What do students REALLY get out of martial arts? 🎯

We asked them… and their answers say it all.

For some, it’s a way to switch off, reset, and release stress after a big day at school.
For others, it’s learning real self-defence skills that make them feel safer and more prepared.
And for many, it’s the confidence to speak up, the focus to stay on task, and the belief that they can do hard things.

Watching these students grow not just physically, but mentally and emotionally, is what it’s all about.

Stronger bodies.
Calmer minds.
More confident kids.

That’s the power of martial arts in schools.

#ConfidenceForKids #SchoolPrograms #MartialArtsLife #FocusAndDiscipline #KidsDevelopment
We asked our students one simple question…

“What’s your favourite part of martial arts?”

And their answers say everything.

“Kicks!”
“Punches!”
“Everything!”

But what stood out the most wasn’t just what they said… it was how they said it.

With confidence.
With excitement.
With pride.

Because it’s never just about the kicks and punches.

It’s about a student who once felt unsure, now putting their hand up.
It’s about a quiet child finding their voice.
It’s about kids stepping forward with belief in themselves.

That’s the real win.

At our School Sports Martial Arts program, we use movement, structure, and fun to help students build confidence, focus, and resilience… both on and off the mat.

And the best part?

They love it.

Confidence is built one board break at a time.

Our students at St Anthony’s have been doing an incredible job this term in their School Sports Martial Arts sessions. With every class, we are seeing them grow not just in their martial arts skills, but in their confidence, focus, and willingness to challenge themselves.

Board breaking is more than just a fun activity. It teaches students to believe in their ability, commit to their technique, and push through hesitation. The moment a student breaks their first board is always special. You see the surprise on their face, the pride in their smile, and the realisation that they are capable of more than they thought.

We are so proud of the effort and positive attitude the students at St Anthony’s are bringing to every session. Keep up the amazing work everyone. 👊

Term 1, 2026 at St Martha’s

Another fantastic term working with the students at St Martha’s. It’s always a pleasure to return each term and see how much the students continue to grow, not just in their martial arts skills, but in their confidence, focus and discipline.

Throughout the program this term, the students have been learning important martial arts fundamentals while also developing valuable life skills such as respect, resilience and teamwork. It’s been great to see their progress week by week as techniques improve, confidence builds and students challenge themselves to do their best.

We’re proud to continue partnering with St Martha’s to help students stay active, develop positive habits and build skills they can carry both in and out of the classroom.

Looking forward to seeing their continued progress as the program goes on.

Building Skills with Our High School Students at St Maroun’s 🥋

It’s been fantastic working with the high school students at St Maroun’s as part of our School Sports Martial Arts program.

During these sessions, students have been developing the foundations that make martial arts so powerful for both physical and mental growth. We’ve been focusing on footwork, coordination, and introductory combinations, helping students understand how movement, timing, and technique come together.

Through structured drills and guided coaching, students are learning how to move with control, stay balanced, and link their techniques together with confidence. These fundamentals are essential not only for martial arts, but also for improving focus, discipline, and body awareness.

What has been most impressive is the effort and enthusiasm the students are bringing to each session. Their willingness to try, improve, and support each other is what truly drives progress on the mat.

We’re looking forward to seeing them continue to sharpen their skills and build even more confidence as the program progresses.

Great to be back at St Francis Xavier, Lurnea for our third year running with the School Sports Martial Arts program.

Mr Hakan has been working closely with the students this term, and it’s been fantastic to see their progress on the mats. From week to week their focus, coordination, discipline and confidence continue to grow, and the improvement in their techniques has been excellent.

One of the most rewarding parts of this program is watching students challenge themselves, support each other, and take pride in learning new skills. The energy and enthusiasm from the students at St Francis Xavier has been outstanding, and we’re proud to be part of their sporting journey again this year.

We’re looking forward to seeing the students continue to build their skills and confidence as the term progresses. 🥋

Australian Martial Arts Academy has been running a martial arts program at our school every Friday at lunchtime for over 3 years. The students have so much fun learning and have shown great progress in their skills.

Hakan and the AMA team are highly professional instructors who deliver an engaging student curriculum. Most of my students had limited experience with martial art/combat systems and most had never used their bodies in such dynamic ways. 

Due to the explicit instruction and wide variety of activities on offer the students became quickly engaged and rapidly developed exciting new physical skills. Their program challenged my students through stretching, balancing and coordination activities as well as target striking and self defence-based techniques. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend AMA to any school looking for an exciting new sports program.

Head of the sports program Raymond North, incorporated the class into the sports program and said the kids found the session fun, informative and extremely beneficial. With take home information for all the kids to share the experience with their families, we hope the session provided skills they can use in their every day life. It is great to see the school open to offering this to their students which shows a great care the school has for the well being of their students and supporting their student value "work as one".

The instructors from the Australian Martial Arts Academy provided TaeKwondo lessons to Yr 3-6 students from RPS that were well structured and informative. The students had fun during many activities and were challenged by other skill sets. The students participated in activities that developed focus and self management skills.The instructors developed good rapport with the students. Recommended, as the lessons allow students to develop a new sport and its skills.

We have been bringing students from school here for their winter recreational sports for two years. The instructors are all lovely and have great rapport with the kids. Each week's lesson is engaging and productive with new skills and there is a good balance with fun activities too. It's been great seeing the kids improve.
