AUSTRALIAN FREESTYLE MARTIAL ARTS SELF-DEFENSE COURSE
Martial arts are a great way for kids to build confidence, focus, and physical fitness—while having fun! This dynamic course introduces students to real-world self-defense techniques while helping them develop coordination, discipline, and resilience. Classes are split into two levels:
Beginner students will focus on foundational skills in a supportive, high-energy environment.
Intermediate students will expand on those basics with more advanced techniques and conditioning.
No two classes are the same, keeping students engaged and motivated!
