Movement Martial Arts

Fantastic experience: fantastic place for training, coaches have been great with me all the way from my first trial class. coaches and people there are legends

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Alex consistently for over a month now and I have nothing but good things to say. Alex has been patient with me as beginner, but at the same time pushing the limits with my technical abilities in Muay Thai. I come out of each session having learnt something new and confident that I am improving. Alex is critical and technical, picking up on the smallest abilities to tweak your skills. Exactly what you want in your trainer. Highly recommend Movement and Alex to anyone who wants to give Muay Thai a go and I will be continuing with Alex!

Fantastic experience: This place is absolutely the best place for martial arts by far in Australia . No other place comes even close . Seriously , the place is bright , huge Clean and most of all the trainers and the people are the best of the best . They ace it when dealing with kids . Kids love the people and the place here for a valid reason and that’s because they feel welcomed supported and getting trained to get better class by class . It’s a gem for kids wanting to get into martial arts at a professional level and for adults who are progressing their level of BJJ or Muay Thai. We have been with them for 4 years now and we ain’t leaving .

Fantastic experience: Movement is a great place to train with a variety of styles on offer (Muay Thai/MMA/BJJ gi & no gi) to cater to everyone of all skill levels, from the competitive athlete to the hobbyist or beginner to the sport, you will find good rolls/rounds and will make friends here along the way. If you are looking to start your journey in combat sports, look no further than Movement.

Fantastic experience: Best coaches and friendly community

Negative experience: A purple belt almost broke my wrist and proudly bragged to the coach about it (pathetic). He did so by wristlocking me instantly and as if his life depended on it and I didn't have time to tap and my wrist cracked 2-3 times. Other people in the changing room disclosed to me that injuries occur frequently at this gym on a level where ambulance is needed. Couldn't keep training for the competition. Months later there is a swollen buldge and I'm seeing the doctor. Cannot recommend for people who want to stay injury free and keep training. Edit: The owner of the gym called me and tried to convince me to remove my review here. Also he offered me some months of free training if I removed my review...

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Alex on and off for about two years. He’s probably the most patient coach I’ve had. He’s gets better every session & is always training to be even better! I’d recommend him 10/10

Fantastic experience: Instructors are exceptional and amazing with the kids. My son loves it here. Facility is also top quality and the thought, detail as well as safety practices are unmatched.

Fantastic experience: Great gym and friendly coaches

Fantastic experience: Great place to train!

Fantastic experience: I've been going to Movement for a couple years now and the instructors (Andrew, Billy and Wade) are exceptional, the overall vibe is great and I have had nothing but good experiences. They have a very friendly team who make me actually want to go train and I look forward to walking through the doors and feel amazing when I leave. I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to get in shape.

Fantastic experience: I've been with Movement for just past three years and the experience has been nothing but positive. Both coaches and their assistant coaches have been very accommodating and are very knowledgeable. The culture is also amazing as everybody is so welcoming and the vibe is so chilled. I definitely would recommend Movement Martial Arts to anybody who would like to get fit and also learn the gentle art and/or the art of 8 limbs. Thank you, Movement.

Fantastic experience: I was a small-time shoe shiner from working-class Sydney, my life took a sharp turn when I was arbitrarily chosen to take on the reigning world heavyweight champion, Jay Creed, when the undefeated fighter's scheduled opponent is injured. That's when I found Movement, when I started training with Movement martial arts I was so happy to work with good focused coaches that made learning easy, with the tools I learnt from Movement martial arts I went a full 5 rounds with the great heavy weight Jaysious Creed witch no one has ever done! and its all thanks to the beautiful staff at movement.

Fantastic experience: Amazing coaches, top tier facilities and great gym culture!

Fantastic experience: Great friendly atmosphere, good prices. Wonderful experience

Fantastic experience: It's rare to find an MMA gym with a culture that's welcoming to newcomers and casuals alike, while also having a skilled training staff who can encourage and take pride in students competing. But that's exactly what you get at Movement! I'm extremely happy with my time there so far, and I look forward to many great years ahead.

Fantastic experience: I started training here with no martial arts background and the coaches have always been extremely helpful. The atmosphere is very relaxed and the location is really convenient as well.

Fantastic experience: Good energy with a massive mat space. Amazing at teaching you how to punch,kick and submit people as well.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic place to train! The coaches are amazing with the kids, from the little kids, to the not so little anymore kids :) They bring fun, positivity and gentle discipline to the mat - constantly ensuring everyone is always improving and perfecting their techniques. Staff are always courteous, helpful and friendly.

