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!

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.
