Primal Combat Academy was built with one goal: to offer a space where people could train real martial arts, with real coaches, in a structured and supportive environment. We’re proud to serve Clacton-on-Sea and the surrounding areas with a facility that welcomes first-timers, serious athletes, and everyone in between.
We started with a small group of dedicated coaches and have grown into a full academy, offering classes across multiple disciplines — including Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Kickboxing, Muay Thai, MMA, and Submission Wrestling.
We’re not a chain gym or a casual fitness club. We’re a martial arts academy run by people who live and breathe this lifestyle. Our team brings together high-level experience across multiple disciplines, with coaches who have competed, coached, and mentored at every level.
We’re proudly affiliated with:
Perago Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu A BJJ team focused on technical development and competition readiness.
