Power Core MMA Gym

Fantastic experience: Love coming here & feeling so welcomed by everyone! I always leave every session feeling exhausted yet super accomplished

Fantastic experience: My experience at Powercore MMA has been great! The coaches and other people I train with are very friendly and I felt extremely welcomed. They teach you excellent skills and techniques at your own pace. Would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I've been coming to Powercore MMA for over 2 months now (BJJ and Kickboxing/Muay Thai) and can say the coaches and fellow students create a positive environment for those looking to improve themselves. Every class I attend, I am motivated to be better than the previous because of how helpful and friendly the coaches and students are. The classes are always different and never dull and because of that my fitness level has dramatically increase. Coming from someone who had no prior experience with any martial arts, I would definitely recommend Powercore MMA.

Fantastic experience: Did a good amount of classes with them. Amazing people and programmes. Great hospitality and community too! If you’re looking to learn and improve your techniques, or just losing weight, powercore mma is a good and excellent way to achieve that. Shout out to Ronin for being a great teacher and coach! Would absolutely recommend :)

Negative experience: I went to get back into MMA after going to a couple MMA gyms before so I’ve had a quite fair share of experience. Initially, off to a good start with learning there for a couple of months as they were open when asked multiple questions but soon the quality dropped off and red flags began to appear. I will be completely truthful and thorough in my review of this gym. Let me start with the positives. Pros: - friendly and welcoming attitude of both members and coach and some trainers - facility makes do with their space and it is very clean though small - open teaching attitude and some trainers are willing to show you more if asked - updates are given in a group chat about classes and fight opportunities - easy to change membership and add more classes if you wanted to do extra Now for the improvements and red flags which ultimately made my decision to leave. Cons: - There was a lack safety or none of it being run through at all and I was injured a couple of times by new and old members and it was treated with a very blaise attitude. Injuries were not called out at all or people reprimanded. - Lack of guidance in who is the main trainer and the trainers need more time and experience to teach correctly. Sometimes it is a varied mix of the coach, his teenage son and most other times it is led by gym members with a higher belt (blue belt) for BJJ or longer joining members in the other classes. This is really a big issue when you’re trying to secure a strong foundation/technique as the people who are leading those classes do not necessarily have the knowledge or solid foundation. I found some of the things learnt in the bjj and Muay Thai classes lacking in technique compare to my other gyms. For example, when asked for different techniques to compensate for physical differences, at times I was told there was only one right way and to keep at it. -The training needs refinement and perhaps a refresher in structure in comparison to other similar gyms. - The classes are mixed but are 99% male. Some members show concerning behaviour in terms of managing their strength against new or weaker sparring partners, leading to at times more injuries. This behaviour has not been corrected at the gym and sometimes at times, encouraged. If you are a woman, I suggest going elsewhere. - At times when there is a bigger class, the training feels very unsatisfactory. The main focus is on the regular fighters than newbies and ultimately you are getting less time learning techniques and the classes feel super rushed. But this could just be a general issue overall in gyms. If all of the issues above were fixed, then it would become a good gym. As it stands now, I wouldn’t be returning and do not recommend it to others.

Fantastic experience: Great gym with very helpful coaches and students. Everyone is very patient and professional and I feel myself improving really quickly

Fantastic experience: Great place to have training for martial arts. Staff are friendly, accommodating and very open. They will guide you on the first day. Other students as well will help and even give tips to get better.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely thrilled with MMA Powercore! From the moment we walked in, their friendliness and willingness to accommodate trial sessions made a world of difference. My kids, who are quite shy, felt instantly comfortable and welcomed. The training is incredibly gentle and mindful, ensuring that everyone stays safe while still learning a great deal. The fee structure is both reasonable and fair, making it accessible without compromising on quality. Additionally, if you’re interested in competing, they offer excellent training tailored for that as well. Highly recommend MMA Powercore for anyone looking to dive into martial arts in a supportive and professional environment!

