Domin8_Academy_LTD

Honestly a hidden gem! My kids have developed so much in the short time of being with domin8 academy. The sessions are structured well and are age appropriate, there is a really good mix of discipline, fun and work ethic which is so important not just within this sport but also in real life. Coaches are passionate, incredibly skilled, very patient and also take the time to get to know each individual child and greet parents before the session. I originally thought it would be intimidating as some gyms can be but both the coaches and students make it such a pleasant environment for both kids and parents. Both my kids fell in love with this gym during their trial session, they continue to work hard in each session and always say how much fun it is after they leave the gym. It’s an amazing little community to be a part of!

I have been at this fighting gym for almost 3 years and I have not looked back since then. The staff are experienced, helpful and motivating. The sessions are 10/10 loads of hard work and every session is different so you are learning something new every time. I would highly recommend this gym even if you don’t want to fight but want to be healthy this is also for you. Book your free 1st session now!

I’ve been training here just coming up to a month now so I thought I’d experience all the class types before I put up a review.

This place is genuinely fantastic. The owner and head coach Nathan is a world champion who has had 45 fights, and the other coach Eddie is an experienced fighter who just got back from again fighting in Thailand.

This is not one of those commercial gyms where it’s just about getting numbers in the door with coaches who haven’t actually fought, this is the kind of place where they practice what they preach, simple.

You have so many classes you can easily book onto, fitness sessions, beginner and intermediate general sessions, open mats and sparring sessions.

The class structure itself is great, everyone is supportive (other members and coaches), each class is different in its own way so you’re always learning.

If you’re doubting it or you’re scared of being a newbie, come for the trial class! You’ll see for yourself how accurate this review is, and you’ll end up signing up for full membership at the end of it!

I whole heartedly recommend this place for anyone of any skill level, you’ll be treated like family here!

Have been going to this gym for 3 months, the coaches are really good and know their stuff, they are welcoming and teach you every step. The gym is also very clean.

I tried a few gyms but nothing compared to domin8

"I can't recommend Domin8 Academy centre highly enough!

The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about helping every student improve, regardless of experience level.

The training sessions are challenging, well-structured, and focused on both technique and fitness.

The atmosphere is welcoming and supportive, making it easy for beginners to feel comfortable while still providing high-level training for more experienced fighters.

The facilities are clean, well-maintained, and equipped with everything needed for effective training.

My 7 year old had tried a few other centres previously but always seemed to lose interest fast and having observed it seemed there was a disconnect.

However, since joining Domin8 Academy, I've seen significant improvements in his fitness, confidence, discipline, and Muay Thai skills.

The coaches whom some also compete professionally care about their students' progress and create an environment that motivates everyone to push themselves and reach their goals.

I'm overly greatful and thankful for all the Hard work that Nathan and the rest of the team are doing, in particular for the children including my own, which my child has benefited from immensely and always looks forward to the following week.

Whether you're looking to get fit, learn self-defence, compete, or simply be part of a great community, this is an excellent place to train. Highly recommended!"

We went for a trial session, and I knew immediately that this was the right class for my child. I first saw Domin8 Academy as an advert on Instagram and thought we’d give it a try.

My son had previously done a few months of jiu-jitsu and hated going, but since joining Domin8 Academy, he always looks forward to attending and learning new skills.

All of the trainers are brilliant—friendly, supportive, and welcoming. They really make you feel at ease from the moment you walk through the door. Highly recommended!

If you show up, put the work in, and keep a good attitude, you’ll improve. You’ll get fitter, build confidence, and develop both in and out of the gym.

There’s a great atmosphere in the gym everyone wants to get better. All the coaches are great, there is a lot of knowledge and they are good people.

My son also trains here and has been for 4 years now. He enjoys training here, always enjoys the sessions the coaches put on. There is a real family feeling in the kids classes.

Spacious gym with welcoming staff and coaches.
The coaches really take time to ensure you feel comfortable and confident in your training.
Even if you’re a newbie to Muay Thai (like me) they are super knowledgable and patient.

Highly recommended 😌

Have trainined at multiple gyms around Birmingham for Muay Thai and K1 but Domin8 is by far the best gym. I travel from the other side of Birmingham to train daily. High level fighters training lead from the front by Nathan who is still a competing pro fighter.

I've trained at other gyms in Birmingham and this is the one I decided to pick in the end. Been training here since January this year and everyone is welcoming, the staff/students are friendly. Nathan himself gets involved in classes and trains too and makes an effort to speak to all members- this is an important quality to have in a head coach in my opinion. They also have an easy to use app to book classes and prices are decent. I always look forward to classes every week!
