Nineteen years of grappling. Over a decade of coaching. Same jokes for most of it. Meet Sina, our Jiu-Jitsu Instructor.

Meet the coaches, part one: Sam Bastin.

59 fights, seven years at Tiger Muay Thai, and a corner that’s included Volkanovski and Dricus du Plessis. Now he’s preparing our competitors — and taking beginners who’ve never thrown a punch.

His classes move. You’re learning something new every round, the hour goes quicker than you’d think, and you walk out already planning the next one.

Dug this one out of the archives. A random day at Cortex: drilling, sparring, hitting mitts, a few bad jokes between rounds.

Cortex community, got your own clips from the mat? Tag us or send them through. The good, the sweaty, the all. We want to share them.

There’s no shortage of MMA myths out there.

Have you heard of these ones? “You have to compete to be any good. That training will win you any street fight. That MMA is more dangerous than boxing.”

If there’s something you’ve always wondered about training, ask in the comments.

The Cortex mouthguard smile collection. Ninety percent mouthguard, ten percent teeth.

Still reckon MMA gyms are full of scary people? Here they are, mid-session, having a laugh. Best crew you could ask for.

Missing a few tags — comment if that’s you (or dob in your mate)

People tend to worry about before their first class at MMA gyms, thinking:
“I’ll do myself an injury.” “I’ll be sparring on day one.” “Tapping means I failed.”

Honest answers to all three — we won’t sugarcoat. It’s a contact sport BUT beginner training is built so you LEARN it without getting hurt.

Grappling in boxing gloves. An oldie from the archives — nobody’s quite sure what was happening here, least of all them.

Got footage from training? Send it through and we’ll put it up. The good, the bad, and whatever this was.

3 reasons people talk themselves out of training.
“I need to get fit first.” “I’m too old.” “I’m not flexible enough.”

None of them hold up — and the first one’s completely backwards. You get fit by training, not before it.

Come as you are.

The people make the place.
Different classes, different levels, all the same room.

These are old archives, share your videos Cortex MMA Crew, so we post those 🙌

Three things people get wrong about MMA.

That it’s just a punch-up. That you need to be big and strong. What the MMA means at all?

None of them hold up. Swipe through — the real version is more interesting than the myth, and a lot less intimidating than people expect.

Come see it for yourself. First 2 weeks $49, gloves included.
