Welcome to Birmingham’s Elite
Alex Vorfi
As the Founder and Chief Instructor of The Eagle Kickboxing Academy, I specialise in K-1 Kickboxing, Muay Thai/Thai boxing, self-defence and overall fitness.
My journey in martial arts began at a young age, sparked by my fascination with Bruce Lee films and the legendary boxing matches of Joe Frazer, a favourite of my father’s. I spent countless hours honing my skills at home, creating makeshift punch bags made out of refuse bags filled with sand, which fuelled my determination and bolstered my confidence. I then took the leap to join an amateur boxing gym, where my passion truly began to flourish.
My enthusiasm expanded beyond boxing into karate, taekwondo and jujitsu, ultimately leading me to discover my passion for k-1 kickboxing. I have many years’ experience of amateur and pro k-1 kickboxing and Thai boxing fights. Additionally, I have also trained at some of the top training camps in Holland. I hold a second-degree black belt, and a two times’ black belt, recognised by the WPKA and ISKA. I have previously served as the WFMC K-1 Kickboxing National Coach and WFMC K-1, Muay Thai/Thai boxing and low kick official referee. I have completed First Aid and Safeguarding Protecting Children training, and am DBS checked and possess indemnity insurance.

This place has changed my life taking me from a homebody to someone who enjoyed going out and training. It’s a fun environment and a very friendly one. No one will judge you and you’re going to learn to be able to defend yourself and strengthen your mental and physical challenges. I recommend this place as I’ve been to multiple but no gym is as suitable as this one.

Oss! 👊🏽🥊
Training at The Eagle Kickboxing Academy has been a total game changer for me. Since I started with Coach Alex Vorfi and his team, I’ve picked up skills way faster than I ever expected, and honestly, I’m in the best shape I’ve been in the last 30 years!
They’ve got the perfect mix of cardio conditioning and technique, and the sparring sessions are a blast. It’s not just about the workout though—my mind, body, and soul have never felt better.
If you’re in Birmingham and want to become a real fighter and the best version of this is where you need to be!

Honestly hands down the best 1-1 boxing sessions. Alex is a humble and down to earth guy with a lot of knowledge, he will pretty much tell you like it is so that you can do better and challenge yourself every session. Learnt so much during his sessions and definitely felt physically fitter afterwards. 100% Recommend. 💪🏽🥊
