Martial Arts for Bulleen

Kids, teens and adults · straight along Banksia St from Bulleen

Banksia St all the way from Bulleen

Manningham Rd turns into Banksia St, and Banksia St turns into Bell St: that’s the whole route from Bulleen to our dojo. Cross Darebin Creek, turn left into Chifley Drive, and you’re here, about six kilometres from Bulleen Plaza.

Since 1997 we’ve taught martial arts to families across Melbourne’s north and east, with age-grouped classes, experienced instructors and no grading fees.

Bulleen kids and teens

Kids from St Clement of Rome and nearby primary schools start in Ninja Stars or Samurai Warriors, and Marcellin College students train in Junior Adults. Each class mixes technique, fitness, self defence and Kids Life Skills.

Saturday family mornings

Bulleen families often make Saturday their training day. Kids classes run from 9am, Fitness Kickboxing at 10:30am and 11:15am, and adults at 12:45pm, so parents can train while the kids watch, or the other way around.

Adults

Adults choose from Adults Martial Arts, BJJ and Fitness Kickboxing.

Beyond the sports field

Bulleen is a sporty area, with soccer, footy and cricket clubs everywhere. Martial arts gives kids something different: an individual challenge where they compete only with themselves. Children who aren’t into team sport often thrive here, and sporty kids find the balance, flexibility and focus help their other games too.

From Bulleen to the dojo

Drive west along Manningham Rd, which becomes Banksia St and then Bell St. Cross Darebin Creek and turn left into Chifley Drive to reach Dundas St.

What our students and parents say

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Google Review
I can honestly say all the programs from Ninja Stars, Samurai Warriors, Junior Adults and even the Fitness Kickboxing classes are some of the most well rounded programs I have seen.

— Van L.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Google Review
Great dojo space and even better teachers and instructors. … Ignited a passion for the martial art in a complete beginner myself!

— Jonathan Y.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Google Review
We couldn’t be happier with the care and patience that all of the teachers have with our son. Since we started, we have seen a massive improvement in his motor strength, coordination, and perseverance.

— Bohuslava J.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Google Review
My young son has been attending Guests Martial Arts for over three years, and it's really helped him with agility and coordination, and increased confidence in his physical abilities. … Lessons include discussions about things like friendships, positive social behaviour, sensible risk taking, and there are also reward programs for reading and good manners.

— Dan P.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Google Review
I’ve studied seven or eight martial arts myself over the years, but I’ve never seen a dojo so welcoming, or less driven by ego. … I really don’t think there’s a better martial arts venue in Melbourne.

— Aaron S.
