    Best gym in town. Something for everyone at any stage of their self defense journey. The best thing about FMC? The people. The trainers (josh Julian and Alex) are all great capable people and do an excellent job of reading the room to help make sure everyone is focused, but also able to enjoy themselves comfortably as well. In my experience gym members are welcoming and help to create a great vibe that is unmatched elsewhere. Want to lay low and train? no problem. Want to be part of an excellent gym filled with great people pushing each other to improve and helping one another along the way? Even better! Get involved! OSS!

    The trainers are absolutely amazing, super friendly and encouraging in every way possible. This is the first gym I've ever signed up to and I've got to say it's perfect. Whether or not you have a martial arts background there's always something new to learn. Even if you don't fancy doing some high intensity workout there are plenty of options to take on a strength class or just use the gym equipment available for all! And the best part? The atmosphere is amazing, everyone is really friendly welcoming and encouraging! You definitely won't regret it!

    Trainers are very professional as well as efficient. They understand how to tailor classes to class size and diversity as well as skill level. It’s a welcoming environment if you’ve never been exposed to fighting as well as an ideal facility to advance your existing level fast. Excellent gym setup/ equipment/ showers also, and 24/7 access

    These guys are really authentic and offer world class coaching. I deeply appreciate the time they take to guide each student to the next level no matter the skill level. Highly recommend training here.

    I joined fmc December 2017 after going through i really hard time in my life. A friend suggested i do a trial at this martial arts gym that offer krav maga, i had never heard of krav before. I was a bit nervous I thought it would be a male dominated gym and i would end up feeling uncomfortable. I had no clue what i was doing but having Josh there i didnt feel like i need to know anything. Josh took his time to go over to every pair and help out. that day i went im for trail krav class i ended up staying for kick boxing. I loved it! Over the coming months i was doing krav maga, kick boxing and Brazilian jiu jitsu. 2 years later i can honestly say this isnt just a gym this is my second home. I love that i have a family at fmc. I honestly cant thank the trainers enough for all the time and effort they put in every day. nice to see people so passionate about thier work. Although i think they love it too much to call it work. Thank you Josh, you are one of a kind. Thanks Alex, knee surgery or not you're still out there on the mats and thank you Lele, for the extra pad work you do with me before class

    I have been with FMC for a few months. I really like the gym. It's a great gym as you can see from the rating. The culture there is great. Very friendly environment. It's truly an enjoyable thing to do the trainings/classes in FMC. Josh is a fantastic trainer. He puts 100 percent in his classes also makes it fun for students to learn. I enjoyed every class I attended in FMC. Thanks Josh for your brilliant teaching🙏💪Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!^^

    This gym is simply incredible, there's a really nice gym and the self defense classes are extremely accessible for everyone of any athletic capability. The chief instructor, Josh, is an all round great guy and has such a great understanding of Krav Maga. I can't recommend this gym enough for anyone that would like to dip their toes in self defense.

    Fitness classes. MMA classes. Heaps of class times to choose from. Instructors have a passion for their craft shown through their knowledge and focus on technique. At each level you are constantly learning. Sociable and friendly. Classes are fun. Learn vital skills to defend yourself or how the owner/trainer Josh said it..”punch face with love!!”..while keeping your fitness up. No prior experience needed. Anytime gym access for members. All up FMC is boss 👊

    Amazing gym with awesome instructors. Josh creates a very welcoming environment and always keeps me comfortable - even during sometimes challenging training situations! Can't imagine a better place to learn martial arts and self defence.

  • 5/5 Mark K. 4 years ago on Google • 3 reviews
    FMC is an amazing place where not only have I learnt how to defend myself, I've done it in a safe and fun environment. I've been able to meet people from all walks of lives, backgrounds and ages which has really enriched my journey of self defense and fitness. Also as a gay Asian man I have always felt safe, welcome and accepted at FMC. The feeling there between members is closer to family than people that just gym and practise together. I'm very greatful to Josh, Nathan, Alex, and Lee Lee for leading and guiding us as a group and helping in fostering and creating this feeling.

    I've been training at FMC for about a year, and I highly recommend this gym. Josh has provided real-life knowledge on how to defend ourselves through realistic situations, through Krav Maga, and has continually improved my confidence in sparring through Kickboxing. Julian continually challenges us mentally and physically through his 30 minute cross training classes. Thanks for continually creating an atmosphere of family and acceptance. Can not highly recommend this gym enough!

    I joined last December and started with no background in martial arts or any form of fighting; it was definitely an intimidating thought for me at first, however once I visited the gym and had my first class, my mindset was changed. The instructors are well experienced and are more than welcoming - not only do they help everyone get the most out of each class, they also motivate you to want to improve. There's great energy in every class, making you feel energised and look forward to the following one. The best quality about FMC is that they welcome all demographics: every level of experience, a wide age range, and provide a comfortable training environment for all. I also believe that the pricing is great for such quality classes in a convenient location.

    Excellent gym at a great location. It has a great atmosphere (“Leave your ego at the door”) and everyone is just about improving themselves and others. No room for macho BS posturing here. Multiple classes means there is something for everyone. The instructors are all very skilled and supportive. In particular, Josh has helped me transition my traditional martial arts background into effective striking techniques.
