DMD's Mixed Martial Arts

I've been a member here for ages now. It's the best. The coaches are amazing. Huge focus on technique and is amazing for all fitness levels. I'm really grateful I found them

Really welcoming environment with great coaches and a lot of different class options.

The boxing classes in particular are fantastic, and the morning classes provide a high intensity workout for those looking to push themselves!

DMD's is my favourite place to work out in Melbourne. It's my home away from home, made to feel that way by the incredible coaches and the growing community. I've been attending the boxing sessions led by Craig & Mary or Simon & Laura - hands down the highlight of my week every time! The sessions are a mix of boxing technique/combos and strength workouts, and the opportunity to spar. The coaches have been incredibly supportive from the get-go, focusing on finessing technique and improving stamina to get us fight-ready if we're up for the challenge, or simply to achieve our own personal goals. I first walked into the gym a complete novice and now leave each session feeling elated and excited to learn more!

I’ve been attending the morning and afternoon boxing classes. Amazing instructors, such a supportive environment. I’m learning to perfect my boxing technique while getting a full body workout

Such great experience! As a beginner to boxing and kickboxing I found it really helpful to have the 30 minute basic technique session before kickboxing, but during all the sessions the amazing coaches are happy to help and give you tips improve. The other members are also super friendly and helpful. To be honest can’t speak highly enough of the team and the workouts! Even loved the drills. Facilities wise is huge with a range of equipment and very reasonable pricing. Family friendly, felt super comfortable as a woman (having previously hated typical gyms). I didn’t try BJJ but wish I made use of the incredible octagon having now left the country!

Solid gym. The size is decent, friendly atmosphere, variety of equipment including downstairs weight room, range of classes and equipment is regularly upgraded. For the money, you'd be very hard pressed to find a better gym.

Love it. Dave is a great trainer and as a newbie I really appreciate that they do a 30 min session before the class to properly teach you basic technique.

I did a trial here and a trial at another gym that's close by — DMD is 10000% better.

It's been 4 fantastic years and the talented coaching staff always give a great workout with lots of emphasis on proper technique! Lovely community/family environment too

I've recently moved from Canada with the intention to continue kickboxing and compete. DMD's was the first facility that I tried out and the first place that I found a sense of community in Australia. Now I'm hooked and looking towards a fight in 2019!

Dave works tirelessly to provide students with top quality instruction and feedback. His commitment to sessions and members' progress is unparalleled and his experience vast, not to mention his attention to detail. Craig and Mary run fun and diverse boxing sessions that have really helped to improve my cognitive and physical self-awareness.

Since starting at DMD's, my technique has improved immensely and I have more confidence than ever in my body mechanics. I feel comfortable and well equipped to push myself to my limits in every session, and inspired by the enthusiasm and dedication of everyone around me.

Don't let the idea of MMA or the facility intimidate you! You won't find better people anywhere else.

Awesome training in boxing with boxing trainer and muay thai kickboxing with an ex pro fighter Crew David head trainer. If you want a good technique, good core, learn how to spar to eventually fight or for fitness go here. Tough as nails training sessions. Not for the faint hearted.

I've been attending the boxing classes at DMD's MMA for about four months now and I absolutely love them. Dave, Craig and Mary are incredibly dedicate and genuine people (and great trainers of course) - they will teach you how to boxe properly, wether you're there for the fitness or to actually fight eventually.
Classes run for 1.5 h and it's just perfect, the right amount of time to fit in technique training as well as cardio.
Gym goers are all welcoming and nice - beginners you are safe! No ego champs at this gym, just friendly people who will help out if you're starting.
I'm 35 and trying to stay fit - I didn't expect to be able to throw a decent right at this stage in my life.
Boxing is good for the body and good for the soul - come to DMD's to try and verify yourself how true this is

p.s.: I haven't reviewed the other classes (kickboxing and BJJ) as I haven't tried them, but it's such a quality gym that I'm sure they are great too

Amazing gym!
If you want to get fit or learn how to defend yourself then this place is for you! If you sign-up and continue to go you will see some fantastic results! Great staff, great people and a great training routines!

A really great gym. I started training here with no experience at all and was never made to feel like I didn’t belong. I can only speak for the boxing/ kickboxing classes but the staff know their stuff

Love this gym. A lovely community of people that welcomes you in whether you're new or experienced (in boxing / muay thai / bjj / general gym). No egos, and good training. And you can go just to learn the sport or keep fit, or take it to the next level and train to be a proper fighter. Highly recommend this place)

Great gym, choice of Brazilian jujitsu, boxing, kickboxing classes and PT Monday to Saturday, friendly trainers, come give it a go!

Its a hidden gem (gym) of Brunswick. Once you find it and try it out you will feel welcome, supported and part of the team. Everyone is keen to help. The owner Dave will take you as far as you want to go. You can be fit or you can train to be a champion fighter, it's up to you. Don't worry, there's no posers or meatheads. Family friendly.

A great gym with great facilities and even better people.

David (head trainer) helped me to transform my life. I guarentee you won't find a trainer like him anywhere else!

Great place; plenty of facilities, good no-nonsense martial arts. Great for Beginners and Advanced alike, with Kickboxing, Boxing, BJJ, Kids BJJ and more. General weights room downstairs as well.

Addictive! Great venue and facilities, staff are great! I was nervous to start training, especially on my own, but DMD's made my experience 100% less frighting. Such a family environment, where training is hard but fun, very rewarding. Range of classes catering to everyone and styles. I must say i was impressed with the diversity.not just pro fighters and guys.all walks of life are welcome <3 I recommend Anyone with kids that need a confidence boost or just for fun, this is the place to start bringing them!

DMD's is a great martial centre, everyone is so welcoming, encouraging and motivating. As soon as I got there I felt at home, not only are the trainers and people delightful but the training you receive is exceptional and it pushes you to your limits. The Trainer (Dave) is a passionate person you can feel it when he trains you and also trains himself. You feel the difference from a trainer when they are passionate and do it for the love of the sport because their care factor is a lot higher.
