Class Information
As vitally important as great instruction is to your progress,
it’s also heavily influenced by the people you train with
– your fellow students.
Our students at Advance have an incredible breadth and depth
of experience in the martial arts, and come from all walks
of life. Like our instructors, you’ll find them to be most
welcoming and friendly, always ready to offer helpful advice
and answer any questions, and will also show you the utmost
care and courtesy.
In addition to all of the great training, we regularly hold
social activities and outings for our members.
Our Classes follow one simple rule: we teach only what works
in the real world.
What we practice and teach is based on the realities of the
world around us--logic, science, and practical experience.
We aim to, like Bruce Lee famously said:
“Absorb what is useful, reject what is useless.”
The Advance Martial Arts class program draws on a range of
arts and influences that follow the above philosophy. Our
primary goal in training is to promote development of technical
ability and understanding in a well rounded set of real world
self-defence skills. A by-product of our training is fantastic
new level in all aspects of your health and fitness!
Our fulltime centre boasts an incredible array of training
times for people with busy lives. The AMA schedule has
classes 7 DAYS A WEEK--daytimes, afternoons, and evenings.

Brazilian Jiujitsu
|
Brazilian Jiujitsu or BJJ is a highly practical system of grappling that’s
based on the simple fact that the vast majority or real
world altercations end up on the ground.
Unlike other styles, BJJ is geared towards placing
your opponent in finishing holds (submission) (chokes
and joint locks) rather than pinning or holding. BJJ
practitioners are able to use their technical skill
and application of good leverage to beat a significantly
larger and stronger opponent. In this case, knowledge
really is power!
For more information on BJJ’s origins and history in Australia
check out the homepage of the oldest and largest group
in the country, and the body with which Advance Martial
Arts is affiliated BJJ

The Advance training mat boasts the greatest depth
of coloured belts, and the longest running experience
of any BJJ school in Queensland.

Muay Thai
Advance Muay Thai Classes combine techniques from
Boxing and Thai kickboxing in a way that
will have you both super fit and packing a punch… plus
kicks, elbows, and knees!
We’ll teach you how to use your hands, feet, elbows
and knees as striking weapons and more importantly how
to defend yourself.
All of this is done through engaging and challenging
solo and partner drills that will see you using all
kinds of bags, pads, and other special training equipment.
Train like professional fighters do in a safe, fun and
friendly environment.
At the very same time, prepare to also see your cardiovascular
fitness, strength, speed, endurance, and flexibility
all go through the roof. We’ll take you as far as you
want to go…fitter than you’ve ever been before.
Muay Thai Class Times
Mon 12-1pm & 8-9pm/ Tue 8-9pm
Wed 12-1pm & 7-8pm/ Thu 7-8pm

Wrestling
| Advance Wrestling Classes combine the
Olympic sports of Greco-Roman and Freestyle Wrestling.
In our classes you’ll learn all of the throws and takedowns
of these dynamic arts.
With wrestling skills you’ll be able to put your opponent
right where you want them – down on the ground while
you stand safely on your feet.
We employ the same training methods that are used in
elite wrestling schools worldwide. The kind of conditioning
that will develop explosive strength, fitness and work
out muscles you thought never existed!

Mixed Martial Arts
|
Be a complete Martial Artist--a Mixed Martial Artist!
To defend yourself effectively you need to be skilled
in all aspects of fighting--striking and grappling,
standing, and while on the ground. Mixed Martial Arts or MMA
teaches all of these things. What gives the term its meaning
is what component parts go into its make-up.
In Advance MMA we combine the best techniques from
a variety of different martial arts to form the most
effective self defence system possible. The predominate
components of our MMA classes are actually the three
previously described styles and class types--Muay Thai, Wrestling, and BJJ.
- Muay Thai skills for striking and defence against
strikes on our feet
- Wrestling to take our opponent down or defend their
takedowns
- BJJ to finish the fight on the ground or defend against
strikes there
We use the most fundamental and highly effective techniques
of these three styles in our MMA training. Whilst those
separate classes have more scope to go into greater
depth in parts, putting them all together is an art
unto itself.
If you want all round martial arts skills to defend
yourself at each of these different ranges we highly
recommend you train in as many of the other classes
as you can, then bring it all together with MMA!
MMA Class Times
Fundamentals: Tue & Thu 6-7pm
Open: Tue, Thu & Sat 12-1pm/ Mon & Wed 8-9pm

Kids & Junior Classes
Advance Kids and Junior Classes are a great way to
get your children involved in martial arts and will
give them all of the many benefits that our expert training
brings.
We have two separate and differently structured classes
to provide the greatest possible development and engagement
for children of different ages:
- Kids at 3 to 7 years of age
- Juniors at 8 to 14 years of age
Our aim is not just to give your children the most
practical self-defence skills available and to improve
their general health and fitness, but also to help instil
in them the discipline, respect, self-confidence, and
sense of satisfaction in learning they need to succeed
in life.
Kids Class Times
Mon & Wed 4:20-5pm/ Sat 10:20-11am
Junior Class Times
Mon, Wed & Thu 5-6pm/ Sat 11-12noon

Open Mat Training
Open Mat Training times are available for all of
our adult students of BJJ, Muay Thai, Wrestling, and MMA.
Unlike the regularly scheduled formal classes conducted
in these styles, our open mat times offer students an
opportunity at a more self-directed approach.
In these sessions, you can come and go as you please,
decide what you want to practice, and who you’d like
to train with. Take charge of your development!
Whilst these aren’t formal classes our qualified instructors
and senior students are still always present to ensure
the safety of students, and to offer advice and help
with training.
Open Mat Times
Upstairs: Fri 6-9pm, Sat 2-4pm, Sun 1-4pm

Private Lessons with our experienced instructors
are a fantastic way to greatly accelerate your understanding
and skill development.
This kind of training allows us even more so to cater
to your individual needs. Whether our regular
class times don’t suit your current schedule, or there is
something specific that you would like to learn, or maybe
you are the kind of person that benefits more from one-on-one
teaching, we’ll move you ahead in leaps and bounds.
Private Lessons available upon request.
