Best Karate Classes Melbourne Near Me

4worldlovers: "Past a point, Arakan becomes no longer just about kicking, striking or fighting. It's about discovering yourself on many levels, it's about exploring your limits and moving through those limits."

We understand we live in a society where it’s become vital to have the skills to effectively protect ourselves and our loved ones, which is exactly what we teach. At Arakan Martial Art you will learn the techniques, strategies and mind-set to effectively and efficiently take control of any street situation quickly.

Arakan Martial Art was created for the ‘real world’, with a focus on fast, powerful, practical and adaptable street self-defence techniques.

It stems from a traditional Burmese martial art which Master Robert Kyaw (Ne Htoon Kyaw) - who created this modern self-defence style - has a direct lineage to.

Over his lifetime, Master Kyaw has adapted this traditional style to suit today’s urban environment, resulting in a fast and effective self-protection style perfectly suited for the modern world in which we live.

Note : All training has been adjusted to comply with current government regulations regarding hygiene and social distancing

I just wanted to thank you for sending such a inspirational instructor to teach my son Andrew.

Grant Cosgrove came a month ago to start to teach my son Andrew Arakan.

I have only praise for Grant, he is not only kind and patient but has great knowledge.

My son is enjoying his sessions immensely, I have noticed changes in him since starting with Grant. He has grown in confidence in such a short time.

I began studying Jujitsu in early 1990 and I can honestly say I have enjoyed every moment. During that time I have been fortunate enough to travel to Japan, United Kingdom, Sth Africa, New Zealand and all over Australia to learn, train and occasionally teach the odd seminar or two.

​After the school I was training in closed down I started the Melbourne based Martial arts school in Preston around 1998. Over time it has grown to become the biggest Dojo for this type of Martial Arts training in the southern hemisphere with quite literally thousands of students studying at our school over the years. Many have reached Black Belt and of those many have stayed on continuing their studies for longer than 10 and even more than 20 years.

I have to thank my amazing staff and students for all their support over the years.

This is a wonderful, family friendly, supportive Martial Arts School. I can’t recommend it enough, and am constantly telling friends and family to come and join in!

We started with my daughters doing jujitsu two years ago and now I go to the kickboxing classes too. All the instructors are supportive, and make the classes fun, whilst still pushing you to be your best and give it your all.

​Thanks to everyone at Guests, we always look forward to out classes!

This is one of the best Martial Arts schools in Melbourne and for kids martial arts I would rate it as the best!!

My eldest boy trained here for some time and as well has learning effective self defence he was also taught life lessons and encouraged to be courteous and kind. It reflected in his improvement at school. My youngest will start training here soon.

​Our son trains twice a week with Senseis who are amazing role models.

4worldlovers: ​We, as a family, have been members at Martial Fitness Aust. for over 8 years. Originally joining for fun and fitness and knowing hardly anything about Taekwondo, we have embraced all that the club and teachers have to offer us. For me, learning self-defence and the traditional teachings of Taekwondo alongside Kickboxing, I have the all-round fitness experience! My sons love their teachers and classes - my eldest also joined the Sports Taekwondo program where he competes around Australia, including the National Championships.

If you are looking for martial arts training in the Point Cook area, I would highly recommend Martial Fitness Australia. I have been a member for over 10 years, and I cannot speak highly enough about the program, and

The best way we know how is through martial arts – a skill that will not only allow them to practise their focus, learn discipline, build confidence and fitness, but where they will also learn how to protect themselves.

We are excited for the journey that you and your child will take on with us, in helping them realise their fullest potential. Once your child is enrolled in our kids martial arts program, it is a partnership we form – in providing a safe haven for them to learn, make mistakes and grow to become better versions of themselves.
