Attending Martial Arts classes or self-defence lessons is empowering. It helps you feel safe and secure, whilst giving you confidence and improved self esteem. Everyone deserves that!
Hapkido, Kinetic Fighting – Integrated Combat (KEF–IC), Jissen Budo and Self-Defence
Centenary Martial Arts (CMA) is an Asia Pacific Self Defence school (APSD), owned and operated by an Australian Army veteran with 36 years service. We deliver Martial Arts classes and Self Defence. The primary Martial Art taught at CMA is Hapkido, a Korean combat martial art.
We also teach Kinetic Fighting – Integrated Combat (KEF–IC) and Jissen Budo. Everything we teach can be delivered in a Small Group or Individual ‘one on one’ training.
Hapkido
Hapkido is a Korean Martial Art, considered a combat martial art and excellent for self defence.
KEF-IC
KEF-IC is set to become a major competitor to Krav Maga. KEF–IC is the civilian equivalent to the Australian Army Combative Program (ACP).
Jissen Budo
Jissen Budo International (JBI) is a standard-bearer in the training and assessment of martial arts skills, designed for real combat. As an association of practically-minded and committed budoka, Jissen Budo provides assistance, recognition and skill-sharing opportunities to martial artists across Australia and Internationally.
As a JBI school, we will prepare students for their Black belt grading attempt, as well as offering a coloured belt grading system all the way to black.
Self Defence
We also run self-defence courses on request. Recently we went into partnership with the Centenary Community Connections to deliver FREE self-defence courses throughout the year.
Classes without the formalities
As with all APSD schools, our Martial Arts classes are relaxed, fun and without the formalities of traditional Martial Art schools. Our experience has shown that less formal classes achieve better results, keep students better engaged, helps raise self-esteem and confidence. We also find that the students are more inclined to take control of their own development and focus on what needs work, not what the instructor dictates.
Member of Martial Arts Australia – Certified Instructor School
Centenary Martial Arts, as an APSD school, is a member of Martial Arts Australia (MMA). MMA is a peak industry body for Martial Arts in Australia. Through MMA, CMA is a certified instructor school and therefore, must adhere to an industry code of practice and ethics of business. We are also committed to continuous quality improvement.
Chief instructor is a long serving Army Veteran
Our Chief Instructor is an Australian Regular Army of 36 years, who is passionate about self-defence and Martial Arts. Consequently, you won’t just learn a Martial Art or do a Self-Defence course, you will truly learn how to defend yourself and loved ones.
Centenary Martial Arts wants to give back!
CMA strives to build the school culture around that concept of mateship. We also love to give back to the community and those around us who make sacrifices for our benefit.
