Hertford Combat Academy is Hertford’s first full-time martial arts & fitness gym. It’s owned and run by Brett Sizeland (former Mixed Martial Arts & Cage Fighting Professional) and Andy Newall (former British Muay Thai Champion) - both of whom collectively have over 50 years of high level martial arts experience.
On the surface, it’s maybe not somewhere that parents would initially think of taking their kids, but Brett and Andy explain that martial arts is all about growing as a person:-
“At HCA our kids classes have an emphasis not only on physical development, but psychological and emotional development too. Learning martial arts teaches respect, dedication, humility and many other important character traits that help build children into great adults. We have both Muay Thai and Jujitsu classes where your children can learn the modern combat arts with a emphasis on traditional values.”
Brett has run a gym in Epping for the last two years: “We have always encouraged parents to bring along their children so that they are used to being in an environment of fitness,” he points out.
Andy adds: “It’s important to point out that we don’t just let children get into the ring. For younger children it all about helping with their balance skills, movement positioning and discipline.
“Only when they are emotionally and physically mature enough are they allowed to spar.”
Children’s classes are running on Wednesdays and Fridays from 5pm to 6pm. Find out more visiting www.hertfordcombatacademy.co.uk.
