​High impact, low effort. Doesn't require a high level of fitness to be effective. Doesn't rely on giving and taking hits until one person is down. Perfect for people who want a style that's adaptive to their needs. If you feel you are too small, or too weak to be effective in defending yourself, this style will teach you otherwise.
Fitness Kickboxing  Let’s get you Fit and Strong with our Fitness Kickboxing classes either in the daytime or evening. With ten class times to choose from it has never been easier to get to class and fit it into your busy schedule. All sessions are guaranteed to make you sweat.

​I first tried Guests martial arts about 3 years ago and found everyone to be completely welcoming and lovely. I had to stop due to personal reasons, but now 3 years later i've managed to get myself back there and had the exact same experience. Amazing team, and great effective training. Highly recommend.

​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 ...

​The trainers are excellent, very encouraging, and allow you to work at your own pace. This is not to say that you don't work hard, in fact the complete opposite. You always leave feeling like you have just gone to the next level with your fitness.

​​​I started hanging out here when I wanted to get my little man (5) into a martial arts class to give him some focus and physical activity after school, my daughter (10) reluctantly got dragged to a few classes but after watching a few decided she wanted to try it too.
