Reviews of Black Widow Martial Arts Academy

Black Widow is one of the best Muay Thai Boxing Gyms so if you're thinking of getting into Thai Boxing, this is the gym for you! The team there are so friendly. The whole time I was there, I felt at home. The trainers are well certified and know they're stuff. The owner of the Academy really does invest in the students and encourages development. This gym is not just about taking your monthly membership; they actually want to see you progress which is lovely.

I would definitely recommend Black Widow Martial Arts Academy. I have been training here and my experience is great with them. They are very professional. The have ladies instructors. My instructor is excellent in her job and in behaviour with her clients. Thanks!

I have had the pleasure of being a member of Black Widow Martial Arts Academy for nearly 3 years now. I cannot recommend this gym enough. I walked into the gym, nearly 3 years ago, with no experience of martial arts. I was greeted by friendly staff and received a free 20 minute lesson showing me the basics. Naqqash was a friendly coach who supported a complete novice like myself. I was excited to join and it is one of the best decisions I could have made in regards to my fitness. I have picked up great skills and techniques from the coaches here, such as Naqqash, Roy, Harrison, Will and Harris, with special mention going to the owner of the gym, Yogi. Yogi is a fantastic teacher who has a real passion for teaching the younger generation. His lessons, like the other trainers in the gym, are fantastic. I have even had Black Widow visiting the school I work at and training the younger generation. I have seen some reviewers complaining about 'hidden charges.' I would say that this is ridiculous as everything regarding extra charges has been upfront with me from the start. The gym put no pressure in getting you to grade as they know it's your own choice. They will still ensure that they teach the same curriculum to all students, irrespective if you are grading or not. I have also seen reviewers complaining about the uniform charges. Again, this is ridiculous. When I joined the gym, I was made aware that I could buy the same kit elsewhere at a cheaper price. I decided to buy from Black Widow and it was a great decision as none of the boxing gloves or shin pads have shown wear and tear, even after going to the gym around 3 times a week for 3 years. I definitely think Black Widow is value for money. You will learn a martial art that you could use if you ever need to, get fit and make good friends along the way.

Whether you’re looking to drop a few pounds, or become a professional fighter, this gym offers something for everyone. There’s always a lovely atmosphere at this gym, unlike other gyms I have trained in, and a real sense of camaraderie. What I really value, from this gym, is their ability to recognise talent, particularly in the youngsters, and really nurture that talent. This gym has really stepped up, during COVID, and have gone above and beyond to ensure the safety of not only their members but also their staff. If you’re in and around the Midlands I’d 100% recommend checking this place out.

V. H.

Great gym with fantastic coaches to help every level. The gym caters to all ages and skill levels! The head coach, Yogi, brings a wealth of knowledge and experience in training first class fighters. Naqqash is definitely one of most humble and highly skilled Muay Thai coaches around as well. Highly recommend this gym for anyone wanting to learn Muay Thai, fitness and discipline!

P. V.

If your fitness goals are to lose weight, maintain fitness levels or progress in Martial Art’s Black Widow can accommodate all. Plenty of equipment to accommodate weight training, body weight exercises, circuit work and all round bag/pad work. The staff are highly knowledgeable and can help with all fitness related questions. I would highly recommend this place to anyone, regardless if you’re a beginner or expert

F. F.

Professional, passionate Team run by an awesome Master Trainer who has dedicated his time to building not only a Muay Thai Gym, established competitors and masses of participants but a Community. Past present and future members all benefit from the expertise and commitment. A brilliant addition to the area and to the Muay Thai wider network. Highly recommended.

K. D.

I had a great experience at this gym and would highly recommend it. The trainers are professional, patient and supportive. Sessions are fun but helped me to learn and develop my skills at the same time. All the people I met through training were warm and friendly. An outstanding gym with outstanding service!

K. P.

The best gym of this type in the midlands. Yogi and his staff are great - always willing to help and guide your development. But first and foremost, they are good people. There is a great feeling of togetherness in the gym and that makes it easy to fit in, especially for newcomers. It's great for kids and adults. I couldn't recommend it more!

