Peter Kent - Head Trainer

Head Trainer Peter Kent started his journey when he sought out training for Muay Thai. With the scarcity of Muay Thai in Australia, it led Peter to visit Thailand to gain a better understanding of the sport, coming back with the idea of establishing Matrix Gym.

Since then, we’ve trained world class fighters including Frank Giorgi and Nathan Corbett who secured his first world title in 2003. More trips between Thailand and Australia meant that Matrix fighters could learn as much as they could and bring back the knowledge, and continue to grow in skill.

Fast forward to 2015, Matrix Gym introduced Boxing, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and MMA programs.

For nearly 30 years, we’ve established ourselves as a leading Boxing and Muay Thai gym on the Gold Coast, and have produced some of the best Australian Muay Thai fighters. Come and see what we’re all about and try us out.

BJJ is a martial art, combat sport, and a self-defense system that focuses on grappling and especially ground fighting.

Jiu Jitsu, which means gentle art, is the oldest form of martial art. It originated in India more than 2000 years before Christ. It was created by monks who could not use any type of weapons to defend their lives against barbarian attacks. Jiu Jitsu spread through China and eventually took root  in Japan. A Japanese man named Maeda brought Jiu Jitsu to Brazil in 1914 and was elaborated on by Carlos and Helio Gracie. Commonly known as BJJ – Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is all about leverage. More than 80% of most fights end up on the ground in real street situations. This is where BJJ is at its best. No matter the size, a smaller man or women can submit a larger person with the correct training and technique.
