For 40 years, we at the Classical Martial Arts Centre, have travelled the world and spent countless hours to bring you a unique, modern training method with classical values. Come and see how what we offer is not “controlled violence”, as it is often portrayed in the media, but a positive way of thinking and acting in your everyday life. Different martial arts have different benefits and goals, so whether you’re looking to get back in shape, learn practical self-defence techniques, or want to build self-esteem and metal health, our community is ready to welcome you.

Come and see the difference.

COME AND SEE WHAT’S POSSIBLE

Through our training in Karate, Tai chi and traditional weapons we will strengthen the mind, the body and the spirit of the student to courageously overcome all challenges internal and external:

 

  • Karate
  • Tai Chi
  • Qigong
  • Weapons
  • White Crane Boxing
  • Aiki Jutsu
  • Self Defence

Our Programs

Since 1989 we have developed a program for the whole person. Not just a physical perspective of self defence but a program that will develop the mind, character and inner strength.

There has never been a more important time to take charge of your physical and mental fitness as they are intimately connected and one will affect the other. Choose to take action and become who you know you can be.
