ABOUT ME
My name is Lee Whitfield, and I’m the owner and chief instructor of Bai Lang Kickboxing Academy, which I proudly founded in 2004 at the age of 19. I’ve been deeply involved in Kickboxing and other Martial Arts for over 30 years, competing at the highest levels — from representing Great Britain as an amateur, to earning titles as a Pro, becoming a Pro European
Kickboxing Champion, Pro British K1 Champion, and Pro English Muay Thai Champion. I also hold a 5th Dan black belt and have been honoured with a Hall of Fame award.
My journey into martial arts began over three decades ago as a response to being bullied as a child. Kickboxing became a powerful outlet — helping me build confidence, focus my energy in a positive way, stay healthy, overcome adversity, and develop lifelong skills. These experiences shaped who I am, and they continue to fuel my passion for teaching.
Today, my mission is to share the transformative power of kickboxing with people of all ages and backgrounds, and to positively impact as many lives as possible through our training, values, and community.
OUR MISSION
Over the past two decades, I’ve seen first hand the powerful, life-changing impact martial arts — and especially our programs — can have on people of all ages. Today, more than ever, the need for what we offer is clear. With 1 in 3 children affected by bullying, rising levels of obesity, increasing screen time diminishing focus and physical activity, and mental health challenges on the rise, martial arts is no longer just a sport — it’s a vital tool for life.
At Bai Lang, we believe martial arts should be accessible to everyone. It equips individuals with the confidence, discipline, resilience, and focus needed to overcome life’s challenges. That’s why we’re committed to growing and evolving — with plans to expand across Shropshire and Staffordshire, opening multiple facilities to serve even more communities.
Our mission is to positively impact as many lives as possible, and to ensure Bai Lang continues to thrive for generations. We’re actively developing the next wave of leaders and instructors to carry this vision forward and keep raising the bar long into the future.
OUR CORE VALUES
1. Discipline
Do what needs to be done. We show up, stay committed, and finish what we start — especially when it’s hard. Discipline is the bridge between goals and growth. “Discipline over mood.”
2. Growth Mindset
Get comfortable being uncomfortable. We face challenges with courage. Mistakes are part of learning. We train the mind like we train the body — with effort and belief. “Progress, not perfection.
3. Confidence Through Action
Earn your self-belief. Confidence doesn’t come before effort — it follows it. Every time we show up and try, we build the confidence to keep going. “Confidence is built, not given.”
4. Resilience & Grit
Fall seven times, rise eight. Setbacks are setups for comebacks. We push through discomfort and come back stronger — on the mats and in life. “Tough times make strong people.”
5. Technical Excellence
Master the craft. We care about the details — clean technique, sharp thinking, smart movement. Excellence is the standard, not the exception. “Train with purpose.”
6. Leadership
Lead by example. We build leaders at every level — especially in our junior team. Leadership means taking responsibility, supporting others, and raising the standard. “Be the reason others level up.”
7. Positive Culture & Health
Train hard. Lift others. Live well. We’re here to improve ourselves — and help others do the same. We promote fitness, positivity, and a team-first mindset. “Strong alone, stronger together.”

My son and daughter have been attending for almost 3 years now. They have progressed so much over that time. My daughter absolutely loves it here and attends as many lessons as she can. My son has also upped his lessons, which was a big thing for him. They have both made many friends there and enjoy every second of every lesson. Kickboxing has helped improve their fitness, concentration, and has had a positive impact on their mental wellbeing and social skills. They come out of lessons with a smiles on their faces, also a little sweaty as they work hard. Lee is an amazing teacher/coach, who is always helpful and great with the children.
