A path of self mastery
Located in Kirrawee, Sydney, Toltec Combat is a modern-day dojo dedicated to the development of both the martial and the inner arts.
Our training blends Freestyle Fighting with practices such as Meditation and Qi Gong, cultivating not only strength and skill but also clarity of mind and balance of spirit.
Through consistent training, you’ll build confidence, improve your physical conditioning, and discover how disciplined practice can transform both your inner and outer world.
Join us on the path of self-mastery, where combat becomes a tool for personal growth — and every strike, breath, and moment brings you closer to your true potential.
The word Toltec can be described as “artist” — one who crafts with purpose, awareness, and mastery.
At Toltec Combat, we carry that spirit into the martial arts — learning to move, think, and live as an artist of both combat and consciousness.
Through consistent practice, we cultivate discipline, self-esteem, confidence, strength, vitality, and well-being. The skills learned here transcend fighting — they flow into our everyday lives, shaping how we approach challenges, relationships, and growth.
When you step through the gates of our dojo, the noise and stress of the outside world fade away. Here, we return to presence — focusing on breath, movement, and awareness. Every strike, every step, every moment of stillness becomes an opportunity to refine body, mind, and spirit.

What is 'Freestyle Fighting'?
Freestyle Fighting — The Standup Art
Our approach to standup combat is known as Freestyle Fighting — a fluid system that draws from K1 Kickboxing, Muay Thai, Eastern and Western Boxing, and Kung Fu.
This blend honors tradition while adapting to the needs of the modern martial artist. It’s not about rigid styles, but about expression through movement — the freedom to flow, adapt, and respond with precision and creativity.
We emphasize correct structure, efficient movement, body mechanics, footwork, and core defenses, while cultivating inner stillness, awareness, and intent — the hallmarks of the inner arts. Through shadow boxing, partner drills, pad work, and internal energy training, students build both their external skill and their internal power.
From beginners seeking confidence and fitness to advanced practitioners exploring deeper layers of strategy, energy, and expression, Toltec Combat offers a complete path.

From Tijuana to Toltec Combat
Daniel Duran.
My journey began at 22 in Tijuana, Mexico, when curiosity led me to Miguel “Maykito” Martinez’s boxing gym. From the moment my hands were wrapped, I was hooked. Not long after, I fought for the first time at an underground club in San Diego, California — and from there, my path took me across the world.
I’ve trained with world-ranked fighters, champions, and incredible teachers in gyms that became second homes: Maykito Boxing Gym (Tijuana), House of Boxing (San Diego), Al’s Boxing Club (Sydney), Ringers Boxing Gym (Wollongong), Tawasi (Australia), and now Dragon Fist MMA (Kirrawee, Sydney) — the home of Toltec Combat. Each gym, each trainer, each fight added layers to my understanding of both combat and life.
With over 15 years in combat sports, I’ve developed a system that blends boxing, kickboxing, Muay Thai, Kung Fu, and internal martial arts — a path that strengthens the body while cultivating inner balance.
Having fought professionally, I learned that strength alone isn’t enough. True health comes from harmony — body, mind, and spirit. This led me to study under Paul Chek’s Spirit Gym, exploring how energy, emotion, and awareness influence healing, performance, and wellbeing.
Toltec Combat is the expression of that journey: a space to cultivate discipline, awareness, and vitality. We train for more than power — we train to live fully, master ourselves, and refine both the warrior and the human within.
