I absolutely love training at The combat academy in Rotherham, I've kickboxed for 16 years and used to fight out of the Wombwell gym back in the day before I retired and had some time off, I've tried various other gyms since but time is precious so it wasn't possible to get to Barnsley for me, when I found out there was a new branch open 10 mins from me I was overjoyed, especially since I used to train with Callum. It's great to get back to a format that I know and love and Mick has done a phenomenal job of teaching his incredibly detailed style of coaching to his new coaches, whether you are a beginner, experienced or young martial artist you will not regret choosing the Combat Academy!

I brought my son to TCAR almost a year ago, it has done wonders for his confidence, managing his hyperactivity & he's made some amazing friends. Callum is fantastic at encouraging and supporting him when he's struggling and we are super happy to be part of the combat academy family ☺️

I originally brought my eldest daughter to build her confidence and Callum has definitely done that. Brilliant coach!! She's obsessed with the sport and thats thanks to his efforts/dedication. We're hooked as a family, both daughters now attend aswell as myself. Can't recommend the Combat Academy enough.

I started the combat academy just a little under a year ago i was going through a rough patch felt unmotivated and just generally down and didn’t like my self that much. I saw the advert online for the 4 week start up course and just made that phone call I had never done combat sports before so I was realy nervous walking through the door for the first time as a unfit 14 stone 33 year old man, I was met with a smile and every one was down to earth and really welcoming no egos at all, I am now a lot fitter my mental health has improved so much and I’m mega motivated in life now even at work ! I’m now weighing 12.8 stone and that’s only two sessions a week and met some cracking people on the journey as well so a big thank you to the combat academy for improving my life and a big shout out to cal cope for continuing to push us all and making every session a learning experience and a good time.

The Combat Academy Rotherham is simply fantastic! Both my children attend classes and have increased in both confidence and fitness levels as a result of their hard work and their awesome coach. There’s such a friendly atmosphere and everyone is really welcoming. We practically live there now! Can’t recommend enough!
