My name is Daniel Lucas, and teaching martial arts is a responsibility I take very seriously. Over the past 20 years, I’ve coached martial arts FULL-TIME across West London, working with more than 4000 students — the vast majority of whom started as complete beginners.
While I’ve trained professional competitors and World Champions who have fought on shows such as Bellator, UCMMA, and BAMMA at venues like The O2 Arena, Wembley Arena, and The Troxy, my real passion has always been helping everyday people take their first steps into martial arts developing skill, resilience and technique.
Having recently moved to Berkshire, I founded Lucas Elite Martial Arts to create a welcoming, beginner-friendly environment — especially for children and families who may feel put off by large, intimidating fight gyms.
Whether the goal is confidence, focus, self-defence, or simply trying something new, every student is supported, encouraged, and trained at a pace that suits them.
I look forward to welcoming you onto the mats.
