Amazing gym. Joined my son initially to help him build his confidence and learn new skills. I expected it to be difficult to integrate at first but found completely the opposite. Everyone was friendly and welcoming from the staff, the coaches and the other parents, many of whom are now good friends with whom we socialise. I have now joined the gym along with my daughter and are enjoying keeping fit, in shape and eating well whilst learning new skills in the art of kickboxing. Great gym that I would highly recommend to anyone.

I love my gym . Just try it and you won’t look back! I have dropped 2 dress sizes in less than a year and have progressed to a fighter development programme after a year . The support I have received has been amazing ! The coaching is fantastic and so well structured towards each and every members needs . All the staff are so friendly and supportive and really will make you feel welcome. If you want to try martial arts , or if you have done martial arts before but want a world class coach or if you just want to get fit , the combat academy is the place for everyone !!

been training here for around 3-4 months now,really enjoying it the coaches and staff are all really friendly and approachable and have a wealth of experience and success to their name. My fitness and skill levels are improving all the time thanks to top coaches and people down there, all in all a cracking gym and would recommend to anyone of any age and skill level. The success speaks for itself!

I love it here. My son loves it here! We both train with them and we just love it. Great for everything from fitness to self confidence. Great teachers, great staff, just awesome. 100% recommended.

I've been training at the combat academy for a couple of months now and I haven't got enough to say about them. The staff and environment is the most encouraging supportive and friendly you'll ever find. Since training with these guys I've found my self fitter, stronger, more confident, and happier all from a couple of months. If you're looking for a place to escape, build yourself up and feel like a part of something this is the place to be! Trust me you'll never look back just like the hundreds of members they're already there

I started at the Combat Academy about 2 years ago and would not train anywhere else. An upbeat positive environment, top class coaches who will guide you through any fitness/kickboxing goals you want to achieve and will exceed expectations. My son has also started the Litte Ninjas classes and absolutely loves it, and I’ve even managed to recruit my Mum who I’ve been nagging for years to exercise to no avail and now she’s got the bug and wishes she’d started sooner. I literally recommend the gym to everyone, it’s a family and community as well as a gym.

Brilliant gym. Started taking my son to kickboxing lessons about 6 months ago to help with his general fitness, balance and Co-ordination. He's got two fantastic coaches in Mick and Tommy, who look after the kids and push them to be their best. They also have respect and discipline at their core ethos, so they're training minds as well as bodies, can't recommend highly enough.

Such a wonderful gym, been going since may and am so impressed with the way they like to keep professional but also have a nice session and talk! defo recommend as the gym had expanded my confidence & fitness

Great place, great people. Can get very busy!

This is a fantastic club the team is excellent and they cater for all ages and abilities and ambitions they will bring out the best of you providing you put in the effort . #lifechanging

The combat academy has been apart of our lives for 5 years! Our 2 boys love this place! In this space of time they have grown into 2 amazing young men. They are physically and mentally in good shape and always have a positive outlook on their life. The Combat Academy has played a massive part in shaping who they are today, and for that we are grateful for everything the team have done. The coaches are amazing,supportive and most of all help you achieve your goals, they also go above and beyond their "roles" making you feel apart of the family, who are inclusive no matter your ability. The ladies on the desk, they are amazing too, extremely helpful and make you feel at ease in such a lively environment. It isn't just KICKBOXING, it's a way of life! Signing up will not be a disappointment!!

My children have been attending the Barnsley centre for 7 years. I have witnessed this place grow and go from strength to strength, creating world class fighters and coaches. Everyone here cares. Everyone from the owner, the staff, the coaches to the young helpers, across all gyms! They care about the kids, their experiences, their progress and everything else inbetween. They are dedicated and passionate about martial arts. My son has developed and changed so much and a lot of that is through the time and dedication given to him here. My daughter absolutely loves coming and really enjoys the fitness at only 10 years old. It's helping instill a healthy attitude towards food and fitness that will last a lifetime. I can honestly say that it's worth every single penny! This gym has become an extended family and support network. From Ninja tots, to juniors, to Fighter team development, there is something for everyone. You won't regret joining.

I cannot recommend The Combat Academy enough to anyone, this place is part of our lives and we love it here. It has been an absolute success story for us all, for myself not only has it bettered me physically but has also impacted positively on my career, I have gained more confidence to push myself in my work gain promotions. Our son has progressed massively and he has become so proud of his achievements and we can't believe how far he has come on. For anyone thinking of starting this Journey I would say immediately to give it a try, it will be one of the best decisions you will make. The Instructors are dedicated and will help you achieve your results whilst having a great time. Thank you Combat Academy!

I have been attending for 16 months. I initially started to get fitter after loosing a substantial , life changing amount of weight. The discipline, structured exercise and professional instructors and their support teams have encouraged me to achieve my best and push myself. The sense of community is second to non and makes each class a pleasure to attend despite being challenging both physically and mentally. The academy is a great place to learn new skills for any one from 3 years to 60+

It's the best thing I've been told I'd not last at. I started at the beginning of lockdown and now it's like a second home. The coaches have helped massively with helping my confidence and not being afraid of being around new people. The whole place is welcoming and it feels like one massive family. I'd definitely recommend to anyone 🙏🏼

I took my son to 2 other martial arts centres before trying this one and he said he loved it but didn't like leaving me and going in another room (he was only 5). I took him to the Combat Academy a few months later and the minute I walked in the door I thought this place has a different atmosphere, a better atmosphere. The kids aren't too far away from the parents and he could see me from the mats, so he was happy😊. He couldn't wait to go again. As the weeks and months went by he made friends and so did I. His attention, listening skills and behaviour came on lovely. Then I heard that a ladies class would be starting on Tuesdays during the day, so I thought this would be a good idea for me to get fit, lose weight and learn a new skill, the main drive for joining was so I could help my son practice at home. As it happens I'm hooked, I love it and regret not doing it years ago. I've made loads of friends, infact they talk about the Combat Academy been like family and it sure feels that way. I'd tried hula hooping, gym, swimming, trampolining, legs bums tums, you name it I'd tried it and never stuck at them as they never held my attention for long enough. At the Combat Acedemy I feel motivated to go week in week out as I'm learning and developing myself, it truly feels like a work for the mind body and soul. My son has a few more belts to go and he will be a black belt, I never thought I would get any belts and I've got loads, I'm catching my son up slowly but surely, my partner also joined so we can all do it together as a family. I would say the Combat Acedemy has brought us closer together as we have a common interest, that we all enjoy. The coaches were great with my son when he was new and have continued to encourage him to be the best version of himself, teaching him morals and values to prepare him for his teenage and adult years. They are highly motivated, encouraging and you can see they genuinely enjoy what they do, they are literally transforming lifes. The centre is a clean safe environment with up to date equipment, the reception and admin team are always available to answer any questions and offer support to you and your child. The cost is good value for the amount of enjoyment and future opportunities on offer in comparison to other hobbies. If your in doubt I'd recommend having a chat with the admin team who will be sure to answer all your questions.

Although I'm not a member, my daughter is and my best friend. The combat academy have done 2 day sessions at our school and have helped so many of our children, alot taking the sport further. I rang for help with a child and the staff were very helpful in getting him enrolled and on the path to challenging his thoights etc into doing good. I can't recommend Nathan, Nicki and the combat academy in Barnsley enough for all they do for the community 😊
