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.
