About Saxon Combat Academy (formerly Team Norton Academy)
Saxon Combat Academy is a Croydon martial arts gym built on the legacy of Australian combat sports, offering a disciplined yet genuinely welcoming home for anyone wanting to learn to fight, get fit, or build confidence. The academy carries forward a respected lineage while staying firmly focused on the everyday student, from primary-school kids stepping onto the mats for the first time to adults chasing a serious challenge.
The culture here is the drawcard. Members repeatedly describe a friendly, ego-free room where coaches break techniques down patiently and push you at your own pace. There are no meatheads and no intimidation, just skilled instruction across striking and grappling that rewards consistency and curiosity in equal measure.
With over 100 square metres of dedicated mat space alongside a fully equipped strength room, Saxon Combat Academy suits beginners and experienced competitors alike. Whether you are after self-defence, structured strength and conditioning, or a supportive community to train with several days a week, this Croydon academy delivers technical coaching in an environment designed to bring out your best.
