Combat Solutions

Fantastic local kickboxing club which incorporate a blend of technique based pad work with a strong emphasise on conditioning and general fitness. Classes are regular, with each session having options tailored depending on your level of experience. The club also has a lively social calendar which runs in tandem with the classes. Have been attending for years and highly recommend this to anyone looking for a new class in Edinburgh!

This club is the best you can find in Edinburgh for combat fitness and the incredible social environment!Craig, the coach, is very professional but also super friendly, as all members. He makes sure that people from everywhere in the world and from every fitness level feels welcome while providing suitable fitness challenges for all levels!

Is Kickboxing For Everyone? I think that my short answer is- YES. No matter your fitness level, kickboxing is fantastic. But of course at the same time as fitness it is still being lots of fun. Besides our classes, we have lots of social events. I believe that kickboxing can be learned at any fitness level if you've got a good instructor. In our case we have Craig, who is always well prepared and ready to help and support. Combat Solutions is a place to get incredible energy and meet lots of new people and make friends. Absolutely wonderful and it is almost 1 year since my first class.

Great Club and Great Instructor!I was new in Edinburgh and fairly new to combat sports, particularly kicking. My cardio and flexibility were poor from years in lockdown.Craig’s classes helped me get my cardio higher than it’s ever been and my flexibility has improved greatly. His classes are very much for all levels but pushing yourself is always encouraged.He’s also helped me develop my striking by teaching effective combos and defensive moves, including feints, catches and footwork.The classes are full of very friendly people who have welcomed me with open arms and now form a large part of my core friend group.Whether you’re new to fitness, lead a very active lifestyle, or looking to make friends in a very diverse and international setting, this is the place for you!

I’ve been doing 1-on-1 private boxing sessions with Craig for over a year now and it’s been the best PT experience I’ve had so far (there’s been a few). Great communication, and have genuinely learned so much. Really pays attention to areas that need improvement and comes back with new ways of overcoming them. Would 100% recommend to anyone trying to improve their skills in a specific fighting style.

Fantastic training and amazing people. Craig, the instructor, achieves a good balance between fitness and technique, and no two classes are the same as he loves mixing it up. Membership is super cheap too!Besides the classes themselves, Craig organizes a lot of social events which are a great way to meet amazing people.

I've been training with Craig for the last month and have nothing but good things to say about Combat Solutions. Having had some wobbly experiences with martial arts classes in the past, I wanted to learn directly from an experienced coach this time around, and Craig has been a fantastic teacher.He's good at taking things slowly to help a student find their feet, then exploring where they want to go. As someone who likes to be challenged, I'm finding that really rewarding, and feel like I'm learning quickly and becoming more confident with the movements. I haven't joined in any group sessions yet, but everything I've seen about CS as a group has looked super inviting and friendly, so I'll definitely be sticking with this for the long term. Combat Solutions gets a big recommendation from me.

I've been in attendance since long before the pandemic and I could never stop. I love every minute of the class and I can feel constant progress that I make. I recommend combat solutions to anyone who would like to get fit, have fun and be able to protect themselves all at once! Craig is great and the support of people in class is amazing.

Best coach I’ve had. Attention to detail is amazing, the fun VS skill VS fitness levels are on point, and the response / sincere care for everyone who attends is greatly appreciated by all. Would recommend to anyone.

In January 2020 i was looking into attending a boxing class and stumbled onto Comabt Solution,I’m really happy i choose to attend Kickboxing instead, Even though i still have a while to go for my goal, im sitting at the fittest/ lighest/ healthiest i’ve been in a few years and owe that to Combat Solution.Aswell as becoming Fitter, my flexabilty is greatly increased and this has helped with back pain i’ve had for year. The Instructor Craig is one of the friendliest people you’ll meet, he encourages/ pushes you to keep doing better and makes sure there is a good social aspect as to make friends through the club.
