Total Combat Academy

Fantastic experience: Total Combat Academy has an amazing atmosphere. Welcoming, focused, and full of energy. Coach Harks and the rest of the team bring a lot of experience and share their knowledge freely, which is invaluable whether you're just starting out or looking to level up. Training here has improved both my physical and mental fitness. It's a great place to train, learn, and grow.

Fantastic experience: Originally started watching my son train here in the children's MMA classes. After watching his confidence and fitness increases week after week I decided to give it ago my self in the adults beginners muy thai classes. It's a really friendly atmosphere and heas helped my confidence, fitness as well as my mental health. Would highly recommend to anyone hoping to keep fit and make new friends

Fantastic experience: Ive only recently begun training here. But i absolutely love this place, first day here i felt like i was at home. Everyone is respectful and humble. And the overall environment is seriously welcoming and enjoyable. Would 100% recommend this place to others

Fantastic experience: I've trained at the academy doing boxing and mauy Thai since January/February and it's never been a regrettable experience. Each session is worth it. It's definitely made me more confident and determined. The coaching is brilliant and there is always a focus on each person. Because of the classes, I've grown a passion for something new and I'd definitely recommend it to anyone interested in martial arts or just wanting to challenge themselves to become better.

Fantastic experience: Best place to train to be fair. Great atmosphere there and everyone is so welcoming. Been visiting it for the past 18 and loving it. My 7yo daughter goes there as well and enjoying it too. Coach is a GOAT

Fantastic experience: Having been to several gyms before I can say this is the best one I've been to. Despite only being here a month I can say with confidence its probably one of the best fighting gyms in Leicester with really good value for money. The trainers are always supportive and make everything very clear, they will help you with anything if you ask. You never feel singled out and everyone who goes here is really nice and will also help you. Totally recommend for anyone looking for a good fighting gym

Fantastic experience: Good place to train for all skill levels, the coaches are great they really go into detail when explaining everything

Fantastic experience: I have gone to boxing and muay thai lessons for some time now and never felt more confident in my abilities as a fighter and athlete. After looking around Leicester for the best mma gyms naturally landed at TCA I have never been pushed to my limits like I have by Coach Harcus. The circuit drills have got me hating burpees more than anything but never felt more in shape. Reccommend TCA for anyone looking to build their MMA abilities. You definitely won't regret it

Fantastic experience: Joining TCA has really helped me and pushed me forward not just to get closer to my goal of competing in mma and being a better fighter, but it has also pushed me to be better as an individual, instilling a drive to always be better, work harder and come out on top of any situation in life, thanks to coach harcus and his exemplary teaching methods. I've only been training out of Total combat academy for around 2 months now but it feels like a second home because of the vibe, atmosphere and uplifting energy everyone brings.

Fantastic experience: Trained with TCA for 3 years all of the coaches are incredible and the atmosphere and community in the gym is amazing.

Fantastic experience: I went to other boxing places as well, but this one is the best out of all, not because of the environment that is best as well but because of the coaches they take real life approach, and help you in life no matter what, you do they are always there and treat you like a family. They approach about the boxing, and muay thai is really good as well, and you have opportunities to learn form the experience fighter as well form there. Shout out to Pac and adam. Who look out for you as well.

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere. Friendly and masculine. Everybody is willing to learn and teach. Coach Harcus and coach Aadam are top blokes

Fantastic experience: Walked in and immediately knew that this gym would be the best choice for the goals I was looking to accomplish. The coaches are very knowledgeable and take the time needed to teach the fundamentals. 10/10 would recommend.

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere, great bunch of people, no big egos, and coaching is second to none. Coach Harcus has a wealth of experience and knowledge. Just pop in to a session and experience it yourself. 1-2-1s are also recommended for fine tuning and getting even more out of training.

Fantastic experience: Spectacular academy! has drastically changed the quality of my life since starting, I’ve learnt skills that will be invaluable for the rest of my life. Everyone is extremely friendly and has become a community of close friends for me. Harcus and Raj are brilliant at what they do, both coaching and personally. Would recommend to anyone, remember the hardest part about starting is starting! Once you get your feet in the door, you’ll never want to leave. More success is coming for the academy!

Fantastic experience: I have trained here recently for Muay Thai sessions as well as attending the boxing session. The environment is amazing while learning great fundamentals from Coach Harcus

Fantastic experience: The best Gym in Leicester with coaches always willing to share their knowledge with everyone, I started here with zero knowledge about fighting and everything I’ve learnt so far has been down to the coaches. Couldn’t recommend enough

Fantastic experience: Excellent academy. Brilliant Coach as-well. Would highly recommend to anyone that wants to learn Martial Arts.

