What Students Say
No Egos. Just Good People.
"This is one of the few academy's in the world that teach authentic JKD concepts and our instructors are certified by Guru Dan Inosanto. We are privileged to have this opportunity available to us in Western Australia. CDS is free of egos and full of great people. In my opinion, you will not find a better place to train."
"I first tried Combat Defence Systems as something new after two years of repetitive gym workouts. I have found the content of the classes vary often, keeping the training both interesting and challenging. Everyone is helpful and friendly. I feel I am much fitter and more able to defend myself after just a few months."
"I've always loved martial arts, growing up on a diet of Bruce Lee films. After turning 40 I decided it was time to start and chose Combat Defence Systems. For a complete beginner, Sifu Gino is patient, totally professional and never makes me feel like I've asked a stupid question! The discipline and confidence I've gained since I began has been life-changing."
