Mixed martial arts and power kickboxing coaching based at Morpeth Rugby Football Club, with adult sessions and an Alpha Juniors programme combining martial arts, fitness and personal development.

About Team Alpha

Team Alpha runs its Morpeth training from Morpeth Rugby Football Club on Mitford Road, teaching mixed martial arts and power kickboxing under founder and head coach James Watling, who has more than 30 years of training and coaching experience. The ethos is one of hard work and dedication, blending martial arts technique with fitness workouts for members of all levels.

Alongside its adult sessions, Team Alpha's Alpha Juniors programme delivers after-hours coaching that combines mixed martial arts and power kickboxing with team games and personal-development mentoring, sometimes at local schools. Private one-to-one coaching is also available on most days by arrangement. Mixed martial arts suits older children, teenagers and adults, and the club places as much emphasis on discipline and confidence as on competition.
