Self Defence Training Near Rosanna
Weekly training that lasts, about 4 km from Rosanna
Train it until it’s automatic
A workshop gives you a few moves. Regular self defence classes give you responses you can actually rely on under pressure. That’s why we teach weekly classes, at our Thornbury dojo about 4 km from Rosanna.
Rosanna is a quiet suburb, and most people here simply want to feel prepared: for themselves, for their kids, and for the unusual day when something goes wrong.

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…
— Natasha G.
Had an awesome experience. Craig is super skilled, patient, and really know how to push you while keeping it fun. Everyone’s welcoming, and the training is really inviting for a beginner.
— Andrew C.
Amazing culture here and a very practical martial art. I've done martial arts for over 20 years and have struggled to find a club that balances humour, practicality, realistic techniques and education as well as this place.
— Andrew D.
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.
