    Garth is an amazing instructor who has so much knowledge and experience and is able to communicate effectively for anyone with any experience from beginners and above. If your thinking about giving it a go no better place to start with amazing instructors on hand as well as amazing sense of community training with the locals and skills learnt that will help you in future

    At Urban Kombat, you’re going to find a supreme combination of fun, fitness, self defence training and challenge. It’s delivered by a friendly crew with decades of experience. Recommended for all ages groups.

    I find the classes a supportive and good way to learn Krav Maga. As a beginner to any form of martial arts I looked around and found reviews about Urban Kombat. I have learned alot in a relatively short period of time. Thank you

    Thoroughly enjoyed the class and learnt incredible skills that boosted my confidence when it comes to self-defense. Highly recommend the training! The students are friendly, welcoming and helpful. Garth is an experienced trainer that has the ability to break techniques down, making them easier to practice and learn. Thanks so much Garth!

    Just what I was looking for: fun, functional and a good motivator to get fit! Garth is friendly and professional, and great at helping people explore whatever level they're at (I started as an absolute beginner) in a safe and fun way. Highly recommended!

    I've found these classes to be incredibly informative and practical. As someone who hadn't done team sports or contact sport I was apprehensive about joining as I didn't want to get hurt. What I found was a group of people helping each other out, learning together and having a good time.

    My son started with Krav Juniors when he was just 6 years old and has now achieved 4 belts in the process. Garth has been a great mentor and teacher for him and its only that we are moving interstate we are leaving Urban Kombat. My son is keen to continue his journey of Krav Maga the sport when we move all thanks to his experience at Krav Juniors.

    Had a great time learning Krav Maga at urban kombat with Gareth. Learnt some awesome techniques for self defence which are very useful for real life situations you might encounter.

    Such an awesome experience to be training with Garth. He's a brilliant instructor and really knows how to get the best out of you. Am fitter and feeling stronger, not to mention more confident in my own Krav capability! The group was so welcoming. No ego BS. Just a great group of people all working hard to get better and get results. If you're looking to train Krav, this is the school to join, and Garth is the teacher you want. You won't regret it. Highly recommended.

    After joining Urban Kombat just over half a year ago I feel like I've gained a tonne of experience from Garth's knowledgeable and fun classes, it's also a great form of cardio. As a beginner in any form of martial arts I've picked up important self defence life skills from krav maga that has brought me a lot more confidence in everyday life. Garth has been an absolutely excellent instructor and the classes are always very welcoming and filled with really nice people, everyone is very supportive of each other in the hopes that we all improve. I would highly recommend joining Urban Kombat for anyone considering krav maga and I look forward to continuing to learn and build on my skills. Kida.

    Urban Kombat in Marrickville is a friendly and supportive environment to learn Krav Maga. Regardless of your experience level, there is always something to learn from Garth. Completing the gradings from P1-P5 is also an extremely rewarding experience. Garth inspires confidence and he knows his craft very well. He is an amazing instructor and always strives to bring the best out of people. The students are very supportive of each other.

    Garth's a friendly teacher with a knack for making a tricky-looking sequence easy to understand and perform. The class is full of regulars who are all really fun, friendly, and keen to help get you up to speed. Wish I wasn't leaving the area, I'll really miss Urban Kombat!

  • 5/5 Danan T. 3 years ago on Google
    Really enjoyed and learnt a lot from the classes. I came in completely new knowing nothing about self defence and learnt effective ways to defend against myself from a variety of different scenarios taught by Garth. The combos get easier over time and I did experience getting fitter and more agile. It's completely beginner-friendly and I would recommend it to anyone.

  • 5/5 Hernan V. 6 years ago on Google
    I enjoy attending Garth's classes. He does warm ups and post class stretches which in my opinion are vital. He caters for most age groups and fitness levels. There are times when we get pushed, but come main self defense mode, they are useful for real life scenarios and situations. I recommend anyone who wishes to get fit and learn how to deal with potential threats, and in some cases save your life. Keep up the good work Garth.

    Garth is a fantastic trainer and the cohort is very friendly and a wonderfully diverse group of people. Super welcoming and made me (an absolute beginner) feel at home straightaway. Great place to train in the inner west.

  • 5/5 Brad C. 2 years ago on Google
    Garth is a great teacher and leader- very welcoming, supportive and motivating. The course is able to be followed by all levels of competency and is highly recommended for anyone wanting a mix of fitness, movement and confidence.

  • 5/5 Andrea S. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice group of people, they me feel part of the group from the beginning. Garth is very skilled instructor, I wish I had more time to learn from him.

  • 5/5 Christopher C. 1 year ago on Google
    I recommend all to come and join Krav Maga. Instructor Garth is very knowledgable, thorough and articulate in the classes. I get to train with friendly peers from all skill levels and experiences. Being a complete beginner in martial arts/self defence, I have seen solid progress in my short few months training and going through the grading process! Give it a go!

🫤 This is the rating for boxing, which is of really mediocre quality. Only around 3 classes a week, overcrowded, and very slow progression (you must spend at least 8 weeks on the bags. what’s the point of not doing technical exercises - not sparring, exercises)? Anyway, besides that the staff is very...
