Combat Academy UK Staines

Combat Academy UK Staines Self defence, Kickboxing and Mixed Martial Arts classes at The River Bourne Club in Chertsey. It is predominantly sparring utilising Kickboxing AND Jujitsu.

We specialise in Self defence (JuJitsu), Kickboxing and Mixed Martial Arts classes have a mixed age range, ability levels and are pretty equally split with guys and gals! The self defence class follows a JuJitsu syllabus with some great street self defence techniques and ground work. It is important to look at a wide range of techniques so you have more at your disposal should you ever need them. We also look at the main area of self defence which is learning how to spot potential incidents and avoiding them. It's a friendly atmosphere and new comers are welcomed and encouraged. Our JuJitsu class on Tuesday have a mixed age range, ability level and are pretty equally split with guys and gals! The class includes JuJitsu syllabus with some great street self defence techniques and ground work. The class on Thursday is a mix between Kickboxing and mixed martial arts. It involves kicking, punching, takedowns with throws, sweeps, ground work, locks and chokes (for adult advanced practitioners only) all mixed together. Test your postures, use your Jujitsu techniques in a practical way whilst being resisted and counter attacked. All sparring is controlled and the emphasis is on learning and not combat. Find your limits of balance and learn to work yourself into the correct positions to maximise the use of angles whilst avoiding or minimising the risk of counter attacks and spoils. C.A.UK club uniforms to be worn. There is no need to book...
just turn up and have a go.

🥊 It’s not about being the toughest in the room.

It’s about learning how to stay calm when things get difficult.

At Combat Academy UK, our students learn martial arts, but they also learn respect, discipline, confidence and how to look after the people around them.

Strong enough to stand up for yourself.
Wise enough to know when not to.
That’s what martial arts is really about. 👊

Behind the scenes...

For many years now since I moved back to the Isle of Man, I have met with my instructor Ian Gauldie (Owner/Founder of Combat Academy UK) at 12 noon every Monday.

We talk about teaching, principles and philosophy of Martial Arts, and practice our kickboxing drills and Kali criteria together.

So what is so special about that you may ask...

Well, Ian lives over 250 miles away in Bracknell in Berkshire.

We meet on-line via Teams. Ian in his home Dojo, me in mine.

Why is this important?

1. I am still and always be a student.
2. I practice what I preach.
3. If something is important to you, you will find a way to make it work.
4. Combat Academy UK and its clubs are a community, a family.
5. Within Combat Academy UK supporting each other goes beyond teaching and training how to punch, kick or defend ourselves.

If you are interested in joining me and the other members of Combat Academy Isle of Man in Peel, on a Tuesday, Friday or Sunday, get in touch.

We choose to be either warriors or ordinary men. A second choice does not exist..

When it comes to being a warrior, either you choose to be a warrior or you don't. There is no middle ground. You choose to be extraordinary or your choose to basically be like everyone else. This is one choice which is black or white, either you are a warrior or you're not.

This doesn't mean that you choose to work in a warrior profession or you are not a warrior. Being a warrior is something you are, not something you do. It originates in your spirit, not your profession. There are warriors in all walks of life.

You may be a businessman, a teacher, a doctor, or an electrician and still be a warrior. Warriorship is being ready, willing, and able to step up and fight evil when you must. Being a warrior is who you are inside, not what you do for a paycheck. It is who you truly are in your spirit, and the warrior inside will come out when he (or she) is needed.

Being a warrior is a choice; nobody is born a warrior. We make ourselves into whatever we want to be in this world. We choose. We choose to be a warrior or we choose to walk through life like the average person, but make no doubt about it - YOU make the choice.

When you decide to live the warrior lifestyle, to live the life of the warrior, you are choosing to live a life that is more disciplined and ready for action. You are choosing to keep your warrior skills honed and ready. You are choosing to live life to the fullest and to seek the truth in every situation. You are choosing to be a guardian and protector, not just for your own family, (most people do that), but for any who need and deserve your protection.

The second choice doesn't matter that much. Once you choose to be a warrior, what you do for a living is up to you. Some warriors feel a deep urge to go into the warrior professions, and others feel a different calling. What you do for a living doesn't matter, as long as it is honorable. It doesn't change the fact that you have made a choice to live as a warrior.

Living your life as a warrior means you take life a little more seriously. You see the hidden truth that others prefer to ignore or turn a blind eye to. It means that you love peace, but you stay prepared to meet and defeat the violent predators of this world, understanding that there are many in this world who do not share your sense of honor, justice and integrity.

Choose to live the warrior lifestyle. It will enhance your life, strengthen your spirit and your body, and associate you with those of character, honor, and integrity. We were all meant to live with honor, but only those with the warrior spirit are always able to do so. Choose to live with honor! ~ Bohdi Sanders ~

Your mental and physical health are the most precious of things.

However, many leave their Health and Wellbeing to chance 🤔

Do you avoid prioritising them for another day 😬

Make excuses as to why you can't be supportive, nurturing and kind to yourself 🤦‍♂️

Have you considered that if you are not doing everything you can to support yourself Mentally, Physically, Emotionally you are actually SELF-HARMING 😭😭

Don't leave your mental or physical health and wellbeing to chance.
