Welcome to The Academy
We are Perth’s premiere mixed martial arts school.
You won’t find another club like this anywhere in Australia. Setting standards that all clubs hope to follow, we are measured by the results that people achieve while training with us. Our goal is simple – To give you the student a new level of fitness, confidence and an improved lifestyle.
The coaches, Adam Metcalf and Brett Grasso, are the cutting edge on techniques, training methods and how to teach them. Both have travelled overseas to expand their knowledge and improve their skill levels.
Adam Metcalf is Perth's first home grown Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt. Training Australasia’s current State, National and Pan Pacific champions as well as Australia's first and only Female ADCC runner up.
Brett Grasso has trained and fought extensively in Thailand, having travelled there on a regular basis for the last seven years. Brett has produced some of Western Australia's top amateur Muay Thai fighters, with a State Champion in the WKA Welter Weight Division!
Simply by walking into The Academy, you will see that this is no ordinary martial arts centre. Before we continue though, you should know that this school is not for everyone. There are many different martial arts schools, each offering their own benefits, etc. What we are known for, are practical and workable fighting skills based on cutting edge methodologies and learning techniques. We are NOT a traditional martial arts school! We are NOT into speaking foreign languages. We DO NOT teach katas. What we do offer, are cutting edge training methods that allow you to make maximum gains in the shortest possible time. We provide you with real skills that work in the real world - and we do so via a proven method in a safe and fun environment.
