"After starting Karate classes at the MMA I have become a fitter, happier person who is more alert and confident. I have met friendly people and learnt new skills. I feel a sense of accomplishment when I participate in a class and leave the Dojo ready to take on the world."

Jodi McCabe, IT Analyst, DHS Department of Human

"After kickboxing for 6 months or so at my previous club I was looking for a new start at a Centre that would provide consistency, commitment and encouragement, give me endurance, practical fight skills and offer a good friendly environment. I found all this in at MMA when I joined the Titans Kickboxing.
I've gotten so much more than what I expected from one place. Not just alone is there commitment from the instructors but a great deal of friendship too.

I highly recommend Melbourne Martial Arts Academy as a place to train hard and make great friends."

Simon van der Strap, Actor, Lion King

"I was fortunate enough to come across MMA when I arrived to Melbourne, despite the fact that this training centre had already been highly recommended. Having trained in various disciplines for many years, I have yet to come across a gym / dojo that offers so much AND delivers. Such a comprehensive and eclectic training opportunity is so rare these days and I joined without hesitation. I am VERY happy I did.

As a performer, it's important to stay fit. That's why I joined - just to stay fit. What I didn't expect was to be the fittest I have ever been and hungry to keep going.
After being warmly welcomed, I discovered that the instructors are at the absolute top of their game. Other training centres can be a little bit intimidating if one is a beginner or newcomer. Not this place. All the instructors are friendly, welcoming and enormously encouraging. The classes and especially the personal training are second to none."

Jenny Rodgers, Student

"I urge anyone who is looking for a training alternative that will get them fit (really fit) and to meet a whole bunch of friendly, motivated people to check this place out as soon as possible. You won't be sorry.

When I first started doing Boxing around a half year ago I was completely out of shape and could barely complete the warm up. Through careful, patient and intense instruction, I not only now consider myself physically in shape but have gained insight into a fascinating combat sport in the process. My whole body has changed; I feel strong and confident. I recommend boxing to everyone who's looking for a workout that is not only intense but practical."

Dwayne Harris, Personal Trainer, Nextgen

"As a fitness instructor myself, I have found that Karate offers an array of dynamic exercises to increase your strength, agility and conditioning. Some polymeric exercises are also incorporated, vital in maintaining and increasing your muscle strength, quickness and flexibility. With each session you will also appreciate the great cardio workout you achieve. Karate offers a disciplined approach that teaches the form and knowledge involved in learning a Martial Art. The ability to progress from white belt though to black is a great confidence builder and has offered me a great sense of accomplishment."
