FAQ
Everything you'd want to ask first.
If your question isn't here, call us on 0468 253 270. We would much rather answer it than have you talk yourself out of a first class.
Getting started
Getting started
Do I need any experience to join?
None. Every program is taught from the fundamentals, and coaches expect beginners in the room.
How do I book a free trial class?
Use any 'Book a free trial class' button on this site — they all go to the same GymMaster page — or call 0468 253 270. GymMaster is the only booking system we use.
Is the free trial a class or a week?
A class. It is a single free class, not a free week of training.
What should I wear to my first class?
Comfortable sportswear — shorts or leggings and a t-shirt or rashguard. Avoid zips, buttons and pockets. Bring a water bottle.
What ages do you teach?
Kids classes in BJJ, Muay Thai and wrestling are for ages 5–12. Every other class on the timetable is an adult class. For teenagers, call 0468 253 270 and we'll recommend a class.
Do the kids coaches have a Working with Children Check?
Yes. All of our kids coaches hold a Working with Children Check.
Programs and classes
Programs and classes
Which martial arts do you teach?
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, Mixed Martial Arts and wrestling, plus women-only MMA and Muay Thai classes, and kids classes in BJJ, Muay Thai and wrestling.
Can I train in more than one discipline?
Yes — many members cross-train. Plans are set by how many classes you attend each week. If you're joining a kids or women's class, check with us which plan suits.
How often should I train?
Two or three sessions a week is a good starting point. It gives you enough repetition to progress while your body adapts.
Do you have women-only classes?
Yes: Women's MMA, led by Nikolija Milosevic, and Women's Muay Thai, led by Johana Reyes Lagos.
Do I have to compete?
No. Competing is optional. If you're interested, talk to your coach.

How much notice do I need to give?
One week's written notice, to pause or to cancel, emailed to info@marrickvillemartialartsclub.com.au.
How long can I pause my membership for?
A maximum of three months. To pause, email info@marrickvillemartialartsclub.com.au with one week's written notice.
I'm injured. Do I still need to give notice?
Yes. Being injured doesn't remove the need to give one week's written notice to pause or cancel.
Can I backdate a cancellation or get a refund for past weeks?
No. Retrospective (backdated) cancellations and retrospective refunds are not accepted.
What's the difference between a membership and the Five-Class Pack?
