​The kickboxing exercise classes are awesome. Great instructors. Pounding away on the high-quality punch/kick bags pushes my cardio fitness, tones my aging body, allows me to deal with the stresses of the day. Thoroughly recommend them.

Junior Adults 11 - 14 yrs old programme is very focused on self defence based Martial Arts.

​As you may already be aware both assaults and knife attacks in Melbourne have  dramatically increased but did you know this age group is strongly represented in the official statistics for knife violence ...

​Love the team at GMA. My daughter has been there for 5yrs or so and with the help of all the trainers has progressed to Black belt but more importantly gained much in the way of confidence and perseverance. It's a great place for the family to train.

​This is one of the best family things we do. Our son trains twice a week with Senseis who are amazing role models. The program is so well thought out and run. Thanks Craig and the team
