Train hard. Stay humble. Be part of DCA.
DCA MMA is a gym built on good coaching and word of mouth, founded by brothers Anthony and Brandon Drilich. We're moving to a bigger home at Ocean Keys in Clarkson. Grand opening Saturday 29 August at 11am, with a public meet and greet with UFC bantamweight Cody Haddon, and classes from Monday 31 August.
Every art under one roof
One membership covers every adults class. Most of our members cross-train across striking and grappling.
Mixed Martial Arts
The complete game. Striking, clinch, takedowns and ground work, structured for beginners through to competitors.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
No-Gi grappling for all levels, from your first class to competition prep.
Boxing for MMA
A one of a kind class teaching boxing adapted for MMA. The boxing skills you need in the cage, trained in 7oz hybrid MMA gloves.
Striking for MMA
Utilises techniques from Muay Thai and kickboxing. The striking skills that hold up in the cage.
Strength & Conditioning
Power, endurance and speed work built around the training, not a generic gym corner.
Open Mat & Sparring
Unstructured mat time to drill, roll and spar, plus members-only sparring and pads sessions.
Kids Programs
Real martial arts for ages 3 to 12, split properly by age. BJJ, MMA and striking, taught by coaches who know kids.
Teens Program New
Our brand new program for 13 to 17 year olds. Not a kids class, and not thrown in with the adults.
Built for fighters. Open to everyone.
Whether you're chasing a professional MMA career or just looking to boost your fitness, our world-class coaches and facilities create the perfect environment to grow. We offer expert training in No-Gi BJJ, kids BJJ (Gi and No-Gi), MMA, and striking for MMA, blending techniques from boxing, Muay Thai, kickboxing, wrestling and judo.
Join our supportive community and discover a safe, disciplined and fun space for all ages and skill levels.
