​This is one of the best Martial Arts schools in Melbourne and for kids martial arts I would rate it as the best!!
My eldest boy trained here for some time and as well has learning effective self defence he was also taught life lessons and encouraged to be courteous and kind. It reflected in his improvement at school.
My youngest will start training here soon.
Great place, great instructors and great environment!
