Machete Muay Thai

Penrith's hottest sweat box Muay Thai gym! Machete Muay Thai is extremely inclusive offering classes for all levels. Their female only classes are such a great way to get fit whilst learning a new skill and meeting new people. There is lots of one on one attention in group classes with the option of booking PT sessions with some of their top fighters. The atmosphere is always so good and the people are so friendly that you'll want to come every day.

Absolutely incredible experience for my kids. My teenage daughter has never had any interest in sports or exercise before. This is the first thing she’s ever been passionate about, she loves it so much. In just around 6 weeks, she has gained multiple skills and built up so much confidence. The same for my son. The trainers are amazing, they are great role modes for my kids. and are so good with my little ones as well. The gym is always clean and tidy with classes for all ages. It has been a life changing experience for my family.

Home away from home. Best Muay Thai gym around!Super friendly staff and members and new location is fantastic.

After spending alot of time at machete muay thai I have come to realise just how extensive not only all the coaches knowledge is but all of the members too. This wealth of knowledge coincides with a deep passion for muay thai and willingness to teach. I recommend machete muay thai to beginners, full time fighters and anyone in-between.

Machete Muay Thai is one of the most interesting kick boxing gyms I have trained at. Rhyse Saliba has fresh and original drills I have never seen before, including extended Muay Thai grappling and clinching sessions, advanced padwork using elbow strikes, and hand-trapping drills.A lot of the kick boxing gyms I have trained at in the past use tired old boxing drills with a few kicks thrown in, but Machete Muay Thai is genuinely different. From the first class I found myself learning things I had never been shown before. I discovered entirely new types of elbow strike, and fresh new ways of clinching the opponent, authentic Mauy Thai throws and grappling moves, knee strikes, and vertical elbow slices that allow you to pierce and split a guard in ways I had never seen before in any gym.The variety of strikes and methods on offer are supported by wisdom from Rhyse Saliba's extensive background experience and training, his World Title fights and his natural ability to teach even new beginners and children the fundamentals and love of the sport. He offers a unique system of graded sparing that can take people from beginner to advanced.Highly recommended.

As someone who has never trained Muay Thai walking into machete was extremely welcoming for newcomers and Rhyse has several classes running till late for all different skill levels which was accommodating couldn’t recommend anymore

A great place to learn traditional Muay Thai for all skill levels, whether you just want to have fun and get fit or become a competitive fighter. Machete Muay Thai is a respectful, female friendly space. They also have women’s classes and female instructors as well as male.

Extremely welcoming community, accommodating for all skill levels. Perfect place to build self-confidence, learn self-defence, and improve your fitness levels.
