Where pets are treated like family
Rise Mixed Martial Arts is a martial arts school based in Altona North, Victoria. Our school is founded on traditional martial arts values, with a focus on respect, honesty, integrity, and the pursuit of self-improvement.

Our school caters to all levels of experience, from beginners who want to improve their fitness and skill set, to more experienced martial artists looking to build on their current foundations. We pride ourselves on our supportive culture, where everyone is welcome to train and pursue their own goals at their own pace. Whether you're looking to get into martial arts for recreation, competition, fitness, or self-defense, we are here to help you reach your goals.
Our Coaches
Our team of coaches at Rise MMA are experienced and dedicated martial artists, who are passionate about sharing their knowledge and skills with others.

After training directly under John for six years, Cam moved to Melbourne and found his next BJJ home in Richmond. He went on to be one of the founders of one of the biggest and most established BJJ schools in Australia, Dominance MMA. In 2014, Cam established Rise MMA in Altona, where it has grown from 20 BJJ students to now also include Muay Thai, kids classes, women's only classes, and our own full-time modern training facility. Cam is a 3rd Degree Black Belt in BJJ, and has also gained a 2nd Degree Black Belt in Shootfighting, a Green Belt in Judo, and many other accolades in his martial arts career.
