Negative experience: Quite appalled to be totally honest. Went to watch and pick up my neice, and heard The trainer maybe the owner literally screaming swearing at some young girls. It actually gave me one hell of a fright and I cant imagine how the young girls felt being screamed and sworn at. Disguisting behaviour ! What kind of place is this where kids are treated this way!!
That is absolutely not okay, please email us on [email protected] so we can sort this out immediately.

Hi Rosie, from all of us at The Combat Centre thank you for such a great review. We are stoked you and your daughter are with us.
Fantastic experience: I really miss coming to The Combat Centre. This was my first boxing gym and I was so supported here and really enjoyed it! I've since moved to Sydney and at my first boxing gym I was verbally abused. Such a stark contrast and makes me really appreciate what I had at The Combat Centre. Thank you Matt, Macca, and Vin for everything!
Fantastic experience: As my first gym I've attended, TCC has helped me grow as a person and introduced me to martial arts. Everyone there is inviting and welcoming and go out of their way to make every individual feel appreciated.
Hi Dante, from all of us at The Combat Centre thank you for your review.
Negative experience: Had two occasions where I felt the staff are not friendly when it comes to end of membership/changing membership types/renewing the period for concession card. Their response differs 180 degrees at the time youre trying to join and when you need a break/pause/change membership for any genuine reasons. Despite the reasons I provide they dont even bother replying. I have been to the receptions to discuss this, they said its okay and will likely to make changes for me however nothing done despite my communication in advance. On hindsight, I liked the BJJ coaches and coach Vin Mahoni as well. Enjoyed training under them. It is unfortunate this gym doesnt work for me with unsteady work hours, and am quite disappointed with their response.
Hi CB, so sorry this was your experience, and that our gym doesn't work for you. Thank you for your feedback.
Fantastic experience: We go here for the young kids BJJ classes. Renato is probably the best teacher I have ever seen. Great with kids!
Fantastic experience: Great gym for all the ages. My 4yo is doing BJJ under Renato Silva. We are lucky to have a BJJ black belt sansei in Westgate in a easily accessible location. Kids love the classes and they are nicely structured. all the coaches are friendly and easy going. Would recommend this to any parent looking to start their kids with BJJ or kickboxing
Hi Asiri, So glad you and your girl C are enjoying it so far. From all of us at The Combat Centre THANK YOU so much for taking the time to post a review. See you soon
Fantastic experience: This is an AWESOME place for a child's training. They are kind and welcoming and inclusive of all children and parents. You can clearly see they truly care about the kids. Clean facilities, and good clear instruction and teaching by all instructors. My grandson has more confidence and self esteem and self discipline over the last few months. The Combat Centre helps grow kids

Fantastic experience: Started here about three weeks ago, fun environment and everyone is real welcoming and patient. If you’re nervous about starting don’t be like me and take 5 years to actually get in to it, the trial and intro classes are really good.
Hi Conor, we love having you with us. Thanks for your kind words, from all the team at The Combat Centre
Fantastic experience: It's a pleasure! The best gym I've ever seen in New Zealand. The most well organized, professional and super friendly team. Extremely high recommended. ( They know what they're doing )
From all the team at The Combat Centre. Thank you Andre
Positive experience: Great staff and training programs but I don't go in because I can't stand the smell. Bad body odor, from others so hope they can teach there members that you can be sweaty and train but you don't need to stink. It would be nice to have disinfectant sprays etc available so the matts can be wiped down after use because I know members can choose to wear bear feet or shoes. So keeping it clean would be great, and then it would be more inviting for those who have real sensitive noses.
Hi Mary, thanks for your feedback. We have many disinfectant spray bottles and paper towels available for disinfecting equipment and mats etc all around the gym. If you like next time you are in I can show you. Also happy to show you our rigorous daily cleaning schedule. I'm sorry this has been your experience
Fantastic experience: Awesome gym atmosphere, super friendly and supportive community of staff. They have free trial classes for all sports they offer, which is something unique for that gym and was very helpful to me as I wasn’t sure what I would like the most. Really worth giving it a try, you’ll definitely find something for you!
Thanks for your kind words Ivona, it's been a treat getting to know you. From all the team at The Combat Center

They work with all levels and ages, kids as young as 4 years old can learn boxing and jujitsu.