Fantastic experience: Friendly, experiences and helpful staff, great facilities, overall excellent!

Fantastic experience: Best Martial Arts Gym in Sydney! I have been a member of Movement for two years and am so grateful to be a part of this community. The coaches have helped me to improve in Muay Thai and Brazilian jiu jitsu. Each week is packed full of classes to cater to every level of athlete from beginner to those looking to compete. The value for what you pay cannot be measured. I love Movement and I know you will too.

Fantastic experience: I have trained at this gym for about 2 years and it was one of the best choices I have made. The coaches are approachable, friendly, educational and pushes you to your limits. It has wide range of facilities including easy parking access. The gym is very clean and the people are very kind.

Fantastic experience: Fabulous place for kids to learn MMA basics! Coaches are great with the kids, and the place is very well organised. My daughter is happy to go to the classes each week and is learning skills for life. Very happy with this place and wish I had this growing up!

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend !! Nice Gym, nice people, I had been training at movement for over 4 yrs now, I had learned a lots from the coaches and other mat buddy, no major injuries from the mats, people are always looking after each other while sharing and learning from each other. now my kid also starting the BJJ here n loving the sport. clean n mop every day, clean toilets n bathroom, easy parking, 2 mins walking from Macquarie park station. thanks again Movement team for the efforts and creating such good place for us the train :)

Fantastic experience: Best martial arts gym I've been to!

Fantastic experience: When I first met my partner Andrew Shin, I noticed his strong shoulders, chiseled jawline and masculine pheromones that filled my nostrils with testosterone. Also the gym is very nice.

Fantastic experience: Amazing staff and coaches. Great for youngsters 5 all the way up to adults

Fantastic experience: Great place to train. I tried it out because the class times worked best for me. I keep coming back because of the instructors and classmates. Every class I learn something, get a good workout and have fun.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love the environment there. The coaches are really welcoming and lovely. They have so many classes and great equipment. 10/10

Fantastic experience: Great coaching and culture. Fantastic place to learn BJJ or muay thai.

Fantastic experience: I practice Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in Movement Martial Arts, and I'd like to say that this is a very welcoming, friendly and supportive community. The coaches are highly qualified and they are always happy to answer questions. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is an art with a very steep learning curve and can be extremely challenging to stick with, so I am incredibly grateful for the wonderful people I have met.

Fantastic experience: Recently signed up to this gym with my daughter. My daughter was extremely keen at only 7 years of age, more so than soccer and has only done two lessons. Myself only 3. Great location, and gym (not having to hire out a school). One of the strong points is the timetable. Works great for us especially kids on Saturday morning and I myself working from home at times, going at lunch times as well. This is great for mental health as well. I'm nearing middle life age and have never done any marital arts. I don't think it's too late

Fantastic experience: Great environment for my 2 kids to learn BJJ and Muay Thai. They have made many friends along the way. It's inspiring to see their confidence grow over the last 12 months also knowing they are keeping healthy mentally and physically. Really nurturing coaches who have wonderful connections and rapport with the kids. Keep up the good work!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training at Movement Martial Arts for 4 years now, and I love it. The coaches are great, welcoming and a lot of fun, the members are friendly, it’s a great vibe. Having trained at several different gyms over the years, I can say this is one of the best gyms I’ve trained at. The staff and facilities are great, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Mauy Thai, MMA, Strength & Conditioning, Weights area, showers and easy parking. It’s a fantastic gym. I don’t understand how anyone could say any different. 5-stars.

Fantastic experience: This gym is a testament to what a great gym should embody. The trainers are world not only world class mixed martial artists but understand how to communicate in a way for all kinds of learning styles. Whether you’re a beginner, intermediate or advanced both the students and trainers will accomodate to you. The environment built in this gym is unmatched with all egos left at the door and everyone wanting to help one another improve. They have a great Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu programme and they’re prices are great! Whether you want to get in shape, compete or simply call movement your second home I highly recommend movement !

