I joined Armour Academy specifically for the women’s only kickboxing class and I attend both Thursday evenings and Saturday mornings. Komal the instructor has extensive knowledge in boxing and pushes me to be the best I can every session. The classes are really exhilarating and Komal changes the content each lesson to keep it fun. The facilities are kept clean and tidy and are perfect for use. I enjoy the classes so much I’ve brought several of my friends and family to the academy and they are now regular attendees of the classes too. Really looking forward to getting back to the Academy as soon as the lockdown is over.

My teenage daughter attends women’s only kick boxing classes on Saturday mornings with me and we both love the classes. The trainer adapts the level of intensity to your ability and is always on hand to give advice and make corrections. The size of the class means we are able to work out in plenty of space and with the right amount of guidance. The academy itself is run really well especially recently being covid compliant.

Excellent place for kids to have fun and learn professional martial arts, self defense skills. Inspiring coaches and passionate owner. They are all considerate, of the individual needs of children. Great at building confidence and motivation in children. Herb is the owner, who is amazing in running the academy, communicating effectively and supporting all his members. Reasonable prices for top professional services.

My son was a little apprehensive about starting self-defence classes but the club fosters a fantastically encouraging and nurturing environment. Since he started his enjoyment has continued to grow and its now one of the highlights of his week. Great to see his confidence and abilities growing. The instructor Alex Reid is a natural with children and I think strikes a perfect balance between maintaining discipline, learning and keeping the classes fun. I couldn’t rate the club highly enough, excellent in all respects

Great boxing gym with brilliant staff! Training sessions are always varied and detailed. There is a good mix between learning fundamental techniques and displaying your skills. I believe the price is fair and is of good value. Always a positive enviroment to enter, you will not regret joining the team!

I highly recommend this martial arts school. Herb runs the school very efficiently. The instructors at The school are first class. My daughter gets lessons from Alex who is very good with children and adults alike. He is very thorough and the students get to see what real kickboxing is like. The other instructors are all very dedicated and held in very high regards in their chosen Art. Keep up the good work

Like most parents, I also desire the very best
for my son.
Before thinking about his education and academical success as parent I firstly, prioritise my sons health.
I cannot think a better way to spend money investing in his physical and mental health well being ,but to register him to Armour Academy. In order for my son to join martial Art lessons.
My son love his master/teachers each one of them are valuable honourable trustworthy individuals. He even told me how dear master Alex inspired him. I’m so happy as a mother and can only encourage parents to push their children into the right place where children will not only benefit from learning martial art, but also progressing in an atmosphere where they make new friends.
Herb is a great individual he is always caring I can trust and recommend to all parents.

My son started kick boxing just over a month now, he absolutely loves it, I am now thinking of doubling up classes and introduce my daughter. I am so pleased Armour Academy is providing a great club for young people and adults, they are very customer focused and friendly. I recommend Armour Academy, credit to them 🙂

My son joined Armour Academy and has found the classes absolutely brilliant. Herb the owner has always been very professional and friendly towards my son and myself. Alex the instructor is excellent. My son loves his class and comments on how fun and engaging the lessons are. He has made friends and most importantly grown in confidence.
We would definitely recommend Armour Academy.

Komal is just an amazing coach and motivates you to work and push hard. So happy to discover this place. I was apprehensive of joining kick-boxing classes but these sessions are a great all-over workout and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed all her sessions – it felt good to leave my stresses on a punchbag. Would highly recommend Armour Academy to everyone wanting to learn or improve their boxing and still get a fantastic workout.

Very welcoming and positive environment at Armour training academy. Even though I was a complete beginner, I was made to feel very comfortable and Herb helped me through any questions or worries I had. Komal is a very motivational trainer who makes you find your inner fighter no matter how timid you may be. She ensures she spends quality teaching time with all the members and brings the fun into exercise with her bubbly personality. I definitely recommend fitting in a few classes each week, especially as a stress reliever.

Engaging, fun, expert and friendly!
My two boys 13 and 9 love attending; its building their self-confidence, keeps them fit and trains them well to take care of themselves. Herb runs the school brilliantly and Alex is a world-class instructor. I have toured the area for a suitable place to take my kids and this is by far the best I have seen.

If you are looking for a martial arts club, look no further. This place is a breath of fresh air; I was fed up with places who take your money and, in return, give your child meaningless skills they can’t use and a belt.
Herb is a very honourable, gentle and a professional individual who understands child’s psychology and a great motivator. Then, there is Alex Reed! my son’s instructor. He is an amazing fighter in his professional life, who loves teaching kids, very kind and down to earth human being, given his credentials.
Thank you, guys. Wish you all success in the future.

