Radojunkie Combat Academy

Radojunkie Combat Academy in London was founded in 2022 by Andre Simon, whose experience as both a professional fighter and a mentor for vulnerable youth shaped the academy’s mission. The project began with just two young people training in Victoria Park and has grown rapidly, now reaching over 300 young people across Tower Hamlets and supporting a regular group of more than 50 participants. The team has expanded to include three coaches and three volunteers, all dedicated to making martial arts accessible to the local community. The academy’s focus is on Muay Thai, kickboxing, and boxing, with classes designed for a wide range of ages starting from four years old. Programmes are structured to support both young people and adults, with a particular emphasis on building self-esteem, discipline, and emotional resilience. Youth sessions are a mainstay, held at community spaces like St Paul’s Church and through afterschool clubs, while women’s only classes provide a supportive and empowering training environment. Radojunkie also partners with schools and community organisations to deliver term-time self-defence and life skills workshops for teenagers. Beyond regular classes, Radojunkie Combat Academy runs summer camps, half-term camps, and pop-up workshops in local green spaces, strengthening community ties and encouraging positive lifestyle habits. The academy’s approach goes beyond technical training, aiming to foster unity, confidence, and leadership in its members. This commitment is visible in its continuing partnerships with schools and local authorities, and in its vision to make martial arts a resource for personal and community development in London.
