Owner & Head Coach
Kael Coster
I started martial arts as a kid after experiencing bullying and violence growing up. Back then, I was more likely to freeze than fight back.
Over the years, martial arts has taken me around Australia competing professionally in both the ring and cage, earning multiple black belts and title belts along the way. More importantly, it helped me navigate some of the toughest periods of my life and introduced me to incredible mentors, lifelong friends, and a strong sense of community.
What I love most is seeing people transform. Watching someone walk through the door shy, anxious, or lacking confidence, then seeing them stand taller, speak with confidence and develop resilience, discipline, self-control and self-belief.
At Tribe, we’re building more than martial artists - we are building a community. Whether you’re a complete beginner or a seasoned athlete, you’ll find a place here.

Joe Gibbons
I’ve been training at Tribe MMA since the start of 2022, what started as a way to lose weight and learn to protect myself quickly turned into a must have hobby for my physical and mental health.
Since I started I have competed in over 15 kickboxing / Muay Thai fights, 6 of them being at an amateur level.
From beginners to high level strikers, we really have a kind and tight-knit community that are there to help each other and get better one day at a time.
BJJ Coach
Liam Dickson
Liam is a BJJ purple belt under Kael, training since 2020. What started as an interest in self defence has quickly grown into a passion for Jiu-Jitsu.
Coaching gives me the opportunity to do what I love most; helping people grow and improve to become the best version of themselves. Whether it’s guiding a complete beginner through their first class or helping a more experienced student break through a plateau. I love the puzzle and problem solving BJJ present on a daily basis.

Brodie Collins
I’ve been training at Tribe for nearly 4 years and it’s been the biggest step forward in my life, the people here have continued to support and help shape who I’ve become and who I am becoming.
I’ve had 3 Muay Thai fights and 1 kickboxing fight and plan to continue stacking up fights while I help others in the gym bring more out in themselves and hopefully see them find a passion in this sport like I have.

Amber Robers
Martial arts has been part of my life since I was around 6 years old. I’ve been training at Tribe for almost 4 years now and the community and support I’ve found through the gym is something I value highly.
I’ve taken up coaching with the aim of giving back to the gym while I continue to train for my first amateur fight. I hope to make Muay Thai feel fun and rewarding like I’ve always found it to be, while also encouraging hard work and discipline.
Muay Thai Coach
Jon Petherbridge
I started Taekwondo at 14 years old, where I first met Kael. I went on to compete in over 50 Taekwondo fights as a teenager, before joining Tribe where I have trained under Kael, on and off, since he started it in my early 20’s.
I’ce dabbled in the occasional Muay Thai, BJJ and Judo competition along the way.
I coach because I love watching beginners fo through the fire and come out the other side as capable fighters. There’s something special about seeing people discover what they’re truly capable of by doing something hard - the same journey I went through myself.
Kids Muay Thai Coach
Ross Wilson
I’ve been involved in martial arts for over 40 years. During that time I’ve trained in Karate, Taekwondo and Muay Thai, competing in state, national and international levels, earning black belts in multiple disciplines, and spending time as both a competitor and coach. Martial arts has given me incredible experiences, lifelong friendships and lessons that extend far beyond the mats.
After returning to train with Kael and the team at Tribe, I began coaching junior classes. Seeing kids build confidence, develop new skills and achieve things they never thought possible is one of the most rewarding parts of coaching.
I love being part of a supportive community where people work hard, encourage each other and grow together. For me, martial arts has always been about personal growth, resilience and respect as much as it is about training.
