MMA Striking in Ipswich & Toowoomba

Most MMA fights are won and lost on the feet and in the clinch. At All Styles Gym we build the stand-up game that gives you the edge, boxing, Muay Thai, clinch work and takedowns, taught by coaches who have competed. Whether you already fight MMA and want to sharpen your stand-up, or you are starting out and want the foundation the sport is built on, you will find it here in Ipswich and Toowoomba.

The stand-up game, done properly

Striking is a craft, and we coach it as one. Our programme brings together everything you need on the feet:

  • Boxing for your hands, head movement, footwork and range
  • Muay Thai for kicks, elbows, knees and the clinch
  • Clinch work and Muay Thai takedowns, the sweeps, dumps and trips that control the tie-up and put your opponent on the mat

That is the stand-up arsenal a mixed martial artist fights with: strike, control the clinch, and take them down on your terms. We specialise in this game and coach it to a high standard, so the hours you put in show up when it counts.

Coaching built on real fight experience

You will not be holding pads for a mate here. Every session runs with dedicated pad holders who have world-class experience, so your rounds are sharp, safe and pushing you forward. The programme is led by coaches who have lived the sport. Founder and head coach Kurtis Pegoraro has fought 19 professional MMA bouts, and Ashton holds a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Between them they understand the whole fight, and they coach your striking with that complete fight IQ.

What the stand-up game builds

  • Sharp, accurate striking off both hands and legs
  • A dominant clinch, with knees, elbows and control
  • Takedowns and sweeps from the tie-up
  • Footwork, distance and timing under pressure
  • Real conditioning and the composure to stay calm in a fight

For every level

You do not need a fight record to start. Our classes suit complete beginners after fitness and a new skill, right through to competitive fighters cross-training their stand-up. Kids, teens and adults are all welcome, and our coaches meet you where you are.

Train at either gym

We run the programme at both All Styles Gym locations, Bundamba in Ipswich and Harristown in Toowoomba. Both gyms are open to members 24 hours a day, seven days a week, so you can train around your schedule.
