Voodoo Combat

Fantastic experience: Voodoo Kickboxing has been great for my daughter — instructors are patient and encouraging. She’s gained confidence, discipline, and improved quickly. Classes are fun, age-appropriate, and safety-focused. Staff communicate well with parents. Highly recommend Voodoo for families.

Fantastic experience: Amazing friendly gym, my son does the little ninjas class and would highly recommend to any young child to do. Staff are very friendly and knowledgeable, always make you feel welcome and nothing is too much trouble for them. My daughter will starting too and she can’t wait. I can’t speak highly enough of voodoo gym

Fantastic experience: Amazing place my 4 year old daughter loves it warm and welcoming atmosphere teachers make it fun for her

Fantastic experience: Amazing and inclusive gym. Very welcoming to new and travelling students and the instructors are so passionate and knowledgable it was great for both new and experienced martial artists! Thank you!

Fantastic experience: As a mid-fifty-year-old complete beginner, I wasn’t sure what to expect when I joined Voodoo Gym—but I can honestly say it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. The trainers are absolutely brilliant—knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely passionate about what they do. They know exactly how to work with people of all abilities and make you feel both welcome and empowered from day one. The atmosphere in the gym is, quite frankly, outstanding. It’s motivating, friendly, and full of positive energy. Everyone encourages each other, and there’s a real sense of community that makes turning up something to look forward to. My only regret? That I didn’t join sooner. If you’ve been thinking about giving it a go, do yourself a favour—get started. You won’t look back!

Fantastic experience: Really great place to train, everyone is really friendly and welcoming, and most of all patient with slow learners / those with no previous experience.

Fantastic experience: Family orientated, family run. Both my daughter (5) and I gave been training here 12 months +. Our classes are well structured, disciplined but most if all alot of fun. We've got fitter, stronger, learned some cool moves and made new friends along the way. Macclesfields no1 martial arts gym.

Fantastic experience: At 62 years old I decided to take up kickboxing. Yes it's a challenge but 9pmalso so much fun. Everyone is so friendly and encouraging. Unfortunately I can only get there once a week but would go more often if I could. I would definitely recommend it to us more mature women for flexibility and the feel good factor and if I can do it anybody can.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, great coaches, amazing atmosphere, love this place

Fantastic experience: Great gym, great coaches, amazing atmosphere, love this place

Fantastic experience: Joined this place a week ago and I'm already really enjoying it. The instructors are very respectful and always have time for you! Would recommend.

Fantastic experience: Nearly 3 years ago I walked in to Voodoo & knew straight away that this is where I wanted my, then 7 year old, son to train. Now both his sisters have joined him & are loving it!

Fantastic experience: Awesome. Great group of people,who really know their stuff.

Fantastic experience: I had never practiced martial arts before coming to Voodoo. The capable instructors and friendly members of the class have made it a wonderful experience getting into grappling. I had a really easy time making friends. The classes give plenty of time for drilling maneuvers, getting the techniques down, and sparring to find your own style. I would definitely recommend it.

Fantastic experience: Joining voodoo has been the best thing I have done since moving to Macclesfield. Dave and Amanda have created a space with the fullest devotion not only to the martial arts but to an excellent environment all through out. The coaches are all members of the gym that are there every week and that knows everybody by name and what they're about. You cant walk through the door at voodoo without being greeted by at least five different people, asking how you are or how you have been and all of them want you to be the best version of yourself. I have done sport all my life but that sort of caring I have never seen before. Dave also took a whole saturday of his calender to come and coach me in my first tournament. If that doesnt show how devoted and caring he is as a coach I dont know what does. I cant speak highly enough of this place and anybody looking to learn martial arts, better themselves and get fitter and maybe make friends along the way should consider joining the voodoo family.

Fantastic experience: This gym has been so welcoming. I’ve signed up to the girls beginner classes in Brazilian jiu jitsu, really great way to exercise and the coaches are fantastic!

Fantastic experience: Great place to learn, right from the coaches to fellow students. I've become so much more confident as a striker and motivated to keep pushing my limits.

Fantastic experience: Voodoo Combat is a great gym. The coaches are excellent and severe about training, depending on your beginner or advanced level, but they also have a good and friendly vibe. At Voodoo Combat, I've discovered the power of a balanced approach to training, incorporating both striking and grappling. This unique method has significantly elevated my fitness and martial arts experience, and I'm confident it will do the same for you. You have beginner and advanced classes, so if you are new to fighting, it is an excellent gym to try.

Fantastic experience: Voodoo Combat is a great gym and the best I have been to. Dave and Amanda are excellent and friendly coaches, the classes are split between beginners and advanced which makes it much more welcoming for new people and allows you to learn quickly without being canon fodder for upper belts all the time. The single biggest reason that new comers do not return to a gym is due to the warmup being too intense. While my previous location had an hour straight of conditioning, Voodoo takes it comparatively lighter in order to ensure that you can get more valuable rolls at the end of the session. If you are considering taking up BJJ, wrestling or kickboxing but are concerned you may not be experienced or fit enough, I would strongly recommend the foundation classes at Voodoo.

