Warrior Academy

Story

After returning from training camps across Thailand, Sebastian forms Warrior Thai Boxing an adult Muay Thai club with a focus on competition and performance.

After seeing the huge developments in the teenagers in the class, Sebastian launches “The Warrior Academy” on the 17th May focusing on developing the Character of young people. With a small club in a primary school in rural England.

The Warrior Academy quickly grows to over 200 students across the South West of England.

After reaching 300 students, the Warrior Team grows with Instructors Vicky and Matt joining the team, bringing the UK to 50 clubs with over 1,000 students going through the programme each year.

The Warrior Method written by Sebastian is released and becomes a best selling book. Sebastian is invited to schools in Dubai to teach our 4 Step Methodology to over 2,000 students and TWA Sports Services in Dubai is formed.

The Warrior Academy quickly gains popularity in Dubai, with members including the Royal Family, and in one year grows to over 30 clubs with almost 500 members training each week.

The Warrior team in Dubai expands with Instructors Janelle and Aaron joining our small team of Instructors delivering classes across Dubai.

Warrior Academy opens its first Character Development Centre in the heart of Dubai, teaching over 300 students per week.

“We are looking at the past for ancient solutions to solve our modern problems” – The Warrior Method

We believe there is nothing else out there like martial arts to develop a young person’s Character. Combining modern teaching methods with traditional values and a moral code we have established an excellent methodology which embraces this shift to great effect.
