I've had a spectacular first week at Taipan Muaythai in Marrickville so far. I have been kick…read moreboxing for 6 months now & have been looking for a Muaythai specific gym over the last month or so. A friend & training partner of mine put me onto Taipan in Marrickville & this first week has been exceptional. The guys there know their stuff back to front, with many of the trainers having extensive international fighting experience. They run experienced & beginners classes at 5:30pm & 6:30pm Monday to Friday and what a session it is, I have never sweat so much in my life. The guys there are very technical, picking up on small areas I could improve on almost instantly. They run a very thorough session combining skipping, shadow sparring, pad work, sparring, clinch work & conditioning all within an hour session. The gym is a brilliant a size, equipped with a full ring, 6 heavy bags, room to skip & shadow spar and a separate, fully inclusive weights room. The facilities are open for use for all members and guests. The rates are very affordable, at $20 per casual giving you unlimited access on classes & the gym for the entirety of your stay during opening hours for that day. A membership will get you unlimited classes between Monday - Saturday with full access to the gym, all for a very affordable $35 a week. Whether it's fitness, a new style of gym that doesn't involve the boring old weight sets, a new challenge, or you have a passion for Muaythai or kickboxing in general, then I highly recommend that you come and visit Taipan Muaythai. Whether it be in Mortdale, Marrickville, Campbelltown or Bondi, you'll be met with friendly staff, great facilities & a workout you'll not only remember but will be aching to do again!

I've been going to Wyllie for 4 years and in that time have made some amazing friends, the other students are the second thing you should consider and these guys are all just fantastic. The dojang itself is relatively well appointed, it's is a permanent training space so has more niceties then a converted hall. Tournament padded floors, plenty of kick bags, crash mats, kick shields and various other hurty looking things are all in easy reach. They've also recently started branching out a little, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu on Saturday afternoon is highly recommended!

Mike is a great instructor and takes his time teaching and correcting everyone - extremely personalized and welcoming environment!

Highly recommended!

When I was younger, my brother started attending karate lessons. Being the strange child that I…read morewas, I wanted to copy him and join in as well. So, 2 years later, I joined the beginner karate class at Key Martial Arts (known as Freestyle Martial Arts Academy at the time). I've being doing karate here for 4 years now, and it has been awesome. The instructors are great people, with at least one of them being a tournament champion. In the style of karate taught here (Kenpo), you do a grading at the end of each term (10 weeks or so) to see if you will qualify for the next degree/belt. There is also a holiday schedule available for the people who want to keep training in the holidays *cough* me *cough*. If you have done (I think) at least 6 lessons in one holiday, you have the opportunity to do an extra grading. I managed to do one of these, so I gained a new level at the end of the holidays. Even with the extra grading, it has taken me 4 years to get to junior black belt rank, and I can't move up any more until I reach the age of 16, where I'm eligible to earn my senior black belt. Between my brother and myself, I think we've been to classes at five different locations around Sydney, not counting any of the in-school and external tournaments that we've done. Thanks to an advanced, invite only class, my brother and I were also on the Demonstration Team for one of these tournaments. That was an incredible experience, that was then made better by us competing afterwards, using skills and sparring techniques that had been taught to us by the experienced and professional instructors of Key Martial Arts. Basically: the school's great, the instructors are really nice and helpful, and it's well worth looking at the website and at least doing a trial class.

Jason is an excellent teacher with a very easy communication style that ensures comprehension of even the most complex techniques. His energy is infectious which is great because I have never once finished a class with an ounce left to give. I'm not sure how someone who seems so nice is able to push people to their limits like that, but there you go. Classes are usually small meaning you get lots of personal attention and also easily make some new friends! I'd highly recommend anyone interested in personal fitness and self defence to check it out!
