Martial Arts for the whole family

We are a family-focused martial arts school in the centre of Upper Hutt.
We offer a range of martial arts classes for children, teens and adults of all ages.
Our Academy culture is relaxed and friendly. We aim to help you and your family achieve your martial arts/self-defence goals and realise your potential.
We have a strong team of experienced Instructors. We offer much more than martial arts and self-defence training, and we would like you to join our family.
So, come along and try out an orientation class for you or your children and begin your own martial arts journey.
Our classes are run at our modern, owner-occupied martial arts studio in the centre of Upper Hutt.
Academy Update - March 2026
Last month we launched a couple of new classes at our Academy. The first was our Beginner Sword Class on Saturday mornings. This proved to be very popular and the class is almost full.
The second was our Mobility Class which is aimed at improving ones' range of movement using a mixutre of yoga, PNF stretching and movement flow drills. This class is for anybody, whether you study martial arts or not.
Because of our sedentary lifestyles, many people are encountering mobility issues in their 30's and 40's as opposed to their later years. Also, because we are living longer, people want to be able to maintain their mobility and live pain free for their quality of life.
One of the major benefits of martial arts training is developing and maintaining health and mobility.
We would like to offer this benefit to our wider community. So our Mobility Class is FREE to all. The class is aimed at adults.
The exercises are progressive so no matter what your level of mobility is, you will benefit from this class.
Come along on Wednesdays at 5 pm for a 50 minute workout that will change your life.
Wear confortable clothing and bring a towel and water bottle. You can also bring a Yoga Mat,1 kg hand weights and ankle weights. But these are optional. Contact Us for further details.
