsu easy to understand. His classes are known for their clear, detailed instruction and his ability to break complex techniques down into simple concepts that students can apply immediately, allowing them to learn faster, adapt more naturally, and build confidence in their own game.

His coaching style combines strong technical knowledge with patience, attention to detail, and an approachable attitude. Whether teaching beginners, experienced practitioners, or children, Rodrigo creates a positive learning environment where every student feels supported while being challenged to improve. As an active competitor, Rodrigo continues to test himself on the competition scene and is committed to constantly evolving his own Jiu-Jitsu. He believes that continuing to learn and compete allows him to bring modern, effective, and battle-tested techniques into every class he teaches.

Rodrigo is dedicated to helping each student reach their potential, not only by improving their Jiu-Jitsu, but by building confidence, discipline, and a lifelong enjoyment of the sport.

Jack Murphy

Qualified Coach Specialising in Muay Thai, Strength and Conditioning & Fat Loss

Jack is a qualified coach specialising in Muay Thai, Strength and Conditioning and Fat Loss. At the age of 15 he started weight training, initially as a hobby before turning his passion into a career. After qualifying as a Personal Trainer, he worked with clients of all ages and abilities, helping them achieve a wide range of goals, including weight loss, increased strength, improved fitness, and greater confidence.

His journey into Muay Thai began after watching a coach train clients at the gym where he worked. What started as curiosity quickly became a lifelong passion. Since then, he has dedicated over nine years to the sport, progressing to compete professionally across Ireland. This experience has given him not only a high level of technical knowledge but also a deep appreciation for the discipline, resilience, and commitment that Muay Thai demands.

Alongside his own training and competition experience, he has spent the past three years coaching one-to-one Muay Thai sessions, working with beginners through to experienced practitioners. His coaching focuses on developing technique, improving fitness, building confidence, and helping every individual reach their personal goals. Combining his background as a qualified Personal Trainer with nearly a decade of Muay Thai experience, he delivers personalised coaching tailored to each client’s needs.

Whether the goal is to lose weight, build strength, improve fitness, learn self-defence, or refine striking skills, his sessions are designed to be supportive, challenging, and results-driven. Having recently returned to Bishop’s Stortford, he is passionate about giving back to the local community by helping people discover the physical and mental benefits of martial arts and fitness. His aim is to create a welcoming environment where individuals of all experience levels can train with confidence, develop new skills, and achieve lasting results.

Ruby

Personal Trainer & Strength and Conditioning Coach

As part of our team, we’re proud to have Ruby leading our Strength & Conditioning programme.

Ruby’s fitness journey began six years ago when she made a decision to lose over 3 stone after being overweight as a teenager. Through dedication, consistency, and hard work, she completely transformed her lifestyle and discovered a passion for fitness that has never left her. She also boxed for 4 years from the age of 7!

Having experienced her own transformation, she decided 2 years ago to make it her career and become a PT. Ruby knows first-hand how life-changing fitness can be. She has since helped a number of women become stronger, build confidence, and leave every session feeling empowered and proud of what they’ve achieved.

What sets Ruby apart is that this isn’t just a hobby — it’s her passion. She’s passionate about helping others achieve what she did, creating a supportive environment where everyone feels encouraged to succeed, and helping people make fitness a part of their daily lives for good.

With Ruby, you’ll always feel comfortable, welcomed, and supported from the moment you walk through the door. She believes everyone deserves to train in a positive, judgement-free environment where they can grow in confidence and enjoy the process. Whether you’re stepping into the gym for the very first time or looking to take your training to the next level, Ruby is committed to supporting you every step of the way with encouragement, knowledge, and genuine care.

We’re excited for you to meet Coach Ruby and experience the positive impact she’ll have on your fitness journey.
