Tamworth Kickboxing Academy (TKA) is a world-class kickboxing club run by Lance Manyer and Bindy Howes based in Wilnecote, Tamworth, Staffordshire. TKA has a great 'family' feeling and it is a place where people can come and challenge themselves, whilst being pushed and helped to achieve things they never thought possible.
It is our aim to retain our high standard of students past, present and future by helping you become the best kickboxer that you can be. We love what we do and get lots of satisfaction by watching our students grow. One of our favourite things is seeing our guys grow and develop. This can be from a real shy child who doesn't say boo to goose to them wanting to put their hands up to do a demo in class in front of everyone.

Services
We have a structured belt syllabus and training programme, many people start kickboxing wanting to get fit and learn how to defend themselves, but very often after a few months they want something to show for their hard work, at TKA we can take you from beginner to black belt and beyond. The classes are up tempo, friendly and fun but always with hard training, we focus on pad work, bag work and the kick shields or working out in the ring.
In today's world of sedentary lifestyle due to computer games and a decrease in fitness and competition at school, we try to instil a good work ethic, healthy competition and physical fitness. We have a good reputation of working with kids and have developed many good kickboxers, but most importantly we have played a large part in helping to develop some talented young people for their future.
We also work on important fitness factors such as circuit training and strength training. We also run the Prizefighter boxing challenge twice a year. This is a 10-week training program that gets you fit and ready to step into the ring. This not only pushes you but gives you a focussed achievable goal and helps you raise money for a good cause.
Private lessons and Personal Training are a great way to accelerate your learning and can benefit your fitness levels or to focus on a specific element of your training such as a tournament or fight preparation through to improving specific areas of expertise and fitness. Whatever your needs the dedicated one on one training with an experienced instructor is guaranteed to deliver results.
This is a dedicated ladies only kickboxing class where you will learn new combat skills, get fit, improve cardio, muscle tone and help with weight loss. You will also have the opportunity to grade if you wish. This session is taken by Bindy and combines elements of kickboxing and boxing. You will learn to kick and punch properly using focus pads, kick shields and punch bags.

It was a great idea taking the kids out for a run in the sun this week guys, Jack was exhausted lol, although he still wanted a sparring match when he got home 🙈 I have to say that you guys do a great job, you run a professional and fun club and Jack really looks forward to his training session every week. If anyone is thinking about joining, or… their kids joining, then don't hesitate, just do it, you won't regret it. Being part of a club brings so many benefits, you'll make friends for life, and it's a real life challenge. Since Jack joined TKA about 16 months ago his physical

My daughter joined TKA just over 12 months ago after being recommended by a family member. My daughter was shy, self conscious and often struggled with friendships. WOW!! My daughter has become a different person. She is more confident in her abilities and has made lots of new friends within the TKA family. She has graded and is now determined… to start participating in completions. I would never have seen this coming. Lance and Bindy are amazing and adapt to work with each member according to their own individual personalities. They are patient, firm but fair and also have a great sense

My 2 kids have been coming here for over 3 years and it is a fantastic club to be part of. My kids have learnt respect & discipline and their confidence has come on leaps and bounds from being part of this club. Life long friendships have been built as well. Lance and Bindy put a lot of effort and commitment into the club and the kids thrive on it… and love going to their classes. I my self have joined the ladies fitness class and I didn’t think I’d like it but I absolutely love it and my fitness has increased and the class of ladies are fantastic to train with. Lance and

My daughter has joined TKA for over 12 months now and absolutely loves it and has achieved a couple of belts in this time. I have also attended the ladies bootcamp on a Saturday morning for 6 months, which is also great, Bindy works you hard bit its so worth it. I would recommend both the adults and children classes. TKA are the best x

What can I say about this club that hasn’t been said already. Fantastic place for building fitness, life skills and self confidence for children of all ages and fitness levels, and adults alike. Lance and Bindy truly care about the kids they teach. Honestly couldn’t wish for a better place for my children to train. They have been coming for around 2 years now and still love every minute. I’ve recently started the ladies classes and surprised by how much I enjoy it and can see my fitness levels improving already. Thumbs up all round from me ❤️

Walking into any gym can be daunting, TKA makes you feel welcome from the start. The boxing classes are an excellent way to get into shape and having no boxing experience my concern was I'd get a pasting. This simply was not the case and the support, encouragement and motivation was constant throughout. TKA provides is a centre of excellence and all staff are at the top of the game and there is a real buzz about the place. Price wise, single sessions, monthly membership and private sessions are highly competitive. The first step is always the hardest but it's one you will not regret.
