A long-term community
Many of our students have trained with us for ten, fifteen or twenty years. Some started as kids and now teach. That long-term community is something Viewbank families value: children have role models to look up to, and adults find training partners who keep them motivated. Our seminars and grading days bring everyone together through the year.
Adults from Viewbank
Adults choose from Adults Martial Arts, BJJ and Fitness Kickboxing, with morning, evening and Saturday options.
After a morning at Banyule Flats
Viewbank families are outdoorsy: weekends at Banyule Flats, Price Park or the river trails. Martial arts fits right in, building the balance, agility and body awareness that help kids climb, run and ride with more confidence. And on rainy days, a Saturday class at the dojo is a great way to burn off energy indoors.

My 2 youngest children attend twice a week and have a ball, not only do they learn a martial art, but their confidence has gone through the roof, they are doing hand stands, cart wheels and rolling confidently.
— Gavin B.
I'm only a few weeks in, and already feel like I'm learning heaps. … I'm sleeping better, I'm more focussed at work and in a better mood in general.
— Julian W.
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.
Great dojo space and even better teachers and instructors. … Ignited a passion for the martial art in a complete beginner myself!
— Jonathan Y.
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.
