  • Training since the age of five, Jamie’s career spans over 27 years of elite competition and includes an impressive legacy of 31 British titles, numerous continental crowns and multiple world championships under sanctioning bodies such as WKA, WAKO, WUMA and WMAC.

    He was one of only a handful of lightweights to compete in the prestigious Full Contact Open Weight Combat 32 Championships, and for more than a decade he was ranked in the top five pound-for-pound fighters in Europe — alongside names who would go on to crossover to MMA and major combat sports promotions.

    Alongside his competitive success, Jamie’s passion for broader combat systems led him to study sport jujitsu and submission wrestling under internationally respected coach Trevor Roberts, culminating in his earning a 3rd-degree Black Belt in that discipline as well.

    Founder & Head Coach — Goulding’s Martial Arts

    In 1996, Jamie founded Goulding’s Martial Arts in Bolton (UK), building it into a full-time, respected centre of excellence for martial arts training. Under his leadership, the academy has produced over 500 British, European and World champions — spanning sport karate, kickboxing, MMA and submission wrestling — and has helped thousands of students grow in confidence, discipline and martial proficiency.

    Jamie’s coaching reputation also brought him into the world of Hollywood stunt work and fight choreography. Through collaboration with top stunt coordinators, he has trained and prepared actors and performers for major action films, working with talents including Hugh Jackman, Jason Momoa, Daisy Ridley and Gal Gadot to enhance their martial arts performance and on-screen movement.