Fantastic experience: Great mma gym, beginners or more experienced are all welcomed. Highly recommend. Will be returning.

Fantastic experience: Great team. Great facilities. Whether you’re a beginner looking to get started or a pro looking to sharpen your skills. This is the place for you.

Fantastic experience: Great environment to lift your fitness and development real skills. A place where you are in no way treated like another number and left to slip through the cracks. Attentive coaches and seems to attract people who are there to train hard and really help one another out along the way. I feel better every time I walk in and out of Power Core MMA.

Fantastic experience: I tried their $39 for 2 weeks unlimited access to their beginner appropriate classes. They were very well run with direct supervision, and great instruction. The vibe was friendly and supportive. There are multiple classes to choose from each day. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: My 6 year old son has attended Powercore gym in Marrickville for 2 months now. From the first class, both Charlie and I were not only made to feel welcome, but part of a large family. The instructors, students and their families who stay to watch the young ones are some of the nicest people you could hope to meet. My son has gained a great deal of confidence, improved his coordination, respect for others and most importantly made some nice new friends. He has also learned some valuable techniques in a short period of time. Being the youngest in the gym at 6 years old, I was a little nervous when we decided to start his training. However all of the young kids are lovely, they really look after Charlie and go out of their way to assist the trainers in his instruction. I plan to start my daughter when she turns 6 as well. The trainers are highly experienced and professional when instructing the young ones. All of the kids leave with huge smiles on their faces and they all look forward to coming back. Another key point that I should share is the flexibility and convenience Powercore training provides. Unlike Soccer, Cricket, Rubgy and other team sports. With Powercore MMA classes you train in the same location everytime. You do not have to drive all over Sydney losing a big chunk of your weekend. Plus we only train when we are in the mood, its your choice when and how often you train. This level of flexibility is simply impossible in traditional team sports. All in all, I cannot recommend Powercore Gym highly enough. Its clean, safe, super friendly and affordable. Its the best thing we have done for our young bloke in recent times.

Positive experience: Facility was clean and in good order, small however space is used well. Instruction and was attitude was woeful. I did a kickboxing and a jiu jitsu class on 2/10/23 and I was very unimpressed. During the kickboxing class a guy would wander over and demo a very basic technique with no explanation for how to do it or use it in a fight, no defence either, just a combo. This was I assume the head coach however he made no introduction of himself. He also barely spoke to me the entire time I was there. The class was boring and uninformative. The jiu jitsu class was no better and I would say exactly the same as above. Boring and uninformative. The class was mostly white belts and I appreciate that the technical aspects would be basic however there was no instruction, just a brief demo and off you go. I asked if there was sparring or advanced classes better suited to me and was told “they train another night”, I was not told which night or offered any way to join said class. All in all this gym is only worth it to a complete beginner for maybe 3 months. Too many red flags of just not being able to handle a serious team. They did send me a link asking for a review so it seems they’re trying to improve.

Fantastic experience: Great gym , good trainers, good workouts and everything you need to constantly improve and learn something new every class.

Fantastic experience: This place is a hidden gem. Training with Cowch and Ronin is a pleasure. I came to train Muay Thai kickboxing and its great, they cater to your level and you can train up to 6 days a week if you want. They also have a well equipped gym and mix in functional fitness or even bits of thai style training. Would recommend.

Fantastic experience: This is the best Muay Thai/MMA/Jiu jitsu gym I’ve been to in Sydney. The coaches know what they’re doing and help you progress no matter your skill level. No toxic community here - everyone is a part of the team as soon as you walk through the door. 100% recommend.

Fantastic experience: I love it here! Power Core is a wonderful family-run gym in the heart of Marrickville.

The sessions are tough but place a welcome emphasis on practical self-defence and good fighting technique. There is a great range of classes so you always have the option to try something new. Bella Fabi helps to create a wonderful welcoming environment, guides you through the sign up process, and answers any questions you might have. The rates are really reasonable and if you want to build your skills to compete, you can.