Fantastic experience: I've been going for over a year now to the Muay Thai and sometimes boxing classes. It's something that I would recommend to people from any age or skill level, as everyone is supportive and helpful. You will learn more than self-defence and fitness. It gives you confidence and discipline that is transferable to any aspect of life.

Fantastic experience: I can honestly say there hasn't been a gym where I've felt more welcomed, people will go out there way to talk to you, and make you feel like apart of the TCA family. The coaches are absolutely fantastic and knowledgeable, it's more of a community than just a standard gym.

Fantastic experience: Total Combat Academy is an amazing place! From day one I felt welcomed into a supportive community. The coaches are exceptional, knowledgeable and dedicated to helping each student grow, regardless of skill level.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely quality place to train and Harks is the man

Fantastic experience: Both coaches are greatly experienced and the atmosphere is friendly, yet firm. Every session pushes me through my limits and I find myself a stronger man at the end. Would recommend to anyone wanting to train martial arts at any level. Very affordable packages, a good set of people and, above all, a good sense of community.

Fantastic experience: Great place to train for all-around fitness and with opportunities to choose from like muay thai, boxing, bjj, mma. Even added classe for C/F and S/C. They have a great atmosphere, whatever discipline you want to learn. I even bring my son along beginners and advanced classes to train at for all abilities. I wanted to start boxing after being referred from a close friend. I enjoyed it that much, I cancelled my mainstream gym, and this is where im at now. Respect for the training TCA coach Harcus and Adam

Fantastic experience: Good environment and atmosphere as well as coach who is well versed in his craft for beginners to learn.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming to Total Combat Academy since February 2024. Great facilities, great people, great coaching. Some good banter as well . I’ve never been to any other gyms but it’s hard to believe there’s anything better out there. Recommended for all levels.

Fantastic experience: Best and only place to Train and learn new skills and to build self confidence if you are new to mixed martial arts, Coach harks is the most knowledgeable person I know in the striking arts and will teach you new skills regardless of if you are a newbie or have been boxing 19 years like me and still learn something new in class

Fantastic experience: Whether you want to just get in shape or get in the ring or learn self defence it’s all here the coach’s know what is required to get the best out of you and it feels like one big family

Fantastic experience: Amazing coach and people!!

Fantastic experience: Great academy, trained here for 8 months and it has been an amazing experience. The coaches and attendees are very welcoming, as was the case with myself. I was totally new to the sport of BJJ and they were very accommodating. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a new academy, no matter their expertise.

Fantastic experience: This place is AMAZING, facilities are excellent, training staff is super knowledgeable and approachable. I don't train at the academy but my husband does and I see first hand how amazing everything is, they are like a family and I'm so excited to see them getting back to doing what they love. If you are reading this looking for the perfect academy, look no more, you have found it.

Fantastic experience: This academy is a game changer. It provides the best possible experience for the lowest cost. All I will say is that it is different than the other academy's. How? Come visit TCA and find out.

Fantastic experience: TCA is an amazing club to train at. The coaches push you to be the best and get the most out of your training always. I was very apprehensive to go at first since I am a girl and had terrible cardio and strength but everyone is so welcoming and after almost a year in I have significantly improved my stamina, strength and cardio. It’s a great place to train if you want to improve and push yourself in a motivating environment!

Fantastic experience: My son has been attending Muay Thai classes after going to many different places and this is by far the best. The teacher is absolutely excellent and my son has progressed so much. Highly recommend this academy for training.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Total Combat Academy for 8 months now and I can say that this is the best Martial arts academy around. Both Coaches have a great aura and energy and have helped me and many others to progress in training and get into better shape via the effective training. Would definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: I previously did a little bit of boxing when I was younger. Then mainly did bjj and wresting. Unfortunately in 2019 I ruptured my ACL and tore my meniscus which meant I trained sporadically until having the operation in October 2022. I lost a lot of confidence but came across TCA and made an enquiry for my young 6 year old daughter and myself. Instantly coach Harcus called and made me feel welcome. I joined in 2023 with my daughter and am regaining my fitness and learning Muay Thai. The club is very welcoming and being a busy professional it provides me with a welcome form of stress management. The club has a great ethos, equipment and most importantly top class encouraging coaches. I look forward to training here with my daughter and my son when he is able for years to come and am grateful I came across it. have made many new friends but more importantly feel great after each session. Highly recommend for anyone regardless of age, fitness, gender or race the club has a place for all.

