Australian Self Defence - Canberra School

Australian Self Defence – Canberra School is a sports club based in Canberra, Australia. They offer various programmes for individuals of all ages, focusing on self-defence and martial arts training.

One of their main programmes is Hapkido, which is often referred to as the “complete” martial art. Hapkido incorporates a wide range of defensive tactics, including strikes, kicks, locks, throws, takedowns, pressure points, and self-defence principles. It is considered a mixed martial art (MMA) due to its diverse techniques. Hapkido also incorporates ancient knowledge of breathing techniques, energy sources, and pressure points, making it a comprehensive and holistic martial art.

Australian Self Defence – Canberra School offers Hapkido courses for adults and teens. Their adult programme is self-paced, catering to a broad age group ranging from 18 to 60 years old. Whether you are a young individual looking for intense training or an older individual seeking a lifelong passion, this programme welcomes individuals of all fitness levels. The curriculum and training matting ensure that age is not a limiting factor.

Adults can train all year round with classes available seven days a week.

For teenagers aged 13 to 17, there is a high-energy programme that follows the same technique syllabus as the adult programme. The lessons designated for the teen programme are quick-moving and fun, incorporating games and challenges. This programme allows teens to train alongside adults occasionally to recognise their growth and provide a chance for leadership. Teens also learn valuable life skills that will benefit them in the long run.

Teenagers can train all year round.

Parents 'n' kids is another programme offered by Australian Self Defence – Canberra School. This programme allows parents to train at the same time as their child, but in a separate session. Parents follow the same syllabus as the adult programme but at their own pace. This programme not only helps parents improve their fitness levels but also provides an opportunity for children to share a common interest with their parents.

Parents 'n' kids classes are available four days a week during the school term.

In addition to Hapkido, Australian Self Defence – Canberra School also offers Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ). BJJ is a martial art that focuses on grappling and ground fighting techniques. It is known for its emphasis on technique and leverage, making it an effective self-defence system.
