SASSOM FITNESS & MMA

Fantastic experience: Really friendly, high-quality gym with a relaxed atmosphere. The staff are friendly and there is a solid BJJ curriculum covering all aspects of jiu jitsu. There is a variety of coloured belts and everyone respects how intense you want the roll to be when asked.

Negative experience: Used to be good, would recommend elsewhere. Move this

Marcus is a great coach and has made me feel very welcome, Billy is also a professional chap. Thanks team keep up the great work

Fantastic experience: Great experience for my temporary stay in Brisbane. Club is welcoming and relaxed. mostly younger crowd with some really good vibes.

Fantastic experience: Very nice place, excellent equipment and friendly staff. Highly recommended. Great, great experience!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic MMA gym, great BJJ curriculum. Marcus and Gabe go above and beyond to help you in drills, live rolls, warmups and demonstrations. Friendly welcoming environment made some lifelong friends here. Good breadth of recreational, beginner, experienced and pro fighters to train with. Sassoms Gi is top quality rolled in it 3+ nights a week for close to a year with zero signs of wear n tear.

Fantastic experience: The coaches are knowledgeable, approachable, and truly invested in helping members improve their skills. The facility itself is fantastic, equipped with modern amenities and a welcoming atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, BJJ training is intense and fun. Downstairs gym is also great, good quality weights and extremely clean all the time.

Negative experience: Terrible unprofessional communication by management

Fantastic experience: Big sized gym. Great trainers and quality training. Very accommodating for beginners too which was something I was scared about initially. Thanks team

Fantastic experience: Been here 5 years. Real rollercoaster but its been fun.

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere

Fantastic experience: After training for many years in multiple locations this gym has been one of the most pleasant environments to train in. Very friendly head coach and assisting coaches from the fight team. You can tell the head coach is very experienced as he knows how to cater towards beginners and experienced students in the same class. Facility has everything you need with plenty of room for everyone to have a crack in the gym or classes upstairs. Overall, highly recommended

Fantastic experience: Fully equipped gym downstairs and MMA classes upstairs. Awesome bunch of people and very friendly. Couldn't recommend it more highly to join and fair subscription fees

Fantastic experience: I have trained at sassom for over a year now (apologies for only now giving a review), but have trained out of a few different gyms (both MMA, pure mauy thai, and pure bjj), and I've found sassom to have the highest quality of martial arts. The culture is great; very relaxed so you can work at your own pace. Theres a lot high bjj belts in the gym who in my experience have been very willing to help me out to improve my game. Highly recommended gym

Fantastic experience: great team of people

Fantastic experience: Awesome school with a really friendly owner (Marcus) and great coaches. Good atmosphere, and you get people of all sorts here from beginners to very friendly pros. Learned a lot! They have BJJ, kickboxing/striking, and a few other classes. Special note for the weightlifting room — it's tidy, there are five racks with lots of olympic and heavy metal plates, and the plates and dumbbells are always in the racks in the right spot. Not your average globo gym, people here are respectful of the gear. I hope to be back!

Fantastic experience: Nice gym, nice people

Fantastic experience: Knowledgable staff and great environment. Highly recommend!

Positive experience: nice staff and gym

Fantastic experience: Great gym with fantastic staff. Would definitely recommend to everyone!

Fantastic experience: Best MMA gym in Australia. Top quality training partners

Fantastic experience: Always friendly, never a 'sorry out of order' sign on equipment, spotlessly clean and air-conditioned to a temperature that you feel comfortable even while working out. Quality equipment and plenty of free weight thoughtfully spread around the gym. Nice to see gymnastic rings and proper lifting platforms too.

Fantastic experience: Everything you'd ever need in a gym!

Fantastic experience: I have trained in several MMA and BJJ gyms and this is by far the best one I have been to. They have dedicated wrestling classes as well as multiple BJJ classes every day.

