Jeet Kune Do is not a style. It is a training philosophy developed by Bruce Lee: absorb what is useful, reject what is useless, add what is specifically your own. Our JKD classes are self-defence focused, teaching you to flow between punching, kicking, trapping, and grappling ranges. We are the only Dan Inosanto-certified JKD academy in Perth.
Muay Thai is renowned for its fitness and conditioning benefits. Known as the art of eight limbs, it develops punches, kicks, knees, and elbows in a high-energy class that gives the body a total workout. Our Muay Thai program is suitable for beginners and experienced students.
Kali is the traditional Filipino martial art of Escrima and Arnis. It is weapons-based but translates all techniques to empty hand. Silat adds Indonesian destructions, breaks, takedowns, and sweeps. Together they form a devastating street self-defence system employed by military and law enforcement agencies worldwide.
Our no-gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and submission grappling classes teach control, escapes, and submissions on the ground. Drawing from wrestling, judo, and sambo, this program builds patience, humility, and technical skill. Beginners are welcome.
Mixed Martial Arts combines the stand-up striking of Muay Thai with the ground game of BJJ. Our MMA classes are open to intermediate and advanced students who are already training in both disciplines. There is no one-size-fits-all approach; we teach you to adapt based on your body type and attributes.
Our self-defence program draws from JKD and Kali / Silat to teach practical, efficient, reality-based protection. We cover all ranges of combat, with and without weapons, including multiple attacker scenarios. These are essential life skills for today's world.
Personal training is available by appointment in all disciplines, as well as fitness, weight lifting, and strength and conditioning. Sessions are individualised to your goals and taught by a qualified instructor.
