World Class Pro Trainer

Peter Kent - Owner

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.

Regardless of the initial intimidation of joining a fighting gym for the first time -no matter who you are, or your fitness/confidence level, if you’ve ever thought about pursuing a combat sport i highly recommend coming to Matrix.
I’ve been boxing here for the last 18 months and can not praise them enough. All the staff are incredibly skilled and friendly but HUGE love to Hayden (boxing) for fostering a safe and welcoming atmosphere- all while drilling and training proper fight techniques and skills. He’s such an amazing guy and an amazing coach I could not recommend him enough.

I’ve been training at this gym for just over a year now, and honestly, it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. The culture here is something special it’s welcoming, respectful, and genuinely inclusive. From day one, I felt safe and supported, no matter my skill level. There’s no ego or judgment, just good people trying to grow together.

The coaches are knowledgeable and approachable, always creating a space where learning is encouraged and progress is celebrated whether you’re a total beginner or more advanced. The training environment is safe and professional, but also relaxed enough that you look forward to every session.

It’s more than just a gym it’s a community. I’ve not only improved on the mats but made some great friendships along the way. If you’re thinking about giving jiu-jitsu a go, or just looking for a place that truly values respect, growth, and good vibes I can’t recommend this place enough.

Loved everything. The coaches and the students are very friendly and cooperative. Although I was a newbie I immediately felt comfortable. The training atmosphere helped me push myself even when we did more challenging exercises and drills.
The prices are also super fair especially because of the high quality training.
If you want to learn fighting while working on your fitness you should definitely pay a visit.
