  My 14yr old daughter joined in September and has never looked back since. She has grown in confidence and strength and character....she is so happy....the community and superb coaches are so supportive and help give life skills and build character....she has just received her red belt.....we are sooo proud of her and recommend anyone hesitating to give it a go!

  After trying every fad diet and trending exercise regime out there, nothing worked, nothing stuck. I attempted to get into a routine of going to the gym, however, feelings of insecurity, anxiety and fear, prevented me from adapting to this. I was about to give up hope and accept that maybe I was just destined to stay unhappy, unfit and miserable. However, destiny had other plans. I spotted a 6 week taster course for kickboxing, advertised on Facebook, and took the chance of trying it. I arrived half an hour earlier than the start of the class, and sat in the car terrified, watching the clock. What did I think I was doing? I’d watched dozens of lean and fit looking women walking into the academy, laughing and giggling with each other. I put my hand on the keys to turn the ignition, start the car and drive away. But something in me made me get out of the car and before I knew it, I was walking through the door. I can honestly pin point this as the moment that changed my life. That was November 2023 and I’ve recently earned my orange belt in kickboxing. Kickboxing has taught me acceptance, discipline (although my coaches may disagree 🤣) and provided me with goals that have pushed me through some really tough times in life. I wouldn’t know where to begin to thank Stu, Ry and Jamie for their continued dedication, empathy guidance and support in each and every session, providing me with a support network, which can only be matched by the outstanding friends that I’ve made there, and continue to welcome. Apologies for the essay, but it’s only the tip of the iceberg. At the combat academy Sunderland, we don’t just “fight”, we fight for each other. See you on the mats 🫡

  If you’ve been thinking about trying something new, I can’t recommend The Combat Academy in Sunderland enough. It’s been a life-changer for me, and I’m so excited to keep going on this journey! The team at TCA have supported me, encouraged me and really helped my confidence grow. I've lost a stone so far since starting and have made lots of new friends as well as learning something i never thought I could. Theyve also helped me overcome some servere anxiety and depression recently and brought me out of a pretty dark place. The team make you feel part of the family as soon as you walk through the door. I do ladies and adults classes, there is no BS when you read these other reviews, the support is immeasurable 😍😍😍

  What a journey the last 10 months have been! From a nearly 50, unfit person to a 50 year old fitter person who has achieved her orange belt. Coaches Stu, Jamie & Ry are amazing guys who support you at every step and is unwavering. When you don't have the confidence in what your doing they help you through with understanding and patience. They have built the most amazing community/family that is growing & growing. Why don't you join us............😉 You won't regret it!

  If you want to learn a skill and defence yourself, this is the place to be. I started 4 months, and it's the best thing I've learned in a long time. It's great for building your confidence and fitness as well as a good laugh. It is well worth the time and effort the team put in always to help with every kick and punch you learn to throw. (Even the bruises or badges of hard work)
