Best places: Martial arts clubs in Australia

👍👍 Friendly and welcoming place to train. Variety of classes with good instruction at a reasonable price. I came as a visitor and had a good time here - would definitely spend more time if I was in Melbourne permanently!

👍👍 If you're thinking about getting into Jiujitsu and researching schools I'm going to give you 3 simple reasons to look no further. 1. Family - If you become a part of this gym you will inherit a new family. If you're moving house, broken down in your car or even just a bit under the weather these guy...

👍👍 An immersive hands-on class with a great sense of play and exploration. I really enjoyed the friendly and welcoming community as well! Jim is an engaging and real teacher with insights to share from many directions. Whether it is developing physical practice, somatic enrichment or psychological stre...

👍👍 Tried a free class with friends yesterday, the vibe was super friendly. The coaches are professional and skilled. Excited to sign up for membership soon, even though it's a 40-minute drive for me– but will totally be worth it!:)

👍👍 This is one of the best gym in town! Everyone here is very welcoming and friendly so it just makes me feel like I’m apart of an amazing community. Coaches are very good breaking down BJJ techniques so that you can understand at any level. I highly recommend Arte Suave!

🫤 This is the rating for boxing, which is of really mediocre quality. Only around 3 classes a week, overcrowded, and very slow progression (you must spend at least 8 weeks on the bags. what’s the point of not doing technical exercises - not sparring, exercises)? Anyway, besides that the staff is very...

👍👍 A fantastic Martial Arts school. My two boys have recently started classes here in Marrickville and are finding Grand Master Hassan, Master Abdul and Master Martijn very pleasant, disciplined and extremely supportive, especially for beginners, as they encourage autonomy whilst also providing step-by...

👍👍 I’ve been going here with my friend for a couple months now. Always super lovely instructors & very welcoming. The classes are always different and the instructors will take the time to give individual feedback too. Would recommend!

👍👍 Honestly this place is absolutely an incredible place to train, no egos, just hard training and good vibes. The coaching and philosophies the professors give and teach are incredible. The professors and the whole gym are so welcoming. The Gym is super clean and hygienic as well, you see professors c...

👍👍 Highly recommend! I was a total beginner but our friendly instructors guide me very well all the time, every member in the class is supper supportive, too. Love Muay Thai sessions which have flexible options to train with pads or advanced techniques/sparring focused. If you are not sure, there is an...

😠 We’ve been attending the school for over two years not, the staff is always great and caring and my son has been progressing well. Yet I’ve been trying to get in touch with Mike (the owner) for over two months with multiple requests to call me back with absolutely no response and only excuses receiv...

😠 I was really uncomfortable here. I was training to fight at a reputable gym in Mexico this time last year and unfortunately suffered an accident and now suffer from a disability in my hand. With a lot of resilience and determination I returned to training and have been working really hard to adapt t...

👍👍 I’m from Sydney but was passing through Townsville for work. I found this place and saw it has a lot of nogi BJJ classes available. I dropped in un announced and asked if I could train with them. They said “of course!” and were super welcoming. All of the students were very friendly and the coach w...

👍👍 Having never trained in BJJ, it was a pleasant surprise to find that the gym culture was very accommodating to beginners and veterans alike. Liban ensures that you understand the drills being taught and encourages you to apply them in open training sessions. Highly recommend!

👍👍 We highly recommend Smooth Jiu Jitsu Moss Vale for the whole family. Steve is not only a black belt but an amazing coach and 2nd to none in the southern highlands. With many years of training and knowledge to share. Teaching kids about safely, kindness and respect while teaching them how to defend t...

👍👍 One of the best gyms in Australia! Everyone is super welcoming and friendly. From the very first day I came to train I knew that this gym was different. The coach Luke Martin is great at breaking down techniques and explaining them in a very technical but easy to understand way. One of the best coac...

👍👍 I highly recommend SBG. I was quite out of shape and had a little experience in Mauy Thai and was given lots of time and support by the more experienced coaches and fighters. Sessions are well planned out, safety is really considered (including hygeine) and theres a great inclusive positive vibe. De...
