A martial arts academy for everyone

Great family-owned martial arts academy with a welcoming atmosphere. Our kids gained confidence, coordination, discipline and had a lot of fun with the instructors at Equinox.

Equinox is not just a gym, it's almost like an extended family for us. Big thank you for providing a safe, fun and enjoyable environment for us to chill out and learn practical life-skills in a professional manner. All the coaches are super friendly and approachable. Keep up with your good work; looking forward to grow with you!

A great martial arts gym with clean and modern equipment. The staff are extremely friendly and the coaches are experienced and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Equinox to anyone looking to start a martial art.

I can’t recommend Equinox highly enough if you’ve never tried martial arts before, want to give your kids a head start or you’re an experienced martial artist that wants a great team. It’s in a great location - 1 minute from High St Shops - the facility is clean, the coaches are top notch and the atmosphere is welcoming, plus there is tonnes of parking.

I highly recommend Equinox - James and Kobi run a phenomenal program and have a really great culture of learning, care and community.

I’ve been training under Head Coach James for ~5 years now, and it’s been an incredible journey. James brings out the best in everyone, no matter your fitness level or experience. What sets this gym apart is the strong sense of community. We train together across all ages and backgrounds, and there’s a real feeling of support and encouragement, including an impressive kids class!

I've been training Ju Jitsu with coach James for 4 years. Only form of exercise I've ever been able to stick to. Equinox is an awesome community of people and the skill level here is elite. Both my 3 and 5 year old are also doing classes now and love it. Great to see them learn a skill and taking direction.

Joined Equinox from another gym when I was looking for a new gym closer to home. The Jiu-Jitsu coaches are all incredibly knowledgeable and are able to explain the techniques in a way that's easy to understand. The striking classes are as good as the Jiu-Jitsu. I have just started joining the striking classes, and the coaches will tailor the class to your level while still pushing you to get better. I have and will continue to recommend this gym.

Amazing coaching from James and Kobi, clean facilities and just a really awesome community of jits enthusiasts!

Fun classes, great atmosphere and the coaches are all so friendly and awesome! Love this gym!

Great martial arts gym. Coaches are experienced, facility is clean and brand new, plenty of free parking. No egos, a non-intimidating, friendly place with staff who know their stuff and really care about you individually, your learning and progression. A great community they’ve created too.

I couldn’t recommend Equinox highly enough. I’ve been to a few gyms while living in various cities and Equinox is the one that felt the most like a family. High quality coaching, respectful and skilled training partners and a great vibe - Equinox is genuinely a world class gym!

Dedicated coaches and great training partners at Equinox. I started my martial arts journey here. It is a very welcoming environment with high level coaches that care about your development and encouraging, friendly training partners. Training here is always the highlight of my week.

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.

Exceptional martial art classes. My 2 daughters (5 and 12) love the homeschool class they offer. The teachers and owners are very patient and supportive. A very positive and knowledgeable environment. I would recommend this academy to everyone.

My daughter attended the school holiday program at Equinox Martial Arts Academy, having never done martial arts before and absolutely loved it! The team was incredibly supportive and welcoming, helping her feel confident as she tried activities like Jiujitsu and Muay Thai. We’ll definitely be signing up for the next school holiday program and are even considering regular kids’ martial arts classes in the near future. Highly recommend Equinox Martial Arts Academy for any parents looking for a fun, engaging, and safe introduction to martial arts.

Our 6-year-old daughter attended the two-day school holiday program at Equinox Martial Arts Academy in Chatswood and absolutely loved it! She had never done martial arts or Jiujitsu before and was quite apprehensive about trying something new. She wasn’t sure what to expect. But even after the very first session, she came home beaming, talking about the fun games, the new moves, and how she learned some Jiujitsu and Muay Thai. She asked to keep going back. The instructors were fantastic, kind, patient, and great with kids. It was a wonderful introduction to martial arts in a safe, supportive, and encouraging environment. We’ll definitely be back!

My daughter attended the holiday program at Equinox Martial Arts and had the most incredible time! The staff were friendly, highly skilled, and made her feel completely at ease. She came home happy and slept like a dream that night. Highly recommended!

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.

Great gym for all levels - family owned, with a very welcoming environment for all. The Jiu jitsu in particular is top level! James and Kobi are experienced coaches - not only are they well trained in breaking down complex techniques but also provide a fun and supportive environment to train in. I've always felt welcomed under their leadership and enjoyed the new martial arts experience I've had with them.

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.

Fun, engaging and technical Brazilian Jiu-jitsu classes. The right vibe and community is the most challenging thing to get right with a martial arts gym, and Equinox is a great example, where everyone from the low to high belts are friendly which creates a fun environment to learn and get fit.

Highly recommended. Most of all[,] the coaches are professional and friendly and so much fun [...] for the kids. My kids have learnt so much.

I really love coming to this gym, super fun very polite staff, recommend to anyone who is seeking a welcoming Jiu Jitsu community.

