Training in Highgate

Fight gyms close to the city centre.

If you want to learn to fight, Highgate packs a lot into a few streets. Gracie Barra Birmingham teaches Brazilian jiu-jitsu, K-Star Thai Boxing Academy covers Muay Thai, and WBC Womens Boxing Club, Aero-kick and Coach Abreu all share one B5 7HP address. Forward Drive Cricket Academy is the busiest venue on the list, and Yin Yang and digbox add more independent training.

Highgate Park, opposite the old Victorian houses, is the local green space for a warm-up jog or skipping outside. Combat sports reward a regular partner more than most: someone your size to drill with makes every class count.
