It was back in 2008 when Ben and James first met each other, both about to begin their journey into martial arts. The pair grew close over the years while training at Iron Fist gym and formed a friendship that has stood the test of time.
The birth of The Fight Centre came as a result of Iron Fist having to close their doors. Both guys decided it would be the right thing to continue to provide what Iron Fist had given them over the years, world-class instruction and a warm environment.
While much of their time was spent training their students, they were still able to keep improving, with Ben going on to win multiple World Championships, earning TFC worldwide recognition.
Much of what people have come to love about TFC has stemmed from experiences at Iron Fist when we were first starting out. Iron Fist embodied everything we loved about training, so when they shut their doors, we decided we wanted to keep that spirit alive.
TFC opened it’s doors at the start of 2015 in Springwood. Within the space of a year, Ben became the WBC Australian Muay Thai Champion and the gym slowly but surely began to grow into what it is today. Quality instruction and a warm environment are synonymous with what we offer at TFC.
As the years went on, the instruction at TFC went from being exclusively Muay Thai to a combination of Muay Thai, Kickboxing/K1 and Western Boxing. In this time Ben went on to win the WBC World Championship at light-heavyweight in 2018. Our goal is as it always has been, to provide a warm and welcoming environment for our students to reach their potential and have a blast while doing it.
2020 has been a challenging year for everyone.
We decided we wanted to bring TFC to you.
Each and every aspect of our programs have been specifically tailored to allow for you to continue sharpening your tools no matter where you are and how limited your options are to train.
With world champions training at The Fight Centre (TFC) from the moment they opened, the gym had a strong foundation to build upon, and have continued to be a respected gym within the Brisbane Muay Thai and Boxing community.
Ben and James had both experienced a huge transformation in their lives through Boxing and Muay Thai. They went from not knowing their place in the world to feeling the full confidence that comes from learning how to handle yourself. This allowed them to take on the challenges of everyday life and gave them the confidence to protect themselves and loved ones if ever needed.
With TFC now going online, Ben and James look forward to impacting a far greater number of people. They aim to give the same level of quality instruction and enjoyment that so many of the TFC members have and continue to experience!
