Alex Bourne – Coventry’s Kickboxing Coach

If you’re looking for a coach who knows both the fight game and how to teach it, Alex Bourne is the name you’ll hear around Coventry. He started training as a teen, won a few local tournaments, and then turned his love for the sport into a career teaching others.

Alex grew up on the streets of Coventry where the gym was his second home. He spent years sparring with tougher opponents, learning what works and what doesn’t. When he finally stepped out of the ring as a competitor, he kept the lessons close and began sharing them with anyone who wanted to improve.

Training Philosophy

Alex believes that kickboxing isn’t just about power – it’s about timing, balance, and confidence. He breaks each session into three parts: warm‑up, technique drills, and sparring. The warm‑up gets the blood flowing with simple jumps, shadow boxing, and stretches. During technique drills he focuses on one move at a time – a jab, a round‑house kick, or footwork – so you can master it before moving on.

What sets Alex apart is his feedback style. He watches you closely, points out the exact moment a punch missed, and shows you a quick fix. He uses everyday language, not fancy gym jargon, so you know exactly what to do. By the end of a class you’ll feel a clear improvement, not just tired.

How to Join Alex’s Sessions

Getting started is easy. Alex runs classes at two locations in Coventry – the city centre gym on St. Mary’s Road and a smaller studio in Coventry’s East End. Classes are open to beginners, intermediate fighters, and advanced athletes. All you need is a pair of gloves, a water bottle, and the willingness to learn.

To sign up, drop by the gym or call the front desk. Alex likes to keep groups small, usually no more than ten people, so you get personal attention. If you’re a complete beginner, he’ll start with basic stance and movement, then build up to combinations. If you already have experience, he’ll tailor drills to sharpen your weaknesses.

Beyond regular classes, Alex offers one‑on‑one coaching for those who want extra focus. These sessions dig deeper into strategy, fight preparation, and mental toughness. Many of his students say the personalized time helped them win local competitions and feel more confident in everyday life.

Alex also runs occasional workshops on topics like “Self‑Defense for Real World Situations” and “How to Cut Weight Safely”. These events are free for his regular members and open to the public for a small fee. They’re a great way to meet other kickboxers and see Alex’s teaching style in action.

Whether you’re chasing a belt, getting fit, or just want a new hobby, Alex Bourne provides a straightforward, supportive environment. His mix of real‑world experience and clear instruction makes his classes popular across all ages. Come for a trial, see how the drills feel, and decide if his approach works for you.

Alex’s goal is simple: help you become the best version of yourself inside and outside the ring. If that sounds like something you want, give his classes a try and feel the difference a good coach can make.
