WELCOME TO ADAPT ACADEMY.

To be part of Adapt is to grow - to learn strength, discipline, and respect through every stage of life.

Founded in the early 2000s by Miss Dee (Kosta’s mum), Adapt began as a small martial arts school built on family values, traditional principles, and the belief that training should develop strong bodies and strong character.

When her son Master Kosta Skrapis took over, the next generation of leadership began -evolving the academy into a modern, world-class training facility while keeping the same heart it was founded on. In 2020, Adapt Academy was rebranded, expanding its programs to include boxing and a full pathway from preschool martial arts to competitive fight training.

Today, Adapt stands as a true family legacy - with Kosta on the mats, his wife Sarah running the operations, his mum still instructing classes, and their daughter Kalani growing up in the gym. Every coach at Adapt has come through these same doors as a student - trained, mentored, and now passing on the lessons that shaped them.

For over two decades, we’ve helped hundreds of kids, teens, and adults across Wollongong and the Illawarra become stronger, fitter, and more confident -not just in their martial arts or boxing training, but in life. From first steps to black belts, from fitness goals to fight nights, we create a safe, inclusive, and inspiring space where everyone belongs.

At Adapt, you don’t just join a gym. You become part of a family.
One that’s built on discipline, respect, and the power to keep growing — no matter where you start.
