Everyone at our gym is deeply saddened by the tragic passing of Colin Cairney.
Although we didnβt have the privilege of knowing Colin personally, itβs clear from the many tributes that he was very much loved, hugely respected, and made a lasting impact on so many people.
Our thoughts are with his family, friends, teammates, and everyone affected by this heartbreaking loss.
May his dedication, character, and passion for the sport continue to inspire the next generation of boxers and martial artists. His name and legacy will not be forgotten.
Rest in peace Colin Cairney

π₯ BIG COACHING NEWS AT CHIMERA! π₯
Weβre very excited to welcome Mark Lobwein to the Chimera coaching team!
Mark is a highly experienced and well-regarded Australian BJJ black belt who recently moved to Stirling. Heβs currently training full-time at the Griphouse while preparing for the World Championships β and from this Tuesday, heβll be taking our Tuesday evening Gi class.
As a Gi specialist, Mark brings a huge amount of knowledge and experience to the mats, and weβre delighted to have him joining the team.
π₯ And thereβs moreβ¦
This Thursday, black belt Gary Priestly kicks off his No-Gi coaching journey with us, adding another hugely experienced coach to the weekly timetable.
And of course, our regular Sunday No-Gi class with Andrew continues as normal β another key part of what is becoming a seriously strong weekly BJJ programme at Chimera.

Three coaches. Three quality sessions. A very exciting week for Chimera. π
Weβve taken our time finding the right coaches to help move the club forward, and we genuinely believe we now have a fantastic team in place.
A massive thank you as well to our senior coloured belts who stepped up, supported classes and kept everything moving while we worked things out behind the scenes. Thatβs what a real team looks like. β€οΈ
