Kickboxing Muay Thai

Kickboxing is a stand-up combat sport based on kicking and punching, historically developed from karate mixed with boxing. Kickboxing is practiced for self-defence, general fitness, or as a contact sport.

Kickboxing is a good fitness choice for those looking to burn calories for weight loss, or to improve stamina and heart health. Kickboxing is considered a low -or high-impact, high-intensity workout. Beginners are advised to begin slowly. Listen to your body and take water breaks when you need them.

Kickboxing involves aerobic and anaerobic exercise, both of which positively impact mood. It does this by increasing endorphins and producing changes in the part of the brain that can improve stress, anxiety, and depression.

Boxing

Boxing is a combat sport in which two people wearing protective gloves and other protective equipment such as hand wraps and mouthguards, throw punches at each other for a predetermined amount of time in a boxing ring.

Boxing is a high impact cardio workout that offers a significant calorie burn. Cardio boxing workouts burn more calories than other types of cardiovascular exercise. A typical boxing session can burn up to 1000 calorie.

Ground Combatives / BJJ

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu “BJJ” is a sport that will give you a complete workout. You will work all your muscles,  your heart and your lungs. You will also feel your muscles aching, your skin toughening, your fingers getting stronger all while your body starts to adapt to the sport.

Brazilian Jiu-Jjitsu is a grappling based martial arts and combat sport based on grappling learning skills of ground fighting, controlling and resisting opponents in forcing submission holds.

Brazilian JiuJitsu focuses on getting an opponent to the ground in order to neutralize possible strength or size advantages through ground fighting techniques and submission holds involving joint-locks and chokeholds. On the ground, physical strength can be offset or enhanced through proper grappling techniques.

Brazilian JiuJitsu teaches you how to use your legs to control a stronger opponent and increases your flexibility to escape a difficult confrontation. Every time you train, you are challenged both mentally and physically. BJJ boosts your fitness and works for all body types.

Greg Cox has been practicing Martial Arts from the age of 12 starting with karate then progressing to Kickboxing in his late teens early 20s. In his mid-20s to early 30s he went onto boxing. After starting a young family Greg made his way into Original Boot Camp adapting quickly to the intensity & discipline in this field. Seeing the importance of Self Defence for a family environment he then found his way to MMA & Zen Do Kai free style karate,

While keeping the intensity going from boot camp he also trained in Muay Thai / Kickboxing. Through using these as ways to also stay fit he was soon to come across Krav Maga noticing this as one of the most efficient & functional street survival defence disciplines today. Seeing this as not just a Self-defence but a Family-defence system Greg continues to follow this path & endures to move forward with an open mind continuously progressing to adapt to today’s ever changing society.


Dale’s Martial arts story to this point: 6 years ago while sitting watching my son train I was encouraged to “have a go” this was very confronting at first but I soon gained a passion for the sport and art.

Krav Maga was the style that interested me the most seeing it as the most effective street defence. Gaining the first step of yellow belt in 2015. This was the trigger for training consistently over the next 5 years. Then in November 2019 awarded my Black Belt. One of my most satisfying achievements in life not just martial arts. Along the way also grading in Muay Thai, and currently Brown Singlet.

Training and helping like minded club members to achieve their goals is another immensely satisfying bonus! The journey continues…


I have been seriously involved in various styles of martial arts for the past 15 years – including boxing, Taekwondo, BJJ, Muay Thai and Krav Maga.

Achieving black belts in Taekwondo and Krav Maga, and a brown band in Muay Thai are some of the hardest but most fulfilling tasks I have undertaken.

In 2013 and 2014 I competed in the State titles for BJJ winning two gold and one silver medal.

Over the past four years my son has also been training in martial arts. I am fortunate to be able to assist the club with coaching the kids. Being a part of the kids’ journeys in martial arts is a very rewarding experience and one I am thankful to be a part of.


My journey in martial arts. I have been training now for 15 years. During this time graded to 3rd Dan in Zen do Kai free style Karate & was honoured the title of Sensei with in that art.

Also achieving two Black Belts in Krav Maga with different clubs, studying under two systems . Fortunate enough to travel interstate and locally to attend courses with some of Australia’s leading experts in this field .

Recently attending a three day seminar with world renowned Israeli Krav International instructor Moshe Katz.

I’ve graded to brown band in Muay Thai Kickboxing and recently taking up Brazilian Jujitsu to continue my journey in learning and teaching others the art of self defence.
