Located in the heart of Palmerston North, **Art of Combat** is a premier facility dedicated to martial arts and comprehensive fitness. Evolving from a humble school hall in 2006, the academy has grown into a modern, purpose-built gym offering a vast array of training options for all ages and skill levels. Whether you are looking to compete at a professional level or simply seek a high-energy outlet for stress relief and fitness, Art of Combat provides a supportive, results-oriented community where you can check your ego at the door.
The academy specializes in a diverse range of combat sports, including **Muay Thai, Kickboxing, Boxing, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ)**. Classes are meticulously structured to cater to everyone from young children (ages 7+) to adults, with specific programs focused on fundamentals, self-defense, and competition preparation. For those interested in grappling, BJJ sessions range from beginner fundamentals to advanced rolling techniques. The combat sports curriculum emphasizes discipline, respect, and physical conditioning, using methods like high-intensity interval training to boost strength and endurance.
Beyond martial arts, Art of Combat boasts a fully equipped fitness center spanning approximately 300 square meters. Members have access to a wide selection of equipment, including **free weights, bumper plates, cable machines, cardio stations, battle ropes, and a dedicated sled track**. The facility also features a relaxing sauna, premium shower facilities, and physiotherapy services to support recovery and overall well-being. The gym environment is designed to be both functional and inviting, fostering a culture of hard work and mutual support.
Open daily from 5:00 AM to 11:00 PM, the gym offers flexible membership options tailored to different needs, including general gym access, martial arts classes, and combo packages that include sauna access. No joining fees are required, and new members are invited to try a free trial class to experience the energy firsthand. At Art of Combat, you will not only transform your body but also build character, confidence, and resilience that extends far beyond the gym walls.

Fantastic experience: Thanks Marty for taking our group of 55 - 75 year olds at short notice. We had a great time. Learning the basics of boxing. It was so good, some of the older guys are keen to take it up as a way of keeping fit when the get back home to the Waikato. It's a shame we don't live in Palmerston North as I am sure you would see some of our group take up boxing for fitness.
