    The Richmond Academy has its own full-time premesis, located above Richmond train station. The spacious, modern, air-conditioned training hall is fully matted and there is a seating area where parents and friends can observe the class.

    The Richmond Academy has always been successful in the competetive arena, but also breeds a strong sense of fellowship between its Instructors and students, producing an immediately welcomeing atmosphere. Though the Academy competes regularly, it is by no means a "fight school", encouraging members to train for fitness, self defence or even just for fun! 

    The Richmond Academy also plays host to the Face The Pain MMA Training Camp, aka the Combat Company, and is also the venue for the Richmond Dance school.

    One of the main things that set the Academy apart from amateur Martial Arts clubs is our wide range of Martial Arts programmes, all of which are officially approved and monitored by the GBMAA and the BKC.

    These programmes have all been specially designed to cater for specific age groups and ability levels, so you can rest assured that whether the programme is for yourself or one of your children, every class will be structured and taught to suit the needs of every individual present.

    This means that anyone can train, no matter what their level of expertise, while ensuring that nobody is held back, nor left behind.
