My 8 years old child is shy. I remember the first day at combat, standing with his back to everyone and not wanting to participate. His way of being has changed enormously. He is much more confident, and he is getting his training seriously but he is also having fun.He works hard to get results and he is proud of what he has managed to achieve so far. We are equally proud of him.Tomorrow he is going for the green belt.💪

My daughter joined Combat academy 14 months ago just before her 5th birthday. I co parent so when looking for an activity for her it was difficult because of the direct debit element. The CA was the best option as it allowed me to make up the missed sessions when I have my daughter in the holidays. Tyrone is an amazing coach , teacher and positive influence to not only my daughter but all of the children. My daughter hasn’t once shown a negative side and not wanted to go. She loves every second of her time there. From the interactions of Tyrone and his staff. Lisa , Megan and Jamie are amazing and welcoming with all the new members. Highly recommend. 5 stars. CJ and OJ. The harder we work , the luckier we get.

My son joined the Combat Academy in September 23 - He loves every minute of his sessions and always begs to attend. My little boy is living with ADHD and has always found it hard to focus, be disciplined and be co-ordinated. Since September he has developed skills that will set him up for life. His schoolwork has improved and teachers at parents evening commenting on how he has developed a better focus and level of calmness in lessons. I can not thank the team at Northampton enough, all the coaches and team who work so hard to support everyone who walks into the gym. The new friends my little boy has made is brilliant and the term ‘combat family’ is true!! We can see the passion and dedication leading from Ty and the difference that Lisa, Meg, Jamie and Ty Snr makes is overwhelming! Thank you ☺️
