The Strike Force story started in 1988 with the opening of two clubs, one in Avondale and Blockhouse Bay teaching children only. It wasn’t called Strike Force at the time.

In 1992, the club changed their name to Strike Force Gym and would open the 1^st full time gym in Avondale with adult classes in 1993.

In 2005 Strike Force Gym would outgrow its Avondale location after 12 years and move to Drury Street New Lynn.

Over the years Strike Force Gym has benefitted from trainers of vast experience and standards of excellence.  Head coach Aaron Boyes brings the following credentials to the Muay Thai (kickboxing) class- 5 x NZ Light Heavyweight champion, 2 x South Pacific Middleweight champion, 1 x WKBF Super Middleweight champion. MMA Head Coach Karl Webber brings 10 years of experience in the cage, sport jiu-jitsu, winning 6 national titles and was the first New Zealander to compete in Abu Dhabi in 2000.

Today Strike Force Gym trains Muay Thai (Kickboxing), Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) over a busy weekly schedule.  Strike Force Gym prides itself on proper training techniques and the right attitude in a fun and positive gym environment.

Strike Force has produced many champions and continues to do so, but more importantly it is a supportive and positive environment for people to come and learn martial arts.
