Black Diamond Thai Boxing Academy

🔥 We knew our new 6-Week Beginner Muay Thai Programme would be popular…

…but we didn’t expect it to reach 50% full in just 5 days!!!

A huge thank you to everyone who has signed up so far. It’s brilliant to see so many people finally taking that first step.

This course was designed for complete beginners. No experience needed. No pressure. Just a supportive group of people all starting the same journey together.

If you’ve been thinking about giving Muay Thai a go but haven’t quite found the confidence to take that first step, this is exactly what the course was created for.

📅 Starts: 23rd July
🕣 8:30pm
📍 Black Diamond Academy
💷 £40 for the full 6-week programme

Places are limited, and with half already booked, we’d recommend securing your place soon.

Drop us a message if you’d like to join us, we’d love to welcome you to the Black Diamond family.

WRECKING BALL: LOAD TEST COMPLETE

As part of today’s gym upgrades, we needed to make sure the new punch bag hanging system was safe and secure.

Rather than wasting time with calculations, engineering reports and load certificates, we deployed our most advanced testing method…

Logan

After a thorough inspection and several minutes of questionable decision-making, we’re pleased to confirm the system passed the “Wrecking Ball Test” with flying colours.

No coaches were harmed.
No ceilings collapsed.
No insurance claims were required.

Just great teamwork, plenty of laughs and another step towards making Black Diamond an even better place to train.

Miley Cyrus has yet to comment on the copyright infringement.

Reminder that the gym is closed today and tomorrow for gym upgrades 😀

REMINDER!

Gym is closed this weekend so we can crack on with gym upgrades!

Thanks for the support!

💎🥊 THIS IS WHY WE DO IT. 🥊💎

We love a day with wins.

Not because of the medals, the photos or getting our hands raised.

Because wins are the reward for all the hard work that happens long before fight day.

Today, we took two juniors to the Proper Fights show in Kilmarnock.

🥊 Marshall Ahmed stepped into the ring, performed well and showed exactly what he’s been working on in the gym. Calm, composed and determined from start to finish, he earned himself a well-deserved victory.

🥊 Anayah Croft faced a strong opponent who never stopped coming forward. Sticking to the game plan from start to finish, she showed great composure, skill and maturity beyond her years to secure an excellent win.

✅ Marshall Ahmed – WIN
✅ Anayah Croft – WIN

2 fights. 2 wins.

As coaches, these are the days we enjoy most.

Seeing young athletes take everything they’ve learned in training and put it into practice under pressure.

Seeing their confidence grow.

Seeing the hard work pay off.

A huge thank you to the parents, coaches and teammates who continue to support these young athletes every step of the way.

Today belonged to Marshall and Anayah.

Be proud of yourselves. We certainly are.

🖤💎

FIGHT DAY TOMORROW!

Tomorrow, two of our juniors step through the ropes to represent Black Diamond at the Proper Fights Junior Show in Kilmarnock.

🥊 Anayah Croft
🥊 Marshall Ahmed

Both have put in the work week after week, turning up, learning, improving and earning the opportunity to test themselves against new opponents.

For many people, stepping into a ring is unthinkable. For these young athletes, it’s a chance to showcase the hard work, discipline and courage they’ve developed through training.

We’re super proud of them for having the confidence to step forward and compete.

A huge thank you to all of our coaches, training partners, sponsors and parents who help make opportunities like this possible.

Let’s get behind Anayah and Marshall and wish them the very best for tomorrow! 👊💎
