Our Schools

What Is The Combat Academy Curriculum?
Our curriculum has been developed based on decades of Martial Arts Experience. We combine Traditional Martial Arts concepts with a modern approach to teaching meaning; we are able to build honour, character and respect while engaging students in fun high energy classes which ensure they learn, develop and grow while creating friendships and being part of a support network that aids their success.
Part of any good Martial Arts code involves seeking growth through challenge. We help students achieve this by undertaking gradings which help focus learning and break down their Martial Arts journey into manageable bite size chunks where students develop the right skills at the right time while enjoying the benefits of always having goals to work towards and always testing themselves to be the best they can be.
Enjoyment, Adventure & challenge
A key part of the learning journey for any student is growing through challenge. The Martial Arts Journey is filled with challenges throughout the various stages of development. These can be through belt testing at gradings, competition or through embarking on our Certified Instructor Training. Each students learning journey is different so learning opportunities are tailored to suit the needs and requirements of students.

Our son Teddy, who is 7 years old, has absolutely flourished since joining. His confidence, discipline, fitness and kickboxing ability have improved beyond anything we could have imagined. Every week he looks forward to training, and watching him grow both as a kickboxer and as a young lad has been incredible.
A huge thank you to Gasan, Blaine, Guyvin and all of the instructors. The passion, patience and dedication they show to every child is second to none.