Fantastic experience: Voodoo is a fantastic gym that creates a safe and enjoyable learning environment which caters for every level of ability. Dave, Amanda and all of the coaching staff at Voodoo have a wealth of martial arts experience between them which they effortlessly teach and demonstrate to all their students. The Voodoo members go above and beyond to help and support one another which creates an inclusive and relaxing workspace where everybody can learn and feel confident enough to ask questions. I have been a member for almost 18 months and the only regret that I have is not joining sooner. Dave, Amanda and the whole Voodoo team - thank you for everything that you do.

Fantastic experience: Amazing place full of down to earth, friendly people and high quality coaching. A real family feel where everyone helps each other

Fantastic experience: Absolute great place, have loved every minute of training there. Great classes and instructors. Top place, highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Fantastic coaches, full of great people and brilliant gym.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym and coaches. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: My 4 year old attends Ninja's twice a week. Pablo is the coach/trainer and he is an absolute wizard with the kids. They learn discipline as well as martial art skills, he does not take any messing about but does it in such a way that I also learn tricks as a parent. The kids listen, respond and have a great time but also learn respect. He also has great fun with them and is teaching their minds as well as physical fitness. I love watching the class and seeing the kids support each other and the older ones look out for the littler ones too. Really can't recommend enough!!

Fantastic experience: The best thing iv done is join voodoo gym, physically and mentally! Fantastic environment to learn and grow not only in the skill set of martial arts! Top place, awesome people!

Fantastic experience: Never looked back once I started training here almost 3 years ago, great people, great coaches, a real social gym.

Fantastic experience: Best gym around, would definitely recommend. The staff are friendly and welcoming and so are the members. A great workout for you and/or the little ones!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym with the best coaches and training partners. Voodoo has a great range of classes, covering beginners to black belts, nearby parking and it's own cafe area! I joined over a decade ago and highly recommend it!

Fantastic experience: Since I started grappling at Voodoo my confidence has grown massively. The instructors are are awesome, friendly and really know their stuff. If you are thinking about starting martial arts, this is the perfect place. I can’t recommend it enough.

Fantastic experience: Voodoo Combat is a an absolute gem for anyone looking to level up their combat skills, or for someone new looking to get into it. The instructors have fantastic personalities, they're incredibly knowledgable and the atmosphere is upbeat and welcoming! Made lots of friends here, 5 stars!

Fantastic experience: We wouldn't go anywhere else! The kids classes are absolutely brilliant - engaging & fun, you never see a kid not enjoying themselves. Dave and Amanda are top tier, as are the rest of the coaches. They're all extremely knowledgeable, will always push you to be the best you can be and genuinely want to see you succeed in whichever Martial Art you choose. Great atmosphere, very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Trained here for 5 months in BJJ and progressed more than anywhere else I have ever trained. As well as that, it's also the most welcoming and friendly gym I have ever been to. It's worth every penny.

Fantastic experience: I was apprehensive about going initially as no idea what to expect. Couldn’t find a more welcoming and open place. Really recommend it - just awesome

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Macclesfield

Fantastic experience: Joined Voodoo a few years ago after I hit 40 and realised just how unfit I was. Kickboxing is a sport you can learn as your fitness improves and as my start point proves anyone can do it. Dave, Amanda, Pablo, Matt and all the other coaches at Voodoo are welcoming, professional, extremely knowledgeable and patient (2 years to work out how to throw a roundhouse kick might be a new record). Both my kids now go and I would recommend it to anyone, honestly you haven't got anything to loose just go for it.

Fantastic experience: This is an odd review as it is more about Dave than the actual gym. I have used gyms on and off for nearly 40 years so speak with some experience. I had the pleasure of meeting Dave when I bought some gym equipment from him. A nicer chap you couldn't meet. A good gym is usually the product of a great owner and therefore if I was in the market for a new gym, after meeting Dave I would strongly expect his place to be very welcoming and professional. Dave was knowledgeable, friendly and easy to talk to, he came across as someone who would be very patient with his students. Give it a try, I imagine you wont be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: Lovely and very understanding coach

Fantastic experience: This is the best martial arts gym I've ever trained in. They have amazing coaches who explain things very clearly. Everyone is very friendly and the atmosphere is great. The gym is suitable for all levels from beginners to advanced. It is always very clean and has all the equipment you need.

Fantastic experience: Ace gym guys! Keep up the good work!

Fantastic experience: Family friendly gym teaching all levels of kickboxing, wrestling and brazilian jiu-jitsu, and associated fitness classes. Very welcoming atmosphere from beginner to expert, and the coaches are always willing to take the time to ensure new starters are comfortable with what's being taught.

Fantastic experience: Friendly grappling, sparring and fitness gym. Experienced instructors and relaxed atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: Five stars great gym

Fantastic experience: Love this Gym, friendly but serious and a great mix of Men and Women and different abilities. Kick boxing and Boxing classes are both informative and active, the fitness classes are great and my child's classes have turned him from a shy awkward kid into a confident outgoing young man. Highly recommended.
