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 Australia

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

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.
