Why Train With Us

The Murwillumbah Combat Club is Family owned and operated by locals Ian McLachlan and wife Gemma. Ian is our Head Coach and brings with him over 15 years of training and coaching experience in multiple styles including Karate, Boxing, BJJ, Muay Thai and MMA. Gemma is the gym manager and assistant instructor with 7 years of training & teaching experience. Their two children Noah and Evelyn also get involved assisting our junior students as assistant instructors.

We founded the Murwillumbah Combat Club with the aim of providing a community club accessible to all, where people can come to improve themselves, make friends and share in their love of martial arts/combat sports. We have worked hard to build an environment where people feel welcomed, supported and looked after. We don’t build egos, we build confidence, character & friendship.

Whether you’d like to get into competitive fighting, get fitter & stronger or simply feel like taking up an exciting new hobby, we’re here to help you achieve your individual goals in a positive environment.
