Courage Training Centre

Couldn't recommend this place more! What a beautiful community
It's my home away from home ;)

Awesome to see the academy in person. Rad group of people, all were super welcoming.
Loved the experience

Courage is a play ground! It has everything you could ever want from a gym. Heaps of space, heaps of classes and lots of conditioning equipment. Ian and the coaches are so helpful and froth what they do. I did bjj and loved training there. Would defs recommend:)

Friendly and welcoming atmosphere. The kids classes are amazing, it has given my shy 6 year old self confidence and a bunch of new friends. The coaches and equipment are second to none. No matter what your goal is, to just lose some weight, go on all the way to becoming a pro fighter or anything in between the team at Courage can help you achieve your goals.

Both my kids trained here for two years. If you’re into participation medals and showing up certificates then this is not the place for you. But if you want a place where your kids will learn the importance of discipline, persistence, and positive social interaction then you’ll battle to do better.

One of the best mma / BJJ gyms out there. Very professional coaches who set a high standard and provide genuine support and development along with a welcoming and encouraging environment.

This centre has totally benefited both my daughters with their confidence and discipline.
They love training at Courage and all the coaches are extremely supportive and very professional.
Thanks to all at the gym, fantastic family environment for all levels of experience.

Although I've only been training here for about two months now, I can't express how much this club and the people here have had a positive impact in my life.

From the coaches, Ian, Jack, Joseph, the staff Karen and Linda, to every member training here, I immediately felt welcomed and supported since day one, stepping onto the mat (with no prior experience in any martial arts or self defence at 23).

Their embrace and love for BJJ fuelled my drive to pursue this art to the best of my ability, motivating me to come in and train as much as possible. The learning environment always feels safe, something I greatly appreciate as no one wants to get injured.

I'm truly thankful for CTC and to have taken this leap of faith and signing up, being part of this community has given me a lot to look forward too outside of university life, I find myself always yearning for the next roll!

See you on the mats!

CTC has helped me greatly on my fitness journey. The Martial Arts expertise at CTC is great. Lots of group activities which provide a positive training environment. A fantastic centre to be part of.

I dropped in for a roll while on holiday. It was a great class and I felt very welcome. As a woman dropping into gyms can be a little intimidating and you never know of reception you will get. I had fun with the only other girl there, and then had some great rolls with the men. Wound recommend for anyone, weather dropping in, cross training or wanting to learn BJJ

Very friendly coaching staff that know everyone by name! Clean showers and toilets, clean matts, massive fans providing a cool breeze while training. All around great place to learn some martial arts!

Courage Training Centre is not like your average gyms. This centre is something else entirely. I’ve trained here for nearly six years now and I truly wouldn’t train anywhere else. The second you step in the door you’re made to feel welcome and if you stick around long enough you’re made to feel like family. For anyone wanted to try martial arts or fitness or both, walk in the door. I promise you won’t regret it.

Such a awesome place to train, the kids classes are second to none with the staff making you feel like a part of their family it feels like a second home

Both my kids were training at Courage and I use to watch them from the sidelines having a great time and learning new skills. I thought I could use my time better and decided to join as well. It’s a no nonsense gym with very supportive coaching staff who have help me gain new skills, lose 7 kg, improve my fitness, improve my cognitive skills whilst under pressure and have fun along the way. I’ve made new friends in the Courage community who also provide encouragement and assistance along the journey to being better. It’s a great place to train.

Fantastic facilities with coaching that is second to none. The timetable is so stacked full of classes you can train every day regardless of your schedule. There’s a whole community of amazing people inside dedicated to self improvement with decades of combined experience in combat sports. The place to train regardless of your skill level.

If your looking for the best MMA/ BJJ/ Muay Thai gym in Townsville look no further than Courage Training Centre. I trained at Courage for nearly year and sad to leave due to moving away from Townsville. The owner, Ian Bone has vast MMA ring experience, the man has been there and done that in the MMA world in Australia. His coaches- Joey, Jack and Steve are also highly experienced in their area of expertise. Once you start training you'll be welcomed and embraced by the friendly community that exists at Courage. I found all members are always keen to help and encourage new students. I was amazed of how everyone seem to know my name after a couple of sessions. The sessions are intensive but rewarding and after a couple of months I felt more than confident to do some hard sparring on the Saturday sparring sessions. Saturday's soon became my favourite day of the week, due to the comradeship. Courage Training Centre caters for all levels, from the raw beginner to pro-fighters. It's truely a family-like environment with everyone getting behind and supporting team mates when they have a fight or event. Often BBQs are held at the club to watch events or celebrate events. In-club tournaments were a great chance to come together and to test your skills against your mates. The Centre is multi facet, with a large amount of classes for children in both stand-up fighting and Brazilian Jiujitsu, the adults Muay Thai/ boxing sessions are always filled with a great bunch of people. The BJJ at Courage is second to none in Townsville with many participants, and also with a large amount of females on the mats. I was always surprised at their dedication and abilities in a male dominated sport. For me, the best part of Courage was the amount of classes at varying times. No matter what the schedule I could always find a class to train in. This is would be a great asset to a shift workers or people working unusual times. I wish that I could find a gym half as good as Courage Training Centre. It really is special.

Very well organised mixed martial arts centre love going there all the coach's have a bunch of knowledge to share and a good learning place

Great gym for those just starting out and those looking to take their skills to the next level. The coaches and staff are supportive and care more about your goals then you do.

Great place to train. Knowledgeable instructors that are approachable. Good team with some of the nicest people around. Well structured classes.

Home away from home: come to an inviting centre, leave your troubles and excuses at the door and overcome/learn/adapt/endure/train and become a better version of yourself.
