Fantastic experience: Was in clacton for work and messaged the guys at primal to ask if I could drop in for a class, they replied quickly with a yes. Everyone was very friendly and the coaching was excellent. Will definitely be back!
Fantastic experience: I visited Primal Combat in Clacton-on-Sea for the adult class this week, and I was initially nervous about starting combat training. However, those fears quickly vanished as soon as I stepped into the welcoming and comfortable environment. The instructors/coaches here are really knowledgeable and always make you feel at ease, creating such a supportive and friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend this place for anyone considering combat training. The space is fantastic too! Five stars all the way!

Fantastic experience: Brilliant place to train, just wish I joined sooner
Fantastic experience: Fantastic and professional coaches with a lot of knowledge and experience. I have trained here for 9 years and wouldn't train anywhere else. I have competed multiple times and have progressed with my own skillset. My son has also been training bjj for the last 5 months here now and is improving and growing. He loves every training session. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to either improve fitness, learn self defence, compete, make friends, build confidence, learn a new skill, find a new hobby, improve overall happiness and self satisfaction or all of the above. Primal combat academy offers all of this and more. You won't be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: Been at primal since relocating to the area in 2017. Can't recommend enough. Was welcome at the start with a great team of coaches and fellow students all happy to help. The level of the kids class is just amazing and cant wait for my little one to go once he is old enough.
Thank you James
Fantastic experience: An amazing place to train. A great place to learn and grow not only in the martial arts that are offered but in yourself also. Noting is achieved from within your comfort zone, this place offers amazing coaches and team spirit is number 1, so get in touch and give it a go, you wont be disappointed.
Thank you
Fantastic experience: The team that work there are really welcoming and friendly. So, if you're worried about coming down on your own and giving it a go. Don't be. Even the club members are easy to approach and talk with. The classes themselves are brilliant, very professional with the element of banter. even if you don't have the cardio to keep up at first (like myself). The more you attend you'll naturally develop with the cardio fitness it provides anyway.
Thank you Ryan
