Andy Costello is the founder and head instructor of Project Mayhem MMA and has been training in martial arts for 25 years and has been teaching MMA for 5 years. Andy has had a well documented career as an international Judo player, kickboxer and cage fighter, most notably fighting in the UK's number 1 cage fighting championships Cage Rage on numerous occasions.
Andy began training in Judo in 1983 at the age of 17 and very soon began to demonstrate a great aptitude for the sport, quickly dominating fellow practioners with far more experience. In 1986 he was awarded his first black belt, and due to his success in national competitions he was selected for the British Judo team in 1993 after he won gold medal in the heavy weight division at the British Judo championships in London. Andy is currently a third dan black belt in Judo and a brown belt in BJJ under Italo Ferrera.
In 1989 Andy started to train in boxing and in 1996 Andy turned his attention to kickboxing and muay thai having 4 national kickboxing fights, and being ranked 11th in Britain at kickboxing in the heavyweight class.
In 2002 Andy turned pro in MMA and annihalated his first two opponents, beating them with ease. These wins coupled with his extensive background in Judo and kickboxing brought him to the attention of the UK cage Rage promoters, and he had numerous fights against some of the toughest opponents in UK cage fighting including James 'Colossus' Thompson who went on to fight in Pride and UFC.
Andy has now turned his attentions towards promoting his successful fight show 'Strength and Honour' and teaching private sessions in MMA and BJJ. Andy also coaches a number of MMA fighters and recently coached Rob Soanes to victory in his second semi-pro MMA fight.
