REACH YOUR FULL POTENTIAL

Develop Boxing Skills, Fitness & Confidence

Our Boxing programme teaches the noble art of boxing through fun, interactive and trainer-led group classes. 

Each session breaks boxing down into clear, structured stages, helping you improve your movement, technique, fitness and confidence as you progress. 

Suitable for adults and teens aged 14 and over, the programme supports a range of fitness levels, from complete beginners to more experienced students looking to sharpen their skills. 

You will learn, train and challenge yourself in a way that feels focused, rewarding and far more motivating than a standard gym workout. 

Fitness just got a whole lot more rewarding and fun.

What Our Boxing Classes Include

Our Boxing classes are built around structured coaching, clear goals and real skill development. 

Each session can include footwork, punch technique, pad work, combinations, defence, movement and conditioning, all taught in a way that helps adults and teens progress with confidence. 

No previous boxing experience is needed. Our coaches guide you step by step in a supportive, judgement-free environment. 

Training takes place in a clean, fully matted and fully equipped academy space, giving you the right setting to train safely, stay motivated and keep improving.

IMPROVE WITH EVERY BOXING CLASS

Meeting New People

Whatever your fitness goals are, you can achieve them with The Combat Academy!

Challenging, Skill-Based Fitness Training

Boxing gives you a powerful fitness workout with a purpose. 

Instead of repeating the same gym routine, every class gives you something to learn, practise and improve. 

You will work hard, build stamina and challenge yourself while developing a skill that keeps training focused and rewarding. 

Whether your goal is to get fitter, feel stronger or build more confidence, our Boxing classes give you a motivating way to train and progress.

Boxing Training Can Be a Positive Outlet for Stress

Boxing training gives you a positive way to switch off from everyday pressure, release energy and focus on the task in front of you. 
 
Structured, skill-based classes keep both your body and mind engaged, giving you something positive to work towards each week. 
 
Each session gives you something clear to work on, from movement and technique to pad work, combinations and fitness. 
 
Many students find that boxing helps them feel calmer, more focused and more in control after a busy day. 

Celebrating Success & Achievement

Our boxing programme is built around structured, coach-led sessions rather than random workouts. Every class follows a clear curriculum developed through years of training and coaching experience.

From beginner to advanced level, our students are supported step by step as they learn boxing technique, improve their fitness and build genuine boxing skill.

Students have the opportunity to complete level tests every three months, giving them clear goals, visible progress and a real sense of achievement as they move through the ranks.

Very friendly, supportive leadership with a student mix of experience and ages. The lower grades are separate classes to the higher grades, so teaching stays within a certain experience level, making it accessible for newbies to join in and enjoy learning and not feel intimidated. Higher belts in the classes also willing to help lower belts with skills required to progress. Classes are well planned and vary each session and move at a pace to keep you on your toes, but build on fundamentals. The building is well maintained and plenty of space with good range of equipment to use, from gloves to bags to use and parking available. Anyone looking to get fit, be part of something and learn a martial art won't go wrong giving it a go. This is from 50plus stiff jointed overweight old fart, that's a little less fat and stiff each week, and having fun (hard work but fun).

I honestly can’t recommend The Combat Academy Barnsley highly enough.

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. They know exactly how to get the very best out of each student, making every session fun, challenging and rewarding. Teddy is flying under their guidance, and we’re so grateful for everything they do.

A special mention also has to go to Nikki, the centre manager. She is one of the friendliest, most welcoming people you’ll ever meet and will genuinely bend over backwards to help you and your family achieve your goals. Nothing is ever too much trouble, and she makes everyone feel like part of the Combat Academy family from day one.

What makes this place so special is the atmosphere. It’s supportive, encouraging and full of people who genuinely want to see each other succeed. It’s much more than a martial arts gym—it’s a community.

If you’re looking for somewhere that will help build confidence, respect, resilience and life skills while learning from exceptional coaches and amazing people, then The Combat Academy Barnsley is the place to be. We couldn’t be prouder to be part of it.

We have been coming since my son was 4 years old. He was shy, clingy and hated crowds of people. He had no self confidence to go out and play with other children. After we started his combat academy he grew and grew in confidence. He is now 7 and thriving. He loves kickboxing and the changes it has made to him. He now thrives in school, will try anything new and doesn’t have any issues with crowds of people. Combat academy has changed his life for the better. He is now determined to reach his black belt ! Cannot thank the staff at Barnsley combat academy enough for the support they have given him over the years and continue to give him now.
