Total Combat Academy

What a day at the Leicester Grappling Series Summer Open! 🥋🔥

We took a team of 9 competitors to the mats today, and 7 of them came home with medals — an incredible effort from everyone who stepped up and represented the team.

🥇 3 Gold
🥈 2 Silver
🥉 2 Bronze

That's a total of 7 medals from 9 competitors and a fantastic reflection of the hard work, consistency, and commitment shown in training every week.

Win, lose, or draw, we're proud of every athlete who competed today. The courage to test yourself under pressure is what competition is all about, and our team showed that in abundance.

A huge thank you to the coaches, training partners, supporters, and families who continue to help make days like this possible.

Back to the academy next week with plenty to build on. Congratulations to all our competitors! 👏💪

From doing what we love most on Saturday to then attending the Haus of Respect event by on the Sunday, Coach Harcus and Tiago Cabral had the pleasure to network with an array of inspirational people that have endured DV or are ones that can lead the change in reducing DV and raising awareness about how to combat the seriousness and different forms of DV which isn't always physical.

We also met the winner of Big Brother 2005 at the event whom we had the pleasure of having a good chat with before his inspiring keynote speech. Loved his approach and the importance of never giving up, check out his project called "Never Throw in the Towel" tackling mental health amongst men.

Following our Open Day on the 25th, we’ve had an unreal turnout of friends, family, and both new and familiar faces through the doors of the new site — and the vibes have been ELECTRIC ⚡️

A busy one last night! The new grappling room dedicated to our BJJ classes is already proving to be a great addition to the new academy. 40mm padded flooring and 25mm padded walls!

More details to follow...

2 for 2 wins on Ring Wars 19 hosted by and and what a show it was, the atmosphere was electric and the fights were exciting with many left on the edge of their seats!

always brings an exciting fight, a true testament to how he trains, head down and focused. In his second K-1 bout, George has improved in many areas and stunned his opponent a number of times and I truly felt he could have got the finish but he decided to fight smart and came away with the UD knowing he was dominating from the start.

made his junior K-1 debut fight (yes junior, the kid is only 16 but was one of the tallest in the building!). He was a bundle of nerves in the back when preparing him, but he took his time and focused on his breathing, composed himself and executed the game plan almost to perfection, made a few errors but we know this is part of the process. Regardless, Ash came away with a 1st round TKO on his debut and was stunned that he had that much power. Have confidence in what I tell you kid, I've always said you pack a punch and you certainly did so on the night!

Well, it's been 10 years since we took over and we have grown in many aspects, as a team, as a business and most importantly as a family.

Over the past 2 months the work has been happening behind the scenes and we were anticipating an open day on the 4th May, however, we are not quite ready to show everyone the final product.

That being said classes will recommence on the 5th May whilst the outstanding work gets completed.

Stay tuned as we will update you all on an open day where we will be inviting friends, family and new faces to check out the amazing new home of TCA!

A huge shout-out to the man who can, Harvi .works.tradesman he has put in relentless time, effort and expertise so far and we couldn't have done it without him.

Also to the ring and mats/padded walls are amazing. Highly recommended to anyone looking to do a new fit/facelift.

Upcoming shows!

And that's a wrap, we are done with Interclubs and shows for this side of the year.

But don't get it twisted, the work will continue during the Christmas break.

A big thank you to for arranging another great Interclub

A few of the lads will be moving on from Interclubs and competitive bouts in 2026.

We are always thriving to ensure we have everything needed on site and prepared for worst case scenarios.

Recently we purchased a Fully Automatic Defibrillator.

Although no training is required, we will be looking at arranging a brief session for anyone that would like to attend with Dr Thomas Rickaby.

Dates will be shared soon!
