My son has been going to this gym for 3 years now and going to this gym has given him confidence, somewhere to let of his bounds of energy, some independence, encouraged him to lead others. Not to mention facilitating exercise. He has made loads of friends and has fun. Amazing. The parents and carers are also a fab community.
He has come on leaps and bounds. Now on the leadership programme, having completed positive start programme and little ninjas.

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!
