About New Plymouth MMA
New Plymouth MMA Studio is a community-focused martial arts gym dedicated to helping people of all backgrounds unlock confidence, resilience, and personal growth through structured training in combat sports.
Founded in 2019 by internationally experienced martial artists, our gym is a welcoming and inclusive space for people of all ages and experience levels — from first-time beginners to seasoned martial artists.
Our expert coaching team combines years of practical knowledge in Tradition Martial Arts, Kickboxing, Wrestling, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and MMA, delivering classes that build more than just physical skill — we develop character, self-awareness, confidence, and discipline.
Whether you’re here for fitness, stress relief, self-defence, social connection, or competitive development, our timetable and personal coaching options are built to support your goals.
We believe martial arts should be accessible to everyone — not just elite athletes. That’s why our programs are designed to suit kids, youth, teens, and adults alike, in a supportive, ego-free environment where mental and physical wellness are front and centre.
At New Plymouth MMA, we value respect, community, communication, and accountability. Politics and ego are left at the door — here, everyone trains together, with shared purpose and mutual support.
Come and experience a martial arts gym that’s built around people first. Join us on the mat — your journey starts here.

Training Emphasis
Our training philosophy is built around the people in our community and the journey each person is on. We prioritise strong fundamentals first—developing a clear understanding of movement, technique, and positioning—before progressively layering skill, pressure, and intensity over time.
Within our sessions, everyone is supported to train at their own pace while still being challenged to grow. Whether members are here for skill development, personal growth, or connection, our structured approach allows each person to build confidence, capability, and resilience in a way that’s sustainable.
We value an environment where learning is shared, effort is respected, and progress is earned—together. By showing up, supporting one another, and trusting the process, our members develop not just as martial artists, but as part of a strong, connected community.
