programs include:

Adult's Martial Arts Classes

Based on Taekwondo and incorporating Hapkido, Karate, Boxing and Kickboxing, adult martial arts classes are dynamic and cater for beginner to advanced levels. Classes rotate around the principals of self defence with a perfect balance of basics, patterns, sparring, fitness and calisthenics. Senior ranks have the option to participate in board and tile breaking and the hanbo. Two instructors and small class sizes allow for personal instruction in fun, motivating and powerful sessions.

Children's Martial Arts Classes

Your child will gain the skills of self defence while improving fitness, motor skills, coordination and confidence. Through retaining traditional Korean morals and philosophy but also recognising the world is a much different place, an emphasis is put on self defence and personal development rather than competition. Classes Incorporate a structure of fun, fitness and flexibility in a safe and controlled environment. Social skills will also be developed through respect for others, cooperation and discipline. All training is weapon-less and non contact.

Kick Chicks Cardio Kickboxing Classes

Kickboxing combines elements of boxing, martial arts, and aerobics to provide overall physical conditioning and toning. You can burn anywhere from 350 to 450 calories an hour with Kickboxing. Sparring and physical contact between students is optional. Movements such as knee strikes, kicks, punches and elbow strikes are taught. The instructor will also use equipment like punching bags, impact shields and focus mitts. Besides keeping your body fit, Kickboxing has other great benefits such as reducing or relieving stress. It can also help to improve balance, flexibility and coordination. Kickboxing is a great way to get a total body workout while learning simple self defence moves. Current students say weekly training helps them to feel more empowered and confident.

Women's Self Defence Classes

AFMAA classes cater for women from beginners to those with an advanced knowledge of personal defence and for women of all ages and fitness levels. You will learn the essential skills to defend yourself if threatened with a physical or sexual assault. The methods taught are easy to learn and have proven to be very effective.
