Handing your child over to a new coach is a big decision. These are the reasons parents across Northwood and Southall trust us with theirs — in our words, and in theirs.
“Every child is recognised and part of the Diamond Kickboxing Family.”
Mariam — parent of Tamara & Jonah, Southall
Every coach is DBS-checked, first-aid trained and holds up-to-date safeguarding qualifications. Sessions are structured, supervised and designed to challenge your child without risking injury — so you can relax when you hand them over to us.
Your child learns from Head Coach Sam Welch — a 5th Degree Black Belt with 22 years of competitive experience across kickboxing, BJJ and MMA — not a coach who's only ever read the textbook. He still teaches our youngest classes himself.
We coach the child, not just the technique. Our coaches pay close attention to each individual, adapt to their needs, and work with you as parents to make sure your child's strengths are celebrated — never lost in a crowded room.
Every new technique mastered is a real win. We help children believe in themselves through genuine achievement, building the kind of confidence that shows up in the classroom, with friends, and at home — far beyond the mat.
Respect, discipline, resilience, focus. Parents tell us again and again that the character their children build at Diamond is what they value most — lessons that carry straight into everyday life.
From the very first session, Sam builds a rapport with every family so you feel welcome and supported. Our Northwood and Southall parents genuinely know each other, and so do their children.
Our parents don't just see better kicks. They watch their children grow in confidence, respect and focus — qualities that show up in the classroom, at the dinner table and everywhere in between.

“It has built their confidence no end, taught them to respect others, and given them skills to keep themselves safe. They get so excited for every class and are so proud to be working towards their next belts.”
Parent of Tomas & Daniel — Northwood
“Sam hasn't just taught my 9-year-old daughter the physical skills of the sport; he has also built her confidence. What I appreciate most is how he inspires his students to apply the discipline, hard work, and focus of kickboxing to everyday life.”
Parent of Jessie — Northwood
“My children have grown so much — besides moving from belt to belt, in their confidence, their discipline and their self-belief. It is so clear that Sam puts so much thought and passion into every class he teaches.”
Parent of Tamara & Jonah — Southall
“His personable approach makes sessions enjoyable and myself and the kids always look forward to our sessions with him. He's personally invested in the success of those he trains — for us he's family!”
