K-Star Thai Boxing Academy - Birmingham

Gabe

I have been so far coming to this academy for 6 months.

I can say from my own experience, the training is impeccable; you will learn not only from the great coaches but from your welcoming peers too. Axe, Ryan, Gene and Steven are all in their own ways great coaches and will help you become better than you are.

Here, they not only offer a FREE trial Lesson for any new timers but also for the small fee of £59/monthly they offer ,alongside their academy Shorts and T-shirt, lessons EVERY day and grant access to the facility for self-training between the times of 8am up to 10pm (which is 14hrs) on the weekday and on weekends from 10am up to 2pm (which 4hrs). You are also in this sum of £59/monthly granted access to Apollo Gym whilst separate to this facility is good to note.

Whilst most of the classes are in the evening; they do offer mid-day classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. You will find that the mornings are usually empty which is perfect to get in your own personal training for those that are free as all of the facility can be used. The Lessons usually take anywhere between 45min - 1hour and are conducted in pairs and led through coach guidance. You will find that the people that train alongside you in the gym, whether they are a beginner or an intermediate or any level, are helpful and friendly so long as you are respectful and kind to them.

The coaches, as mentioned prior, are very welcoming and understanding to each member, wanting only to push you to doing better and becoming better. They are very approachable and helpful when you are not understanding something in the lesson and will aid you in any misconceptions you have.

You will find that they have a reception where they offer not only drinks such as; water, energy drinks, protein drinks but also protein bars and equipment such as mouth pieces/shin guards etc... for a great price in comparison to store prices that can be paid both by cash or card with no minimum payment fee.

Through my time as a beginner, I was taught the foundations that were then built upon in further lessons / self-training which have then helped me progress to becoming better than I was when I first started, in all aspects. Progressing then into Yellow (intermediate) had allowed me to spar with others and exponentially improved my progress and relations with people that attend. I can say overall this academy has by far been the best money I have spent as it has completely transformed my life in only 6 months, I could not recommend this place more to others who are looking into starting a martial art or even simply finding a hobby to stay in shape.

My advice to people sceptical about this place because of some negative opinions would be: TRY IT, you get a free lesson anyway and until you see it you might not believe it, who knows you might just end up liking it.

Have been attending classes since January 2024
Want to express my gratitude at how great the coaches are here
Axe, Ryan & Gene are a Credit to Head Coach/Founder Steve Logan and He should be proud of how helpful, friendly and approachable they all are.
If anyone was on the fence about joining, definitely DO.

Great gym and great vibes.
Everyone is really friendly and welcoming so it makes joining an easy process.
The coaches are also wicked, especially with the beginner classes.
Big shout out to Axe, he’s very patient when teaching and he’ll watch and correct your form when you’re learning as well as hyping you up in the sessions.
Definitely join this gym, would highly recommend!!

Attended a taster session today at 7. Can’t remember his name, but the instructor was very helpful-he came over a few times to help with correct form and was very enthusiastic and professional.

And shout out to Axe he’s takes his time and will help break down the movement so it’s easier

I've been training here for just under 7 weeks, the beginners class welcomes all people and you feel included and involved in every session, I've only ever had positive and constructive conversations with Ryan and Axe, both are amazing teachers and take their time to make sure each individual understands each drill and is comfortable, the patience they both have is amazing, they push you to get better and better with each session.. If you're looking for a genuine friendly warm welcoming gym with amazing staff, this is it