The best martial arts gym in Chatswood! My grandkids attend the kids’ Jiu-Jitsu classes and Muay Thai classes at Equinox Martial Arts Academy, and I absolutely love watching them have fun, build confidence, and develop new skills. The coaches are incredibly patient and supportive, creating a positive space for kids to learn self-discipline, respect, and teamwork. It’s the perfect place for children to grow through Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Muay Thai in a safe, structured, and encouraging environment. Highly recommend for any family looking for a top-quality martial arts program in Chatswood!

Great martial arts gym, nice and clean, great instructors with a friendly and welcoming attitude. My child loves going to train here!

Great gym to train Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai. The coaches are experienced and have created a fun, welcoming environment.

We always train here when we visit Sydney. Lovely vibe and great if you have young kids! mum can roll while the kids play in the awesome kids room which is visible right in front of the mats. As a woman In the sport, I definitely feel safe, looked after and get some greats rolls in with everyone here.

Great gym and atmosphere

Friendly martial arts gym with quality facilities and coaches!

Coaches are amazing, especially for kids!

Amazing experience… must join to stay fit

My wife, my kids (daughter and son) and I have all trained under James and Kobi and have loved every minute of it. Whether prepping for competitions, helping your child build confidence, or learning self defence for women, the team are skilled and supportive. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Equinox to anything thinking about combat arts!

Wonderful, supportive team of professors, coaches, and administrative staff! They care about their students' personal journeys and their personal successes, not just awards on the mantle (though this is absolutely celebrated too!). Great coaching that helps you reach levels you didn't even know you were capable of. Highly recommend.

Great mixed martial arts academy for the whole family to learn BJJ, Muay Thai or MMA. Very experienced coaches, in a very welcoming, supportive and friendly environment.

Equinox Martial Arts Academy is by far the best academy to train in Chatswood. Especially if you're looking for a place with a friendly and welcoming vibe. James has a great coaching style that can cater for all levels whether you're a beginner or you're an advanced martial artist.

James is an excellent coach. Whether you're considering getting your kids into a new activity or starting your own martial arts journey, you won't regret having James guide you.

I’ve really enjoyed training at Equinox. The classes are well-structured, with a solid curriculum and thoughtful time distribution between instruction, drilling, and rolling. There's a great mix of student skill levels, which makes it easy to learn from others whether you're just starting out or more experienced. The gym is always clean, and the atmosphere is welcoming. Last but not least the instructors are friendly, approachable, and always willing to help — it’s clear they’re invested in everyone’s progress.

Exceptional martial arts gym - James, Kobe and all the instructors have created a really friendly and encouraging environment. My son and I look forward to our weekly classes as we continue our Jiu Jitsu journey. Highly recommended!

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!

Equinox is the real deal. James, Kobi, and the wider team have built something special - a gym with top-tier coaching, an awesome crew, and a friendly, welcoming vibe for all levels. Whether you’re just starting out or chasing high-level competitive sparring, this is the place!! Couldn’t recommend it more.

James and Kobi have built an incredible gym that caters to people of all skill levels. All the coaches are knowledgeable and there's a great sense of community. I would highly recommend this place to anyone interested in trying out martial arts.

Great coaches and great training environment

Excellent gym for beginners and advanced in the Chatswood area, family owned and not a franchise like many others in the area. The Coaches are knowledgeable and welcoming with many years experience for both Kids and Adults. Long history in the area with a senior student base!

Equinox Academy has truly exceeded my expectations. From day one, the coaches have been incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and supportive. They create such a welcoming environment that makes you feel comfortable regardless of your experience level. Every session is well-structured, challenging, and fun, and you really feel yourself improving each week. What I especially appreciate is how the coaches take the time to explain techniques clearly and are always happy to answer questions. Whether you're just starting out or looking to take your training to the next level, this place is an amazing choice!

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!

I’ve trained with James and Kobe in the past and was excited to see them open their own gym. The space reflects their technical skill, professionalism, and passion for jiu-jitsu. The atmosphere is welcoming, and it’s a great place for anyone looking to learn and grow in the sport.

It’s always a little daunting when you walk into a new and unfamiliar gym, especially a martial arts academy. Not only is the quality of coaching great across the board, but you will be hard pressed to find two more welcoming and genuinely kind people as Kobi and James. Couldn’t recommend this place more :)

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.

I recommend Equinox Martial Arts and especially Kobi, the head female jiujitsu coach who I've learned from, trained with and known for many years. Both her and her partner James are kind, firm, patient, aware of safety and knowledgeable about the body, how it moves and how different people as individuals and within the team will best learn jiujitsu skills. I look forward to seeing Equinox grow & thrive from it's solid base ✨️

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.

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.

Such a great Martial Arts Gym. Coaches are amazing & super welcoming, love the community feel. Highly recommend for Kids & Adults

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!!

A friendly and welcoming, family run MMA gym with a relaxed atmosphere. Plenty of classes for people at different levels.

Awesome people, great coaching, beautiful mat spaces. More importantly James and Kobi have fostered a really great and caring community, and the rolls are always fun.

Equinox is a world class gym with world class instructors. There's no better gym on the north shore if you're looking to start or progress your martial arts.

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.

If you're looking for top-tier martial arts training, Equinox Academy is the place to be! They offer exceptional Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and MMA classes for all skill levels.