A. R.

I joined the gym with the intention of learning Muay Thai, however I saw the gym offers much more. There is a wide range of classes suitable for everyone whether you're a beginner or a fighter. The classes are delivered with top quality, pushing you beyond your limit. There's a variety of people and we are all treated equally and with respect in an atmosphere that's friendly as well as motivating, which is perfect for the gym. The staff are brilliant, giving you the support needed to reach your goals and boost your confidence. I highly recommend this gym it's fantastic!

N. S.

Excellent gym great staff, great for all aspects as well as world class muay thai being taught it offers so much more I'd highly recommend it to you if you are someone who wants to start their martial arts journey or whatever other reason.

Black widow Martial Arts Academy is situated in Ward End a stones throw from the fox and goose Public House. Getting to and from the academy is very easy with ampful of buses serving the area with plentiful parking. The main entrance is situated at the side of Twyford Road. On arriving at the Academy you are greeted with a set of stairs leading up to the academy with a fantasic array of pictures of academy members and staff. on entering the door at the top of the stairs entering the Academy you are immiediately hit with an impressive array ofwinners belts displayed around the large gym giving a sense of pride of its achievements . i was pleasently surprised at the size of the academy with the whole floor covered in mats with suspended kick and punch bags spread evenly around the spacious gym with an area tucked at the side containing a decent size ring and weight training area The academy uses a swipe card system for members when entering the gym. Membership is very surpisingly affordable compared to other gyms and signing up is simple, speak to reception and they will set you on your way with little fuss. you can Also purchase all the equipment you need at the gym for a reasonable price at the reception area. Black Widow have Several excellent instructors so students do not necessarily train with the same instructor at each hourly session, new students are made to feel welcome and tend to settle in very quickly instructors also work on fitness discipline with a variety of different classes including beginners, juniors ladies and mixed, time slots are offered throughout the day to cater for these sessions.

R. K.

Highly recommend this gym! It is a really positive environment where all ages genders and backgrounds are made to feel welcome as soon as you walk through the door. They have a range of classes for beginners who are completely new to Muay Thai to fighter classes for those who want to compete in the UK or even abroad. The coaches are top notch, particularly Yogi and Naqqash and offer one to one sessions if that's your thing or you want to be challenged. My only negative is that they don't have branch of their gym in Leicester!

K. B.

Brilliant friendly gym. The instructors are both professional and highly skilled in what they teach. This gym feels safe and is very clean, brilliant for children or adults to learn a new skill! Keep up the good work!!

Y. H.

This gym deserves 6 stars, I initially went to another gym and was put in the deep end with no experience. I then went to BlackWidow, I was welcomed and given fantastic training and advice. Definitely one of the best gyms in Birmingham

D. F.

Black widow delivers top quality martial arts instruction and teaching, with dedicated and experienced coaches. It is truly a one of a Kind learning experience I would encourage people would like to learn self defense or just train to become fitter to go for a trial at black widow academy. 👍🏿

This is a great gym with a friendly atmosphere. The instructors are brilliant with kids. Love seeing my son's progress and gain in confidence here. Worth every penny.

Fantastic gym . I Joined 4 years ago to keep fit and to help improve my 9 year old sons confidence..... 4 years later he has won multiple championship belts but most importantly has grown in confidence and excelled in his social skills which all has a knock effect to his education and life in general. I also lost 2 stone within first 6 months ; )

V. H.

Great gym facilities with a fantastic roster of instructors and teaching staff. Great place for learning Muay Thai and/or Jiu Jitsu with a very welcoming atmosphere that caters for all ages and levels (also female friendly!). Highly recommended!

I've been a member for about 9 years, you'd think I'd have got bored by now, but no way. Expert tuition, friendly students and a great atmosphere. This gym has turned me from a normal, overweight guy, into a national champion. Book in for an intro as soon as you can, I was hooked from day one.

F. J.

The team are great teachers, friendly and welcoming. I really enjoy the sessions, they are tough but I can see improvement and feel a lot more confident.

F. V.

Excellent communication at the gym with the lady instructor Bushra and excellent teaching capabilities keeps all the ladies in check but it does feel like the gym itself could do with an update with regards to facilities within the gym and more sociable lessons hours for the girls as it does feel like the girls times are being put at 2nd position. Otherwise very happy, keep up the good work bushra

F. A.

One of the best martial arts gyms around, offering both MMA and muay thai classes for all levels, top instructors and very friendly atmosphere
