SA Combat Academy

I’ve been practicing Judo and Jiu Jitsu for over a decade, and I can honestly say there is no better place to train than SA Combat Academy. The expertise here is unparalleled, especially with the head coach, South Australia's only Judo Olympian, and his wife, a Commonwealth Games medalist. Their combined experience, skill, and dedication to their students create an environment that's both challenging and supportive. The level of instruction is elite level and the academy offers a perfect blend of Judo and Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai making it ideal for anyone looking to improve their grappling and striking game. What truly sets this place apart, though, is the sense of community—it's not just about training hard but about training smart and developing as both an athlete and a person. I've trained at several gyms over the years, but SA Combat Academy is where I've found my home. The passion and professionalism of the coaches, combined with the incredible caliber of training partners, make this place second to none. If you're serious about your martial arts journey, you won't find a better place to train.

I have been training Judo and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) at the South Australian Combat Academy in Valley View for the past 12 months, and it has been an excellent experience. The academy provides a welcoming and supportive environment, making it an ideal place for both adults and families with children to train. The academy also has a fantastic mat area, which is the best I have seen in Adelaide, with a sprung floor that ensures safety during training. I highly recommend the beginner pack to anyone looking to start their martial arts journey, as it's a great way to get started with high-quality training. Overall, the South Australian Combat Academy is a top-notch facility with experienced instructors and a great community of practitioners. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to learn martial arts.

If you are looking for a martial arts program for kids, I highly recommend this place. My daughter has been doing Judo here for two years and the coaches and program is fantastic. She has learnt real skills from this program. Also there are great facilities and it is a very family friendly club.
