What our students & parents say
Great coaches and friendly environment- my daughter and I train there, it's a safe environment to build confidence and discipline for kids. Highly recommend James and Kobie!
An amazing gym with a huge variety of classes tailored for kids of all ages. The coaches are incredibly friendly, patient, and skilled at creating a positive and engaging learning environment for the kids. They make every session both fun and educational, and you can see the kids grow in confidence and a love for martial arts. Our kids love it! Highly recommend for families looking for supportive and well-structured martial arts classes!
This is a great gym that has all the right values we want to instill in our three young children, teaching them about discipline, having confidence in themselves and building important skills that will put them in good stead as they continue to grow. This is a gym that has great experts who also care about having a supportive, family-oriented environment for our children to thrive. The adult offerings are fantastic too with experienced instructors and a flexible timetable with many class options. Definitely recommend this to anyone!
A new gym, but experienced coaches who are fantastic with the children. My daughter started a few weeks ago and has been wanting to attend every day. The coaches are encouraging and I am seeing her skills and confidence grow. The gym is neat and clean, with plenty of parking at the back.
Equinox gym is a very welcoming and encouraging environment to learn martial arts. With super friendly and experienced coaches, great facilities and the opportunity to try multiple different sports, I highly recommend Equinox (especially for girls wanting to try martial arts)
Great club. No egos on the mats. Experienced instructors. Both I and my son train there. Good variety of all belt levels to roll with.
High level and amazing coaches that mentored me from white to blue. I highly recommend this school for anyone looking to improve their skills in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu while being part of a fantastic community in Sydney. One of the reasons I'm disappointed at moving for work is leaving this community. Thanks Kobi, James and the team.

Amazing coaches and great vibes
Amazing coaching from James and Kobi, clean facilities and just a really awesome community of jits enthusiasts!
My two girls and I love Equinox Martial Arts Academy. I have a 4 year old and a 6 year old, and both look forward to their classes every week. The coaches are fantastic - very knowledgeable but also fun and inviting. The gym has a real fun, family-friendly/community feel but is also highly technical and delivers on developing martial art technique. Lots of experience on the mat, but also good for newbies - I recently joined the adults Muay Thai classes and love it for fitness and the challenge of trying something new. Would highly recommend.
My son loves this gym, he would go every day if we let him! The coaches and staff are so dedicated, friendly and knowledgeable. They are amazing and patient with the kids of all ages. The gym offers flexible and interesting classes across the week for kids and adults and is a great environment for my son to learn the discipline and life lessons that martial arts can offer.
The Coach had our young son engaged and very happily participating the whole time. He loved it so much he did two classes! It’s a great gym with a very welcoming vibe. Highly recommend anyone looking for an inclusive place to learn martial arts to check it out.
Our kids really enjoy BJJ here! They like the instructors because they really pay attention to every child and make them feel included. Very friendly vibes
Coaches are friendly and help develop your skills. Mixed gender classes. New bags, mits, equipment and mats. Very clean facilities. Gym culture is welcoming for beginners and kids. Activity room upstairs to keep siblings occupied. Recommend talking to any of the staff if interested in martial arts. Lots of parking behind at 175 Lower Gibbes St.
I love dropping my kids off for their classes while I sneak off to Pilates next door. I know they are in a safe place with highly qualified and experienced instructors. Koby and the team are amazing, I would highly recommend signing up for a free intro class. Its a great location with plenty of parking, next door to Club Pilates Roseville.
Great people and a very welcoming attitude from staff and members alike. Everyone from 4 to 64 is made welcome and the training is at your intensity. No prior experience is required and I started when I was 60 and now go six days a week
I came to visit Equinox when I visited Sydney from San Francisco - everyone was super welcoming and friendly, the facilities and mat spaces were clean and professional, and the coaches have an amazing understanding of jiu jitsu with the ability to teach all levels and ages!!
Great martial arts gym, nice and clean, great instructors with a friendly and welcoming attitude. My child loves going to train here!
My 5yo daughter and 8yo son love Equinox Academy. It's a warm and friendly environment for them and I would recommend it to any other parents.