Negative experience: This is a McDojo 1) they let day 1, zero experience white belts roll full speed with other zero experience white belts. I've seen multiple injuries occur 2) every 3 weeks there's a new rotation of white belts who don't stick around because all the classes are taught by a purple belt who shows you one random, obscure move, then lets the class loose. Barely any drills, no focus on the basics 3) mats are disgusting. They are the cheap, thin, interlocking puzzle type. Bjj starts after the boxing class, and you roll around on puddles of sweat because the ventilation is so bad 4) to get stripes, or a promotion, you need to pay $100.00 to go to their promotion event

Fantastic experience: Trainers are great. Always break down techniques so they are easy to understand and always on hand to ask questions. Place has a really good vibe and everyone who walks in the door is very friendly.

Fantastic experience: Professional staff,good place!

Fantastic experience: The old-school style is suitable for me, and the price is good

Fantastic experience: great gym!

Fantastic experience: Best gym in the area

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym .. all the equipment you need and really well maintained. Staff are helpful and knowledgeable..

Fantastic experience: Marcus's SASSOM gym refurb is 1st class! Modern top condition equipment and facilities. The layout is well thought out, plenty of all types of clean, well maintained equipment, in plenty of fully air conditioned space, with easy off and on street parking. Being a, passionate and very experienced owner, operated gym, it has a friendly relaxed inviting atmosphere that chain gym operations just cannot create. Check it out, you wont be disappointed! I've been going there for around ten years :-)

Fantastic experience: All the proper equipment needed for a real old school no faffing about workout. This is a place to get in some solid work without distraction.

Fantastic experience: Incredible BJJ school, not only in instruction also the pedigree of Marcus students. I have trained here for close to 10 years and I have enjoyed that time immensely. If you are thinking about taking up BJJ you won't regret training at this school.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym (completely renovated & upgraded earlier this year) and even better martial arts space. Great atmosphere for all ages and skill levels within the provided; wrestling, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, mixed martial arts, muai thai and fitness classes available. Friendly, competent, and approachable trainers led by well known and respected head coach Marcus Collings.

Fantastic experience: I've been working out here for several years, and it's everything you need in a gym. The gym is clean, the equipment is well maintained and the owner, Marcus, is a top bloke. I highly recommend.

All the other trainers are top quality as well and the people that go there to train have a really good attitude.

Fantastic experience: Awesome MMA gym. Boxing ring, cage and massive space for rolling and sparing. Really good friendly crew and instructors. Thanks very much !

Fantastic experience: i wanna go there wait for me!

Fantastic experience: I've been training jiu jitsu at Sassom (both gi and no-gi) for almost six months now. Over the years I have experimented with BJJ at two or three other gyms, and Sassom is the only one that kept me coming back. The coaches are first-rate: knowledgable, accessible, friendly and good at teaching. The comaraderie at Sassom is inclusive and immediately felt. The facilities are excellent: spacious training area and numerous classes. Very impressed and would recommend to anyone looking to give BJJ a go.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, great instructors and the people there are always bringing a good vibe. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Great BJJ classes with friendly members and fun training; the coaches are open minded and always happy to help answer questions. Nice facilities and numerous black, brown and purple belts training regularly.

Fantastic experience: I started training at Sassom over three years ago and can happily attest to the wonderful, friendly atmosphere of the whole place. The Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and the Muay thai classes cater to everyone from beginners to the more advanced, everyone is made to feel welcome as I was so warmly over three years ago. If you are interested in starting a life changing journey that provides the benefits of fitness, friendship and most importantly fun, then come on down to Sassom MMA, you won't regret it! -Matt Aplin

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym, great trainers, timetables and atmosphere. 10/10

Fantastic experience: Marcus has been in the fight game for a long time and is a well respected trainer and very successful competitor himself. Sassom MMA caters to all sorts - the casual who just wants to get fit or the stud looking to be the next champion. It is a great ego-free place to train with a full roster of morning/lunch/night classes to fit anyone's busy schedule.

Fantastic experience: For BJJ, Thai Boxing and MMA you won't find a more welcoming gym anywhere in Brisbane.

Fantastic experience: My family and I have been training together here regularly and can say that SASSOM is a real positive and friendly environment to train for all.
