Southern Fitness & Martial Arts Centre

Southern Fitness and Martial Arts Centre began as the Australian Karate and Kickboxing Academy in early 2003. Since then the gym has grown from twenty students training two nights a week, to over 300 members training 6 days per week. We now offer a huge variety of classes for the entire family.

The centre has a 700 square metre floor space, modern personal training studio, boxing ring, two large matted areas, 30 heavy bags, large parents viewing area and a huge range of general training accessories.

Our instructors are highly trained, accredited professionals who share a wealth of experience in the Martial Arts. As such we are able to offer a diverse range of styles and programs ranging from general fitness and self-defense, through to more technical disciplines and competitive fight training.

We also have access to a large network of equipment wholesalers and stock Martial Arts, boxing and fitness equipment at some of the best prices available.

Our Philosophy is that Martial Arts should be accessible to everyone.

As a Martial Arts Centre located in a diverse community we cater to a very diverse range of people. We pride ourselves on an inclusive and respectful training environment – one that is welcoming to all regardless of experience or physical ability. Our instructors and members are expected to maintain this positive environment at all times.

Regardless of a students training aspirations there will always be a strong focus on correct technique, form and discipline, as well as increasing fitness, strength and flexibility. Where possible our instructors will provide alternative exercises for beginners or people with limited physical ability. Classes in Martial Arts are intended to build confidence in realistic self-defense situations and as such semi-contact sparring and grappling is an important component of the technical classes.

Martial Arts is certainly a way of life and we promote a family environment with a positive, high-energy training culture suitable for men, women and children from all walks of life.
