AUSTRALIAN FREESTYLE MARTIAL ARTS SELF-DEFENSE COURSE

Martial arts are the perfect way to get fit and enjoy yourself while you’re doing it – but there’s also so much more than that. In this 4-week martial arts course, students will not only learn self-defense techniques, but there is a focus on improving Focus, Confidence, and Resilience. The classes are well structured and no one lesson is the same which keeps students engaged and motivated. Your child will work on developing core motor skills, mind and body coordination, and personality. When they learn about self-protection, self-belief, and self-resilience at this stage of life they will have the right foundation for the most challenging years of their lives.
