Our Vision for Mixed Martial Arts in Perth

The vision of Perth’s Premier Martial Arts and Fitness Academy is to inspire and excite people’s lives through martial arts, and at the same time instil the life skills and character of a true martial artist while upholding important values like courtesy, patience, respect, self-control, integrity and discipline. Premier Academy’s Mixed Martial Arts program helps Perth students develop perseverance – a non-quitting spirit to overcome life’s obstacles – as well as self-discipline, high self-esteem, a spirit of constant improvement and an attitude that refuses to give up.

- Improve your overall cardio fitness, strength and flexibility
- Provide the opportunity to develop the mental strength you need to deal with life’s challenges.
Can anyone in Perth train in MMA at Premier Academy?
Perth students come to us from age 4 to 74. Some students are in shape, while others are overweight or lacking in fitness or confidence. Some come for self-defence, fitness and others for fun. Each person is treated equally and is trained to the best of their own ability and potential. A student is never compared to anyone else. At Premier Martial Arts our instructors are there to guide, instruct and motivate you to be the best that you can be. We develop and inspire Perth people to be physically and mentally healthy, so they have the energy and resilience to deal with life’s challenges. The rewards will last a lifetime once you begin your martial arts journey. Training in MMA in Perth is the best investment you might ever make in yourself!
