Sensei Peter Lakin, 5th Dan has trained in Martial Arts continuously for over 18 years and for the last 14 years he has been a principal training partner of Peter Consterdine, the Chairman and Co-Chief Instructor of the British Combat Association.
He set up the British Combat Academy approximately 5 years ago with the principles of both Peter Consterdine and the British Combat Association clearly in mind - that application of Martial Arts and self defence taught by people with real experience and achieved with hard, intensive, progressive training.

Alex has trained in martial arts for 7 years. He is the clubs leading instructor on fitness and health and is available any time to help members with any fitness, health or martial art goals they may have. Alex takes the conditioning circuit classes twice a week and helps out with the junior kid's kickboxing classes.
It is the clubs belief that if you look smart then you can train smart and no-one will feel left out for wearing the wrong kit. We appreciate that to buy it all at once can be costly but in line with every other martial art club we are changing the rules so that all members dress the same to create a feeling of solidarity amongst ourselves.
The grading syllabus will be made known to every member so they will acknowledge and understand the level of skill they have to be competent at prior to grading. Grading is not compulsory and everyone is encouraged to work at their own pace to realise the goals they set themselves. Grading however, is not also a given.

Can’t recommend Pete and the gym enough. Been having 1:1 sessions for a few weeks now and really impressed with the skills and knowledge Pete has shared. The self defence skills taught are beyond invaluable also. Extremely professional set up and clean environment, highly important in the strange COVID times. I’ve noticed a class for kids that follows my usual session and it’s great to see such enthusiasm enter the building. I will certainly look to be enrolling both my children when they are old enough.

Fantastic place to take young kids to give them an introduction into kickboxing/martial arts. Pete is great with kids of all abilities and ages. My son has mild special needs and makes great adjustments with him as well as the others. Strong emphasis on discipline (which is great for young kids) and my lad absolutely loves going - Highly recommended place to take your son/daughter

My twins Ellie and jack started kickboxing here about 7 months ago. My girl had no confidence and has come on leaps and bounds. My son is very much into it and wants to go all the way. Can’t recommend enough and the team are amazing with the kids and make them feel comfortable in all they do. Thank you x
