Martial arts classes Perth for kids & teens (4-19 year )
We believe young children learn best in a fun and supportive environment. That’s why our instructors are patient, positive and encouraging at all times.
In our Little Tigers (4–7 years) classes, children:
Learn basic karate blocks, strikes and kicks
Build balance, coordination and listening skills
Gain confidence by achieving small goals
Train at a pace that suits them with one-to-one guidance when needed
Our aim is for kids to enjoy training so they want to keep coming back and growing.
We love seeing the transformation that often happens in this age group. In our kids karate classes (8–12 years), students:
Improve fitness, focus and self-discipline
Learn practical self-defence and anti-bullying strategies
Gain confidence as they work towards new belts
Often show positive changes in school work and behaviour
Parents regularly tell us they notice better attitude, resilience and respect at home and in the classroom.
In our teen karate classes (13–19 years), students train:
Overall body strength and conditioning
Balance, coordination, flexibility and agility
Focus, attitude and listening skills
Good manners (dojo etiquette) and respect for others
Social skills and teamwork through partner drills and group work
Teens also develop awareness of others and their surroundings, helping them make safer choices in everyday life. Those who are keen can also train for competition fighting and higher-level gradings.
Martial arts classes Perth for adults (20-65+ year)
Whether you’ve been with us for years (starting in our kids’ classes) or you’ve just joined and never done anything like this before, our young adult karate (20–29 years) classes will challenge you.
You will:
Learn effective, real-world self-defence
Build strength, speed and overall fitness
Develop discipline and focus that carry over into work and study
Always find something new and exciting to learn in every class
Karate gives you a strong physical and mental foundation you can build on for life.
If you’re between 30 and 49 years, you’re probably very busy with work and family. Most of our students in this age range find karate is:
A much-needed break from everyday stress
Time each week to do something purely for themselves
A great full-body workout that improves strength, mobility and posture
When you do karate, you simply can’t stress about anything else – you must focus on what you’re doing. That mental reset is one of the biggest benefits for adults in this age group.
Is karate really for all ages? Yes.
Karate can benefit many people in the 50–65+ years age group. It helps you:
Improve fitness, balance and coordination
Develop joint strength and flexibility
Learn valuable self-defence skills
Create a sense of life balance and wellbeing
We show you every move in detail, take you through it step by step, and keep helping you until you feel really confident.
Our adult karate classes are taught by some of the best martial arts teachers in Perth, and we are experienced at adapting training so you can participate safely at your own level.
