WEEKLY SPOTLIGHT

Arun age 6
 
Arun started at Rob Locks in September 2023. We had been going to another kung fu club before this but wasn’t really enjoying it there.
 
When he started at Rob Locks he was still very distracted and a little disruptive but over the next few months the improvement in Arun’s attention span and interest in muay Thai was amazing.
 
He has progressed really well and I think this is down to the patience and understanding of Rob and Chloe. He now looks forward to coming every week and even practices at home.

WEEKLY SPOTLIGHT

Christian 
 Muay Thai Student
 
I started at Rob Locks in 2017 aged 10 after watching a session at the Crystal Leisure centre. I thought “I want to do that” and kept pestering my mom to join me up.
 
Fast forward 7 years later and I am now a 1st Dan black grade. Muay Thai has challenged me physically but also mentally. It has taught me determination, discipline and self control. I feel I have become a better person for learning Muay Thai and I’ve made great friends along the way. I am hoping in the future to visit Thailand to do a Muay Thai course to expand my skills.
 
I would recommend training at Rob Locks Academy, the instructors are brilliant and every session is different, it is a great way to learn self defence and get fit!

WEEKLY SPOTLIGHT

Check out Chris’s story, Chris has been with us for 26 years and is a dynamic, motivational coach who is well respected by everybody at the academy:

CHRIS HILL
Muay Thai Instructor

I first started training under Rob in 1998 at the crystal leisure centre.
Starting in Thai Boxing I quickly took a shine to the training and enjoyed how quickly my fitness improved. After a number of years I started training other martial arts including JKD, shoot wrestling and MMA. This gave me the opportunity to enter competitions in both Thai boxing and cage fighting. Over my fight career I have had a number of fights at semi-professional and professional shows with a good level of success.

Since then I have joined the instructor team at the academy as the senior Thai boxing instructor. I have coached many students to black belt level and above. I have had the pleasure of seeing students enter the academy and grow in confidence and skill level.

In the past couple of years I have also gained my 3rd dan black belt which is the highest grade a Thai boxer can achieve and something I am extremely proud of. Thanks to Rob and the instructor team I have always enjoyed going training and now have the opportunity to pass my skills onto others.

Weekly Spotlight

Hi I’m Zoe, manager at Rob Locks Academy, as many of you might already know I started as a receptionist in April 2021. A year later i was working more hours and was promoted to manager which I love.
 
Around December 2022 I started taking an interest in learning the Martial Arts but initially lacked in confidence to join in a lesson.
Instead, i started having weekly private lessons with Rob, learning all about Karate and the coaching aspects, in July 2023 i joined in classes as an Orange Belt and its been an incredible journey already.
 
Here I am 15 months later doing as many classes as I can in the Academy, whilst still having private lessons with Rob at Purple Belt level getting ready to take my Brown Belt and helping out with classes where I can.
