Do you allow casual sessions or drop-ins?

No. To ensure all members are invested in the health and safety of their training partners we do not allow casuals or drop-ins. Exceptions are made for black belt students and professional athletes only. Email us at {email} first so we can approve your casual drop in.

I'm unfit, can I still do this class?

Absolutely. Our classes are designed for all fitness and experience levels, from complete beginners to advanced students. We structure sessions with a mix of technique drills, optional live sparring, and rest rounds to make sure everyone can train at their own pace. If you're not ready to spar, no problem, just let the coach know and we'll tailor the session to suit your comfort level.

Do I have to book in or attend on specific days once enrolled?

No. You are welcome to come to any class that suits your schedule each week. There is no need to book or commit to particular days.

What should I wear to my first class? Do I need to bring anything?

Any comfortable T-shirt and shorts are fine. No special gear is needed and no shoes are required on the mats. We will provide everything else needed for your first free orientation class.

Do I need a uniform or specific equipment?

It depends. We will happily lend you everything you need, free of charge during your first free orientation. If you decide to enrol after your free class, we can also provide loan gear for another few weeks while our coaches guide you on what equipment or uniform you may need moving forward, depending on your preferred training program.

I want to fight. Can Scrappy take me there?

That's what we do. Our fight team has produced a UFC Welterweight Champion, ONE Championship fighters and dozens of Eternal and regional titleholders.

Jack Della Maddalena, UFC Welterweight Champion, holding the belt

UFC 315 // 10 May 2025 Unanimous decision // Fight of the night

Built at Scrappy

Proven to the world.

Jack Della Maddalena

UFC Welterweight Champion

Every world champion starts somewhere. For Jack Della Maddalena, it all began here at Scrappy MMA. His professional career kicked off in 2016 with back-to-back losses, but setbacks don't stop Scrappy fighters. Jack went on a nine-fight win streak, eventually capturing the Eternal Welterweight Championship, then earning a win on Dana White's Contender Series. Finally at UFC 315, after five hard-fought rounds against Belal Muhammad, Jack was crowned a UFC world champion.

What many people don't know is that at Scrappy MMA we equip beginners with the exact same tools, knowledge and mindset as we do our world championship level athletes. Whether you're chasing the championship belt or a transformative fitness journey, we specialise in delivering the perfect training program for your age, size and skill level.