Fantastic experience: The practice of Brazilian jiu jitsu has many benefits, both mental and physical. I speak from experience when I say this. However, it requires the guidance of highly experienced practitioners to impart their knowledge, wisdom and experience in order to safely train others. I can vouch for the fact that Movement has some of the top professors and coaches in Sydney, let alone the country - this comes from own experience at other gyms across Australia. The high skill set of the team means that when I come to class, I feel that I am learning in a safe environment. On top of this, the team has extensive competition experience, so the gym is highly recommended to those that also want to bring their game up to remain competitive. Since joining I have always felt welcomed. The team and the people who participate in the classes have been very accomodating and extremely approachable. This has contributed to my overall highly positive experience. Given the above, I highly recommend this gym for anyone who is interested in practising the sport. You will not regret joining!

Fantastic experience: The teachers are very helpful and make it is to start. They respond quickly to calls and have clear communication. I would recommend this place.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, great coaches, great fellow students - i love this place! Whether i go for an early morning class, lunch time, after work or weekend i always feel a buzz! Thanks to the mvmt community for your energy, teaching and passion.

Fantastic experience: In my years of brazilian jiu-jitsu training, I have had the privilege of visiting several gyms, in Sydney as well as overseas and interstate. The decision to stay at any gym is ultimately formed by the level of training, facilities, the culture and management. Movement Martial Arts has exceeded my expectations in all facets. From the first day stepping on the mats, I was greeted with friendly faces and supportive members. The reception staff gave me a thorough induction so I could navigate the gym with ease. The membership programs offered are transparent and competitive. The facilities available were clean and conducive to spending hours on the mats. There are showers and change rooms for both men and women. The management team are also scrupulous with hygiene - mats and equipment are cleaned daily. Training-wise, there are 3 main black-belt coaches, each with their own style of jiu-jitsu and plenty to learn from, whether it be modern, traditional or unconventional jiu-jitsu. In addition, there are also regular black belt training partners and plenty of high level belts to roll, practice with and learn from. For those seeking women's only classes, there is an extremely talented female coach who runs a female only class - perfect for ladies looking for training partners that are similar in size. The people at this gym have been the most kind and welcoming throughout my jiu-jitsu journey. The culture is inclusive, supportive and fun! I can not recommend Movement Martial Arts enough. 10/10

Fantastic experience: While the Movement team offer Muay Thai, MMA and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu - I can only speak to their BJJ program as that is currently what I'm subscribed to. Having trained in Judo and BJJ for several years (purple beltch), I've had the privilege of being able to train at several gyms around Sydney and overseas. Movement offer several things you don't get at many martial art gyms. Mainly: - 3 experienced and knowledgeable BJJ head coaches who earned their black belts under Anthony Perosh. - A larger than usual roster of very technically proficient coloured belts to train with (by my count there are at least 2 more black belts, at least 8 brown belts and a plethora of purple and blue belts). - Good and clean onsite facilities (male and female changerooms, bathrooms, showers, weights etc). - A very welcoming community of friendly practicioners dedicated to learning and improving. If you're looking for a BJJ gym, whether brand new or experienced, I highly recommend giving Movement Martial Arts a try. 5/5 Would train again.

Negative experience: The trainers were friendly, but you barely get any time with them. You're forced to find a partner for each session but everyone is in their own little cliques already. If I had known this I never would have signed up. Your partner may end up being bigger than you, so when they're practicing kicking you your head just ends up ringing the whole session lol. The change room is overcrowded and small, and the whole training room in general is hot and smells like sweat. So when you decide the place isn't for you because of the aforementioned reasons, they hit you with around $300 cancellation fee. So unfortunate.

Fantastic experience: This gym is fantastic. The culture here in the community is very accepting and open to beginners and newcomers alike. I joined with no muay thai or brazilian jiu jitsu background and the teachers and students are all quite welcoming and free to teach you. As a woman who wanted to learn martial arts, the community is also very open and will treat you equally :) I am very happy with my experience here in Movement Martial Arts, having been here for more than 6 months. It's been a great little community that I look forward to seeing a few days a week!

Fantastic experience: I got to have the opportunity to train with Alex Di Santo. He’s such an amiable and funny personality. It’s never a boring session with Alex! Oh, and he’s like a “giant” character with a big heart! Train with him for an immaculate experience! ☺️

Fantastic experience: Not sure why they’re prices are so low, but there aren’t really any cost friendly alternatives nearby. They have many classes 6 days of the week and an open mat on Sunday, with great coaching and facilities. Sometimes there are as little as 6 in a class for Muay Thai at 8pm, with coaches giving helpful tips and advice.

