Tigerstyle MMA

Tigerstyle MMA was founded in 2024 by Shah Kamali and Tanveer Miah, two British Bangladeshi martial artists raised in East London. The academy grew from their shared vision to create a space where local talent could flourish, particularly for those who had long been underrepresented in combat sports within the area. Shah brings a wealth of competitive experience as a professional MMA fighter with an impressive amateur (6-0) and professional (4-1) record, as well as a background in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and active competition. Tanveer, with over a decade in K-1 and Muay Thai, contributes deep technical knowledge and a commitment to clear, accessible coaching. Together, they have built a club that reflects the resilience and diversity of their community. Training at Tigerstyle MMA covers the full spectrum of mixed martial arts, with structured classes in MMA, wrestling, Muay Thai, kickboxing, and no-gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. The grappling programme is led by coaches with international experience: Amir Marouani, a purple belt in no-gi BJJ and regular competitor at European and World events, and Abdullah Hannan, a multiple British and English wrestling champion who has represented Great Britain abroad. The schedule features beginner fundamentals, advanced/competition classes, and open mat sessions, ensuring clear progression for everyone from first-timers to active competitors. There is also a strong focus on youth development, with classes for ages 6–15, and a women’s-only Muay Thai programme led by active competitor Yasmin. Classes run Monday through Saturday at the club’s new facility on Chapman Street, just a short walk from Shadwell DLR and Overground. The gym is fitted with premium Zebra mats and offers open mat sessions for self-directed training. Drop-ins are welcome, and the timetable is designed to accommodate both adults and juniors, with sessions in the late afternoon and evenings during the week, and mornings on Saturdays. Tigerstyle MMA stands as a testament to what can be achieved when technical coaching, lived experience, and community come together in London’s East End.
