WELCOME TO GC COMBAT
Welcome to GC Combat, the Gold Coast’s home for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, and MMA.
Built on the foundations of GCBJJ and GC Muay Thai, our gym brings together high-level coaching, competitive training, and a tight-knit community under one roof.
GCBJJ was founded in 2020 by Professor Daniel Almeida and has grown into one of Queensland’s most respected Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu academies, recognised for technical excellence, structured learning, and consistent competitive success.
In 2023, Braydon Fiveash, an ex-professional Muay Thai fighter and one of Daniel’s blue belt students, launched GC Muay Thai under Daniel’s mentorship, creating a powerful and disciplined environment for striking athletes.
In 2025, GC Combat was born, uniting Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, and MMA into a single, comprehensive training academy.
Our mission is simple. Build strong, confident, and skilled martial artists while fostering a community that feels like family.
