Martial arts is great for children and is a fantastic fulfilling work-out for adults. A recent psychological study found that children in martial arts have an increased sense of responsiblity, a decrease in the willingness to take foolish risks and a higher sense of self-esteem. This is why millions of parents around the world are using martial arts to supplement their children's education. The Martial Arts Australia program offers a whole range of benefits to aid in your child's learning process and education. Apart from the improved motor-skills such as coordination, balance and agility; the martial arts offers a number of far reaching benefits. Through the martial arts your child will also learn self control, self respect, concentration and self confidence. These benefits will go a long way in helping your child excel at home, at school and in life!
Our adult students really appreciate the difference between martial arts training and conventional means of exercise... martial arts is an excellent exercise program with a bonus, you learn to defend yourself while you get fit. With crime on the rise and violent assaults on females increasing, it pays for the woman of today to have first hand self defence knowledge and skills. Martial Arts Australia offers special jujutsu and self defence courses so you can learn the basics quickly and easily. We will teach you defences and counters to overcome grabs, punches, kicks and assaults with weapons. Along with the confidence of knowing you can protect yourself, the martial arts is a fun and exciting way to stay in shape or lose weight, tone your body and generally feel great all day.
In the modern world of stress and hassles, Martial Arts Australia can help. Through our unique training methods we will show you how to relieve tension and stress through a unique blend of meditation, exercise and dynamic training. For the competitor we offer a variety of skills competitions and events in which you can participate. These include counter fighing matches, solo or patner drills and forms and demonstrations. Your self defence skills will be second to none as traditional Japanese jujutsu as used by the Samurai warriors of ancient Japan provides an excellent format.
As a result of the Samurai warrior's experience in constant warfare, jujutsu (hand-to-hand combat and counter fighting) is an effective and dynamic self defence system. Developed over the centuries as a premier hand-to-hand combat method (both unarmed and with weapons) for the elite higher ranking Samurai officers. Including punching, kicking, throwing, restraining and immobilsation techniques, it was and remains a self defence system without equal, much favoured by the major elite military and police units worldwide. Made famous in the early 90s by the Gracie family of Brazil, jujutsu was the foundation and the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championships) the launching platform for todays MMA (mixed martial arts) phenomenom, as broadcast on ESPN and pay-per-view around the world. Jujutsu is the the culmination of 1000 years of Samurai warrior history - forged from necessity in the fire of conflict and tempered in the philosophy of bushido (the way of the warrior) - jujutsu is the ultimate martial arts for today.
The coloured belt system is the key to building goal setting, focus and commitment. When children earn their belts it gives them a great sense of accomplishment that really improves the way they feel about themselves. Martial arts classes are well known for their stress relieving benefits. The emphasis on mind-body-spirit training goes far beyond the general block-punch-kick of sports martial arts or the standard garden variety fitness centre exercise programs.
We have a trained staff of patient instructors who love to work with children, but are also clear about setting limits, we enforce good rules of behaviour at home and at school. For both adults and children, the confidence building part of our program is what students appreciate the most. Nothing can take the place of the security in knowing that you can defend yourself and your loved ones, if you have to.
Rather than tell you about our instructor's tournament champaionship results and black belt rankings, we prefer to focus on our students and members. Certainly we are proud of our instructors' accomplishments, however we are more proud of our students' achievements. Our instructors understand that each student's individual progress should be the main focus of their attention.