Fantastic experience: Been training on and off at TCA for the past 2 years, I attend the striking / sparring sessions on Thursday with Coach Harcus. Great vibes with respectful students of various skill levels and always picking up some new skills. Definitely worth a visit if you're local to the Leicester area and into your martial arts.

Fantastic experience: As a 40+ year old with minimal experience in combat sports, I was a little apprehensive about starting at TCA however I needn't have been. The coaching staff are extremely welcoming, knowledgeable, patient and all round great guys. The students that go to the classes are friendly and encouraging. I have been going for about 6 months now and I always leave the sessions with new skills and with a smile on my face!! I would recommend this club to anyone, of any age, in fact my 6 year old goes to the kids MMA classes and he loves it!

Fantastic experience: The best place to train! Made to feel so welcome! Great coach, great team and the best place to meet likeminded people and friends! Couldn't recommend it enough

Fantastic experience: People in the academy were nice.

Fantastic experience: been with TCA for almost 2 years now top level coaching, amazing atmosphere and a great community of fighters of all levels

Fantastic experience: Was so nervous to do any martial arts training given my weight and poor fitness levels. Harks and the team put me at ease straight away. I've been training for 18 months now and I still look forward to every class. I learn something new every week and the coach and training partners have continually supported me and my progress. Classes are super enjoyable and the people who train there are fantastic. I've learnt so many new skills and my confidence has grown exponentially. Couldn't find a better or more affordable place to spend my free time training.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member at Total Combat Academy since November 2021, I have thoroughly enjoyed the classes, made a lot of friends and enjoy the facilities this club has to offer.

Fantastic experience: Great place, great people. They've created a great community, everyone knows one another and happily welcomes new members

Fantastic experience: Toughen yourself mentally and physically here push your self to your limits here at TCA. By far one of the best places I’ve trained, friendly, knowledgeable and very experienced coaches. Definitely a humbling atmosphere and I’ve also gained a sense of tranquility here. Muay Thai and Nudda Max classes will push you to your limits physically and mentally. Combat fit and strength and conditioning will get you in great shape and improve your physical fitness.

Fantastic experience: me and my friend went along for a nudda session, such a lovely coach, gave us all the help we needed and spent a little extra time with us when we didn’t understand would 100% go again sometime :-)

You'll pick up stuff that's legit effective.

Fantastic experience: I cannot praise this gym enough! Been training here for a few months and absolutely love coming to class. Great training partners and coaches who really encourage and nurture you. I've really learned a lot in such a short time. Classes are tough but very rewarding and I've met some fantastic people. If you have never trained before or are looking to train in an ego free environment then this is definitely the place to come.

Fantastic experience: Great place to train with extremely knowledgeable coaches and a friendly atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: What a top notch training academy! Highly recommend if you want to get into shape and develop your defensive and offensive capabilities as a fighter. Classes are both technical and fitness orientated, so you’ll leave having learnt something and feeling fitter than before. Fantastic value for money too, so make sure to check this place out. Instructors know their stuff, and treat you with respect regardless of your level of ability. Check it out!

Fantastic experience: Amazing place to train martial arts! The coaches are super friendly and really know their stuff. The environment is really welcoming and chilled, but we do train hard! I've been training NUDDA along with the fitness classes at Total Combat Academy for the past 9 months. In that time my skills and fitness level has sky-rocketed! I recommend TCA to ANYONE who wishes to learn martial arts

Fantastic experience: Great place to train with good quality coaches and friendly atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: I've been training BJJ here for over 2 years and I have to say it's the most welcoming, chilled and friendly environment to train in. The coaches are all of an excellent standard and as well as possessing good knowledge and experience, they really go the extra mile to ensure that you progress and have fun whilst you're training. In the time I've been there I've gained a blue belt in BJJ and made some great friends. I'd recommend Total Combat to ANYONE who wants to learn martial arts or simply work out in a fun and friendly gym (that's growing all the time) where you really feel like you're part of something.

Fantastic experience: I started the Brazilain Jiu Jitsu class over 2 years ago and from the first class I was hooked. This is a great academy to learn, it's very welcoming, friendly and has no ego the instructer Balraj Mann is a brilliant instructer and teacher I learn alot from his classes. I wouldn't want to train anywhere else in Leicester as I now class everyone I train with as brothers and family.

Fantastic experience: I've been training here for about 9 months, I do the BJJ classes and it's a good, welcoming vibe. Instructors are very knowledgable and as a club it's growing all the time. Totally recommend.
