Gary wants everyone to know that BST Academy is proud to be Northampton's leading MMA gym, offering an array of martial arts disciplines and expert guidance. Whether you're just starting out or have years of experience, there’s something here for you. The gym is open to all, including children and women-only classes.

Situated at Bostock House on Gambrel Road, BST Academy was founded by enthusiastic martial artists aiming to provide affordable prices and a variety of styles for people from all backgrounds and ages. With a space dedicated to 14 different martial arts, there are plenty of opportunities for everyone to learn and achieve in their chosen discipline.

Gary also highlights their free women’s self-defence class. Led by Claire Reilly, this class is designed to help women build confidence and stay safe.

The academy puts a strong emphasis on the younger generation too. They offer eight junior systems and provide financial support to talented young students, helping them reach their full potential in martial arts.

Inclusivity is a core value, emphasised by their support for individuals with disabilities. They are proud to have one of the country’s top MMA fighters with cerebral palsy, showcasing their commitment to making martial arts accessible to all.

BST Academy has a history of producing successful fighters, many of whom are contracted with prominent promotions. Their facilities, such as saunas, steam rooms, and showers, support fighters in their training regimes.

Gary mentions the team of 12 coaches at BST Academy, some of whom are world champions. These coaches are dedicated to teaching and guiding individuals of all levels towards better health, confidence, and social connections.

The academy boasts state-of-the-art facilities, including a 5m fight ring, punching bags, nutritional supplements, and private showers and changing rooms. They take pride in maintaining a welcoming environment for all members.

Gary extends his thanks to all the sponsors and affiliates supporting the academy. For those interested in staying up-to-date, signing up for their newsletter is recommended.
