⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ • in the last week

I've been a member of the club for around 2 years now. Walking into any kind of gym, let alone a martial arts gym, for the first time is intimidating but every member of staff and other fellow members put me at ease. It truly feels as if you're a member of a tight-knit club that encourages everyone to improve and grow. The gym caters to members of all ages, skillsets and goals. As someone who does not intend to compete I have never felt as if I have recieved less attention in the training sessions than those that do compete. For anyone who is interested in martial arts but hesitant to begin training, I strongly recommend coming to several sessions and trying it out. I did and was very soon attending every week and loving every bit of it!

I've been a member of Combat Sports Academy CSA for 12 years, and it has truly become a second home to me. The instructors are exceptional, providing top-notch training with a perfect balance of discipline and encouragement. Over the years, I've formed friendships that feel more like family, and the supportive community here is unmatched. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced athlete, Combat Sports Academy CSA offers a welcoming environment where everyone can grow and achieve their goals. Joining this gym was one of the best decisions I've ever made

My Family have been members of CSA since the beginning. Myself and my two sons have trained bjj close to 14 years now. It has shaped our lives in not only teaching us martial arts but how to be better humans. I can not recommend the club enough. I believe as a parent that in this day and age every child should be encouraged to take up martial arts especially bjj. It gave my sons not just an ability to defend themselves but also filled them with confidence and self belief. Now as adults they are hard working successful men. This is partly due to CSA and bjj being part of their lives since they were 5 years old. What ever class you take at the gym be it bjj, mma, Muay Thai or boxing i can guarantee that you will feel welcome and will get amazing coaching from the staff. CSA is no longer a club to me it is home.
