What Our Members Say
I walked into The Combat Academy because, at 41 and overweight, I realised I needed to do something for myself, and I didn’t want my son growing up thinking that sitting still was the norm. It was time to show him that change is possible, even when you’re not exactly built for speed.
I won’t lie… session one was a shock. Who knew hitting pads could be confusing? I was apprehensive, unsure what to expect, and already wondering if I’d accidentally signed up for something far more coordinated than I am. But the coach and members made everything relaxed, friendly, and genuinely enjoyable.
Five sessions in and things are shifting. My legs burn (a lot), my lungs work harder than they have in years, but weirdly… I’m having fun. The more you hit pads, the less your brain panics, and my T‑shirts are even starting to fit better. Small wins, big impact.
The community is what makes this place special. Everyone takes the time to slow things down, walk you through the movements, and remind you that it’s not about being perfect, it’s about being consistent. That message alone has changed how I approach each session.
My “I’m actually doing this” moment came last session when I ran through a few combos without stopping. It wasn’t flashy, but for me it was huge. A proper little spark of confidence.
If you’re my age, my shape, or my fitness level and you’re scared to start, just give it a go. If you don’t enjoy it, at least you tried. If you do enjoy it, you’ve found something new - you’re moving, you’re thinking, you’re doing something for yourself. Consistency beats perfection every time.
Five stars - and I’m only getting started.
