Self defence for Bulleen children
Children learn to stay aware, use a strong voice, keep their distance and escape grabs in Ninja Stars and Samurai Warriors. Teens train in Junior Adults, including Knife Defence basics. See kids self defence.
At any age
We regularly teach adults in their fifties and sixties. Techniques rely on leverage and timing rather than strength, and instructors adapt everything for injuries and fitness. See women’s self defence and Adults Martial Arts.
Protecting the people you love
Many Bulleen parents and grandparents tell us they started training because they want to be able to protect their family. We teach how to position yourself between a threat and a child, how to move people away from danger and how to call for help effectively, as well as personal self defence skills. It’s practical, reassuring and suitable for all ages.

This is an excellent place to learn martial arts. There's a seamless blend of respect for tradition and practical, effective, Self Defence. All in the most inclusive and welcoming environment you could ask for.

This is a complete system for anyone wanting to learn not only physical defense, traditional weaponry, and modern day concepts, but also a balance of mental development for a pressured situation.
— Andrew S.
Great family friendly dojo. Very unique martial arts if you’re interested in practical defence techniques - boxing is great for fitness also.
— Sean M.
As someone totally new to martial arts, I’ve felt nothing but welcomed … as a short, small framed woman, it gives me some sense of empowerment I’ve never had before. Recommend for girls/ women of any age, and any experience.
— Ash D.
I've been training in Japanese Jiu Jitsu and attending Adult Kickboxing classes for the last 3 years and I learn something new and valuable from the staff every time I go there. I would highly recommend this school to anyone wanting to start training in martial arts as an adult…
