I’ve been working with Mauro for nearly two years. I love both the physical training and the self defence training. The physical training consists of mostly body weight exercises and calisthenics. This kind of work is great for all muscles in your body and can help you in many forms in day to day life. It also goes hand in hand with the self defence as it helps balance and makes you stronger.
The self defence training consists mostly of kickboxing and close combat situations. This training makes you more confident in your ability to protect yourself. The iscudi martial art teaches you how to defend yourself on the street and also deal with confrontational situations.
Handstands, monkey bars, chin-ups, animal movements, boxing drills, self defence – every week is fun and a learning experience. But the fun only disguises Mauro’s systematic approach which has made me measurably stronger. Highly recommend.
Training with Mauro is the complete workout. You build strength in mind and body whilst training with him you learn how to defend yourself and build aerobic fitness and strength with Bodyweight/ calisthenics training.
Mauro guides you with his expert knowledge of training and works with your limits. Mauro is one of the most humble trainers I have ever met, his skill set of calisthenics and knowledge of self defense is world class. He breaks down everything to its simplest form to make it easy for all levels to learn and progress. Couldn’t recommend training with Mauro enough if your a beginner or advanced trainer. You will always learn something and laugh and have fun along the way.
Iscudi is a modern martial art, rooted in a philosophy of creative movement and improvisation. It encourages you to explore your bodies full range of motion to find creative solutions to challenges encountered at all martial distances, from long range striking to grappling.
After having studied martial arts for over ten years and being awarded a blackbelt in Aikido, I found Iscudi to be a tremendously enriching form of training. Its martial philosophy is compatible with everything I’ve learned up to this point and it has revealed many new opportunities for my own skills to evolve. While the techniques practiced as part of Iscudi have a wide range of application including self defence and competitive fighting, it is most focused on improving your freedom of movement and empowering you to get the most out of your own body so that you can achieve your personal physical fitness goals.
I was give my first PT sessions with Mauro as a Christmas present. I was fed up with lifting weights and running on treadmills. Over the years Mauro has transformed my strength and conditioning training with a mixture of movement, flexibility and agility, core stability and power. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Among the best presents I have received.
I started training under the instruction of Mauro Sulcis over 3 years ago for Kickboxing training but he introduced me to the world of Iscudi self defence and Martial Arts. Iscudi has brought me to much more indept journey to Martial Arts and Self Defence training with a better understanding than I’ve ever had, having been involved in Martial Arts from the age of 9. Iscudi is beneficial for self defence awareness, confidence building, weight loss and toning your body and above all, it’s fun! I would highly recommend anybody who is looking to broaden their horizons in their Martial Arts training and start a new journey unlike any other.
“Mauro is an incredible trainer. We have been working with him using the iscudi method for a few months now and the improvement we have seen in our strength and conditioning has been huge. Our sessions focus on a mix of disciplines but always include boxing, self defence and HIIT training. Each session is dynamic and engaging and the time flies by! Mauro ensures each session is varied and challenging. We look forward to our time with Mauro each week. We could not recommend both Mauro and the iscudi method more!”

“My wife and I attended this 2 hour session and learned some basic Self Defence techniques and skills. It was also a good workout. We, along with the other participants found it very enjoyable and worthwhile, thanks Mauro”……

Hi I have been training with Mauro for the last 5 years and he has changed the way I look at one to one sessions. I enjoy the martial arts side of training and his level of martial arts is as good as anyone I have trained with. However what he brings extra is a combination of gymnastics body movement and weight training combined together. He will truly change your body and mind
