Southside Academy Of Combat

One of the best MMA gyms around. Friendly and helpful staff.
Clean training equipment and bathrooms.
24/7 gym attached.
Couldn't be happier training here.

Very well established, love the classes that are offered, very friendly and helpful environment, equipment is well provided and staff are very experienced and can be trusted without a doubt.

Awesome owners and the gym itself can’t wait to start up but due to a stupid injury I don’t have clearance from my doctor yet but have been itching to get in there see yous all very very soon!

I trained at south side academy with Mas Tufan & I highly recommend him & his team. The self defence skills I learned & drilled will forever help me & the knowledge helped me grow as a person.

Thanks heaps for everything Mas:)

My son Diesel is not a member of this gym, however our experience with one of the Junior fighters, the coaches and supporters has prompted me to write a review.

Diesel had his first fight today at the JMMAC at Fightcross Albion.

He came up against one of your young fighters, Abdullah Mustafa.

I wanted to leave a review for your academy, because I was so impressed with your entire team, your students, coaches and supporters were truely incredible.

Some amazing talented young fighters, but what was more impressive, was how humble and respectful they were both on and off the mat.

They are such god sportsman, and clearly very skilful, but they approached the day with such a positive and courageous attitude, their behaviour was contagious.

It was so refreshing to see that all ego was left at the door and everyone who wore your colours wore them with pride as a community.

It made my heart happy, that’s Diesels first experience was coming up against your club.

I wanted to thank you and let you know.

For the past 6 years, our son has attended Southside Combat Academy. He's developed a wide range of abilities and gained a great deal of self-assurance. The trainers’ hearts are for the students to be good citizens and avoid violence, yet stand up for themselves in a positive way. The community and environment is very positive and the students and instructors support and encourage each other. I would not hesitate to recommend this Academy to anyone!

They have “Womens only” classes available with fantastic female coaches and I rate the classes 10/10. So much fun!

My makes Kylee Waaka, this is one of the best mma gyms I have ever had the the privilege to be under. I've met so many awesome people, my BJJ and striking skills excelled quickly.my trainers were so invested in teaching us properly and safely and making sure we get the best out of each session.i always left class feeling great and felt like I had accomplished something new each time. I am so proud to have met this bunch but very sad to leave due to moving away.never the less I will be definitely tau ing with you all of I'm every in the neighbourhood.

I am going onto my 7th month of training with Mas for 2 days a week, i have noticed a good increase in my fitness level and stamina. The atmosphere here is calm, friendly and feels like a second home. Everyone here is encouraging and i thoroughly enjoy coming. - Troy

Greatest place to train amazing instructor who motivates you mentaly and physicaly most humbling experience great for all ages and fitness levels you will leave training happy and redy for next lesson

My children love this place! Everytime it's a Silat day, they'll always make sure they're ready without me telling them to. They learn on self-discipline, protect themselves and others and most importantly they have the understanding of not using the art to hurt others but using it only for self-defense. Mentors are great role models. Bless them.

Really good staff. Excellent location. Great rates. I get private sessions as well as training in the gym. Well catered to my busy schedule. Glad to be a member!

Such an amazing place to train! So many styles taught by high level instructors. Welcoming family environment!

Love this place, great community and very knowledgeable trainers that really care about there members!

I've been to many martial arts gyms and this is by far the best! The club is a friendly environment with no egos and the instructors are all very experienced, patient, skilled and supportive with their teaching and training. I would recommend Southside Academy of Combat to anyone looking for a place to train and grow.

What an awesome place to train. The Master Taufan is funny, ambitious, and knowledgeable. I have been coming here for a few months and it's become an addiction. I would highly recommend freinds and family to train here if they want to learn the art and to get in shape or stay in shape.

Best place to train martial arts! Mas/Coach Taufan is an awesome instructor and detailed in his teachings. Students and staff are very friendly. Made me feel part of the family from day one. Great environment and facilities. I'm very happy with them to be part of my journey towards a healthier lifestyle.

I love this place. Getting healthy, getting ready, getting friends, getting family. My kids and I love the martial art class and the coaches are awesome.

I love this place! Cherie is the best trainer i've had the pleasure of working with. I wake up everyday excited to get me MMA on and become a total badass.
