" Training with the Kent Combat Academy allowed me to improve both my body and mind. Each day I'd enter the gym with a group of like minded individuals focused on elevating our fighting ability and racking up wins. Everyone in there pushes themselves and others to their best and is hungry for the next competition ahead. I feel blessed to spend the time that I did with the coaches Gav and Loz, while also sharpening my skills with fellow fighters like Tommy, Jack and Moe. I couldn't recommend a better gym in the south to train at!"

" Best thing about fighting: great workout that gives you a confidence and strength that you carry with you in all aspects of your life (work, dating, traveling etc.)

Have been training for about 8 years now and love training under Gavin/Loz/ Scott at KCA/CGA. Trained at a few places before moving back to Ashford and the attention to detail and encouragement I get from the coaches is second to none.

Gav has got great experience in all areas of combat sports and has massively progressed the fight team over the past few years. He’s helped me to improve my skillset and has given countless hours helping the team with extra training, weight cuts, competitions. 

Great atmosphere with a good mix of skill sets on the mats, the coaches are able to vary the sessions to suit all skill levels and prioritise any team members with upcoming fights.

I was really nervous to begin my training journey but so glad I did and it’s given me so much reward over the years so if anyones considering it but on the fence then just comedown and give it a go. See you on the mats. "

" Training with CGA/KCA has been a honour the team they have from the coaches to the fighters and the hobbiest is one unit I've learnt some things I could have never learnt from this team on a human level and as a fighter I'm very proud to have been a part of this team and fight for this gym.

Best thing about Fighting -
The thrill straight up anyone that says they don't get a thrill is lying atleast some adrenaline that rush you won't feel anywhere also another important factor about Fighting is you can't cheat it it's like nothing else it's the truth right there infront of everyone you really about to find out who you are!!"
