Drilich Combat Academy: A New Standard in Martial Arts

Built for Every Body and Every Goal

Whether you’re an aspiring fighter, a parent seeking a confidence-building outlet for your child, or simply chasing a fitter, stronger version of yourself, Drilich Combat Academy is built for you.

From Humble Beginnings to a Premier Facility

Located in Joondalup, north of Perth, DCA MMA has evolved from a humble local gym into one of Western Australia’s premier martial arts academies.

The Vision Behind DCA

Founded by brothers Anthony and Brandon Drilich, the academy reflects their journey, both as athletes and coaches. It’s a space that’s technically sharp, genuinely welcoming, and deeply rooted in community without losing its competitive edge.

The Drilich Brothers: Champions & Coaches

An Eternal Flyweight Champion and BJJ black belt, Anthony is known for his explosive grappling, striking IQ, and a finish-heavy fight style that’s earned him respect across Australia and abroad.

Brandon Drilich

A seasoned BJJ black belt with over a decade of experience, Brandon is admired for his methodical coaching and clear instruction, guiding students of all levels across multiple disciplines.

More Than a Gym: A Culture of Discipline and Community
