Cortex Training Academy

Sina & the team are fantastic! The best gym in Sydney. To improve all aspects of your martial arts!
Top tier teachers. & Facilities are top notch. Always clean!
The crew are really friendly. You feel like home straight away.

I signed up to Cortex late 2021 and loved it straight away. Particularly the BJJ classes were excellent with Paul & Sina. Unfortunately due to some pre-existing injuries I needed to stop training. Cortex we’re very understanding allowing me to place my membership on hold multiple times during my recover and ultimately allowed me to cancel within my contract with no hassle. Much appreciated and hope that in the future once fully healed I can come back.

Excellent classes, great bunch of guys to train with, and world class coaching. Always nice herbal tea brewing away to rehydrate after a hard training session - two thumbs up!

Great community feel, good size classes, great coaches. All the things you need from a good gym.

This really is a great gym. The coaches are really professional and clearly know their stuff. The gym itself is really clean with good quality and new equipment plus a great atmosphere. Recommend!

Fantastic facilities, great coaches, friendly staff. Whether your looking to hone your martial art skill or learn a new one or just get a good workout. Cortex MMA can provide all of the above with in a safe and friendly environment based on a culture of respect?

Excellent gym, super clean, heaps of space, all the instructors are top notch. One of a kind in Sydney.

MMA Gym without the aggro aspect some gyms can foster. People are just there to learn and get fit.

If you are keen and exuberant to learn the new age style of Jiu-Jitsu, Cortex MMA has the right coach for you in Paul Smibert. Paul has invested his life in Jiu-Jitsu, from having privates with John Danaher and his brown belts to face-to-face instructional from notable other Australian Jiu-Jitsu athletes. He teaches systemically and uses drilling mechanically rather than a forced robotic like most Jiu-Jitsu gyms in Sydney. Paul tends to prep his students from the foundational steps to the more advanced methods gradually. He is one of the only coaches in Sydney that uses leg entanglements and an ashi garami system. The gym also has good facilities for a hobbyist or competitor to train in. The gym has notable wrestling coaches that can cater for anyone in the no-gi Jiu-Jitsu atmosphere. Tehran high school wrestling champions can enjoy the grind at Cortex as well. It is a very multi-cultural gym for a martial artist seeking a safe place.

Excellent facility and such a welcoming atmosphere with no egos in the gym I trialled more than enough gyms within the city for Muay Thai and this was by far the best - knowledgeable and friendly trainers that cared about your learning and fitness progression. Well done guys

This is one of the best gyms I've trained in Sydney! Super friendly staff, excellent martial arts coaches and yoga teachers. I also love the meditation and tibetian singing bowls sessions.:)

This is a GREAT concept of training GYM! Very professional and Hospitable. The trainers are very knowledgeable as well.
Hot Yoga, MuayThai, Strength and conditioning, Yoga and Tibetan Singing bowl!

I have been training here for over a year and can say it’s one of the best MMA gyms around. Coaches are great, facilities are modern and clean and all classes offered are of the highest standards. Highly recommended.

Top MMA gym in Sydney!
The best of all is the friendly/family atmosphere.
Its accessible to all levels of training, from begginer to advanced, and got all the different trainings in one place: Weight lifting, MMA, MuayThai, Jiu jitsu and also Yoga. Every classes are taught by the best coaches in the business.

My girlfriend and I really enjoy this place.
Strongly recommend it!
And they offer 1 week free trial

Best MMA gym in sydney. Friendly environment. Highest level of grappling, they have jiu jitsu no gi and wrestling

Clean and friendly 'MMA' gym that offers strength and conditioning and hot yoga, along with with its striking and grappling classes. The instructors in the MMA classes explain each technique thoroughly and give you their attention to make sure you are doing them correctly, they also provide practical advice about its uses. You can tell that the coaches are interested in what they are teaching you as they will engage in conversations with you about the theory behind each technique.
While the openness of the gym originally intimidated me a little bit, the friendly vibes in all the classes quickly turned that around.

Love this place! The group classes are fun and the trainers are amazing They really stepped up their game during COVID. Best MMA classes and top training! I started in group but am now doing one on one and couldn’t be happier

Excellent coaching staff and extremely professional.

Highly recommended if you are into Martials Arts and Yoga.

Such a nice place to exercise yourself! Would love to mention their instructors are 100% qualified and paying attention individually, My favourite classes are strength and conditioning and of course hot yoga; they have a very dynamic way to teach, equipments and spaces are awesome! 100% recommended!

Really nice facilities. Big Yoga room and plenty of mat space for grapplers. Highly recommended