Fantastic experience: I've been to a couple of gyms and this is by far the best one in terms of culture, people, coaches and facilities. Having not trained anywhere else before, I found both BJJ and Muay Thai classes to be beginner friendly and all my training partners were always willing to help. I'm grateful to have found such a great place to train!

Fantastic experience: Tough crowd, highly technical and fun to train with. Great environment for an after work sesh! Five stars to the receptionists too (hard-working staff that don't even have time to train )

Fantastic experience: superb place to train. coaches and staff are competent, professional, and friendly. gym is spacious and clean. awesome community. highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Such a fabulous place to train with a real sense of community. The coaches are extremely friendly and professional, treating everyone as valued members.

Fantastic experience: This is the best gym around. Have been training for years and it's now my 2nd home. Feels so good after every class! I recommend Movement Martial Arts 100%. 5 Stars All The Way!

Fantastic experience: I've been training BJJ for just over a month there and it's great! Unlike most other gyms, Movement has this awesome sense of community so you'll always feel welcomed and comfortable being there. The classes are well run and super fun with literally the best and most patient coaches, regardless of your martials arts background. The gym is also very professionally cleaned and maintained. Book yourself in and you'll love it!

Fantastic experience: The best martial arts gym in Sydney! Top quality coaches, amazing community and welcoming at all levels of Muay Thai and BJJ. From day 1 the coaches and it's community make you feel at home, even if you're a complete beginner like I was. Definitely would recommend Movement to anyone interested in martial arts or wants to try it out for the first time!

Fantastic experience: World class coaches, top club and awesome community. This club is the best! Started training Muay Thai here as a complete nubie several years ago and am hooked. Always felt welcome and never worried by rookie mistakes. Every coach looks out for every new member as does the community they create. This is more than a business. They really care. If you’re looking to learn Muay Thai or BJJ, this is the place to begin your journey whatever your age. Come do a free trial and you’ll be hooked too!

Fantastic experience: The best place to train! The coaches are highly skilled and attentive to your needs, no matter whether you're a beginner or been doing the sport for years. The culture of the club is very welcoming and you will not leave the place without having made a friend. I've been coming here for years and train every day and cannot recommend this place enough!

Fantastic experience: Coaches are very friendly and knowledgeable, great and fun environment to learn martial arts!

Fantastic experience: Great Gym, Great Coaches, Great vibes

Negative experience: I was unable to train over covid. This business sent debt collectors after me insisting I owed $450 despite not allowing me to attend. Very unethical business, very little care for customers, over priced and poor quality coaching. Don't sign anything because they'll chase you down with lawyers for every dollar they can get.

Fantastic experience: I used to see Billy (coach) wrestle on the grass in high school in 06 to 08 and thought he was a madman. Fast forward all these years and he's part of great ownership of coaches and trainers who'll teach with their own distinct styles and character. Have been coming for a few years now and appreciate what they do for their students. These guys are winners, grinners and straight killers.

Fantastic experience: I train at here everyday and it has become a second home for me. I’ve been to other gyms but none of them felt the same as Movement. One thing that stands out about Movement is the community - coaches, staff, and other members are so fun to be around which makes it a very inviting gym. Come here if you’re looking to train martial arts.

Fantastic experience: Not bad!

Fantastic experience: Great team of trainers, always happy to help and break down movements or techniques. Also, shout out to all the people that also trained there, everyone was always so friendly and made you feel like you were apart of the team. Would recommend!

Fantastic experience: I joined in Feb 2020 and trained there consistently (3/4 times a week) for 1.5y. I made some amazing friends there and the coaches are so knowledgeable, professional and fun! The gym caters for all levels. I only trained in Muay Thai and done one Female BJJ trial class which was real good too. There is a good mix of regulars and newbies so you never get to partner with the same people. Respect, friendliness and hard work are the pillars. I have had so many good times there and was very sad to leave (moving to another part of Sydney). Fortunately, I will take with me a handful of beautiful friendships and a good recommendation for my new gym. I am pretty active and I tend to train hard: the classes never disappoint. Don't think twice and sign up: you are guaranteed a complete workout and a great time!

Fantastic experience: This gym is a great place to train. All the coaches know what they are doing and are always willing to help you with your skills. Also it’s a very friendly and relaxed environment that I feel like hanging around after a training session. I highly recommend it to anyone that want to start out or advance their skills. Keep up the good work guys!
