  • Victoria Nikolaeva

    I've been training at Posener's Pankration/MMA and Muay Thai gym for over a year now (I think? Time really does fly when you're having a great time!) This gym stands out as the best I’ve ever been to, and it’s for several reasons.

    First and foremost, if you’re serious about improving your self-defence skills or stepping into the ring, this gym is for you. The number of victories and championships won by the regulars here is impressive. Simon and George are both exceptional instructors in the adult classes, and I’ve learned so much from them (and clearly, so have the many champions!)

    Secondly, this gym has been a fantastic addition to my fitness routine. I’m not usually someone who gets excited about exercise, but Posener’s changed that for me by making it both rewarding and fun. I leave each session feeling like I’ve had a great workout—both physically and mentally.

    Lastly, the community. I can’t emphasize this enough. The support, camaraderie, and genuine friendliness of everyone here have been incredible. I consider this community my second family—a family that fights, but in the best possible way!

    I’m incredibly grateful to the instructors and students at this gym. I’ve learned so much from both and look forward to continuing my journey here for many more years to come!

    I had the privilege of being trained by the Posener's family, and I can say without hesitation that it has been a transformative experience. His deep knowledge of mixed martial arts, combined with his ability to teach clearly and effectively, has made a significant difference in my development as a fighter.

    Simon and Adam stand out not only for their technical expertise but also for his dedication and patience. Each class is carefully structured to address both fundamental and advanced aspects of training, always with a focus on continuous improvement and skill refinement. Additionally, his ability to motivate and challenge his students creates a positive and stimulating learning environment.

    Beyond the techniques and tactics, Simon also emphasizes the importance of respect, discipline, and teamwork—values ​​that are essential in martial arts and in life in general. Thanks to his guidance, I have made significant progress and feel more confident both inside and outside the dojo.

    I highly recommend Posener’s Pankration MMA/Muay Thai to anyone looking to not only improve their skills in mixed martial arts but also grow as an individual. His commitment and passion for the art are truly inspiring.

    Sincerely, Carlos Gonzalez

  • Lenin Viteri

    I'm really grateful with Sensei Simon, Adam, George, Costand all teammates at Posener's Pankration/MMA gym. As an amateur fighter looking for improving my skills and chances to fight in important events, this place developed even more my confidence, mental discipline, and martial art spirit. Also, I could understand how important the details in fundamental techniques are.

    Besides, as a new immigrant that arrived in Vancouver with language and culture struggles, I could find amazing friends and great environment where quickly I adapted myself to continue with my dreams.

    Once again, Thanks to Sensei Simon for supporting me and moving me on to the next level. Now I can add to my trainings, meditation, visualization, and creativity.

    Nowadays, I keep moving on and focused on the Warrior's Path. OSU!

    Thanks a lot Sensei! You totally changed my game. I felt so smart, technical and strong to beat my opponent. OSU!!! God Bless you

  • Ron Chu

    Thanks to Simon and his team at Poseners Pankration. I was able to lose 40 lbs by attending his muay thai and mma classes combined with a change in my eating habits. The journey began after my neck and shoulders were healed enough to allow me to exercise regularly. Simon always kept my injuries in mind and gave me factual and informative advice based on his knowledge and experience. Classes are fun and challenging and the instructors are knowledgeable and always willing to help. I feel better both mentally and physically and have been able to maintain my current weight. My quality of life has changed for the better and I enjoy learning self defense in the process. Who could ask for more. Thanks Simon! OSU!

  • Alex Gee

    My son has been in Martial Arts since he was 5 years old and was never fully satisfied with training at different Dojo's.

    We moved him to Posener's Pankration/MMA back in November 2021 and he's loving every minute training with Simon. We have seen huge improvements in our son's health, conditioning, confidence, etc.

    Simon is great with kids. It shows when our son tells us that Simon is the best instructor he's had so far!

    We highly recommend Posener's Pankration/MMA!