My 4 boys aged 8-13 have been doing the zoom classes while in lockdown. I can’t recommend highly enough. The boys really look forward to the classes and find them interactive and fun, they work hard and feel they learn lots.

After a hard year this was exactly what I needed, nothing better than getting active after a pandemic. Turns out Armour Academy is the perfect place for me, I’ve felt very welcomed by Herb and the trainers Alex and Remik are skilled and professional. Amazing classes for adults and children,always looking forward to the next one.

My 7 year old son absolutely loves the kids kickboxing lessons here. The owner and teachers are amazing and his confidence has grown immensely.

Before attending he was being bullied and was too scared to stand up for himself. Now he defends others from bullies! Couldn’t recommend enough.

ARMOUR ACADEMY literally feels like a family and we really couldn’t have asked for more from such an amazing friendly setting with 1st class professional coaches & at an affordable price.

my boys absolutely LOVE going there and can’t wait until their next session. my 8 year old does at least 4 classes each week in BOXING, KICK BOXING & SELF DEFENCE and my 13 year old, who recently started BOXING, has already developed a passion for it. the instructors at ARMOUR ACADEMY are INCREDIBLE and HERB is so warm & welcoming. my sister and i are really looking forward to our YOGA BOX class and we may even trial for some of the other classes. i’m trying to get my husband to start BOXING but unfortunately he’s a bit too precious :))

i would highly recommend ARMOUR ACADEMY as i want nothing but the best for my boys. i feel extremely fortunate that we’ve found such an amazing place where they can follow their passions.

The trainers are great and there’s a genuine community feel. Would recommend for anyone who wants to improve their fitness or wants to learn the fundamentals of boxing

Excellent coaching and wonderful team spirits. Highly qualified trainers. My daughters enjoys training every week.

Great club me & my kids go Twice a week. Herb & Alex are great guys-. Alex amazing teacher & Champion. Recommend to everyone. Lots of equipment & boxing ring.

I had my first boxing lesson last week with Matt and I absolutely loved it. Can’t wait to go back this week. Such an amazing place.

Great place. Herb, Matt and Alex are sound. Joined up straight away after the free session. Would definitely recommend.

Love the ladies kickboxing and my son enjoys his self defence classes. Herb is amazing and ensures everyone has the best experience.

Armour Academy is an awesome place. A very friendly, open and welcoming gym. There is nobody there frowning or judging you on your fitness level or how you look. They encourage having fun and learning new skills. It is run by Herb who is really great, warm and very friendly.

My 9 year old daughter loves her kids self defence class on a Saturday and gets really excited when it is time to go. She wants to stay for the next class but unfortunately it is for older children. The trainer is Alex Reid who is an ex MMA fighter and celebrity. You would never know that because he is very chilled and makes the sessions about the kids and helping them learn new skills.

I go to boxing on Monday evenings and my trainer is Matt. It is a smaller class due to Covid-19 restrictions but it feels safe, we train at a good distance from each other, Matt wears a mask.
There is always great music and there is never any pressure to be like everyone else in the gym. There are people who are of different abilities and Matt incorporates this into what he is teaching us.
I am so glad we found this place as we love attending classes and really missed them during the full lockdown.

I am really enjoying the kickboxing class. It’s great fun and the instructor is brilliant.

Both of my kids have started classes and are really enjoying them. Great atmosphere and not just good for their physical wellbeing but also mental wellbeing.

Highly recommend !!!! My son is a member of the armour academy . Before this club , he tries many others boxing club. He didnt want go there . For my son, all his life is Xbox. I had a lot of problems with him because of the games. When he went to his first training to armour academy, couldn’t believe his transformation. After returning from training, the first question I heard from him was :”mum when I can go to training again?” . I would like to thank the owners of the armour academy, because they changed my son’s thinking. Thank you so much for that. Thank you coatches , because of You ,my son start to believed in himself and his abilities. Happy mum 🙂

I have been training for boxing at Armour Academy since January 2020. Really glad that the academy is open again now after COVID restrictions were eased.
Herb is an amazing owner – friendly, considerate and flexible always taking keen personal interest in your progress. All the trainers (I train with Matt) are experienced and you feel it’s a personalised exercise regime.
Due care is being taken regarding cleanliness and centre sanitisation including social distancing to try & ensure everyone’s safety.
I would highly recommend Armour for men and women of all ages as the class schedule is versatile enough to suit your needs.

Great experience training here, the trainers and facilities are all top notch.

Friendly and experienced staff who cater to all abilities.

Great place to train with top instructors
