Kicking drills outdoors

This photo, taken recently at our Beechboro Dojang, highlights our commitment to students being well-versed in training on various surfaces, such as; grass, sand and paved areas – not just on the hard polished floors commonly found in the Dojang.This is due to the fact that a Self Defence situation may occur anywhere, at any time, and on any surface.

Enjoyment accelerates learning

Even though First Martial Arts is a traditional MA school, one that teaches discipline, our Progressive philosophy enables us to understand that ‘enjoyment accelerates learning’. Our Comprehensive style of training has positively evolved over many decades as a result of teaching thousands of Martial Arts students here in WA and is suited to people of all ages, from 6 years and up.

The majority of our 23x Branch Instructors are over 40 years of age and have been teaching for a minimum of 20+ continuous years – making our school the most reputable in Western Australia. We are committed to providing our students with professionally run classes, with knowledgeable Instructors; who have the skills to bring out the full potential of any student who walks through our Dojang door.

If you or someone you know would like to commence or re-commence a journey in martial arts, please email: firstma@iinet.net.au or call: (08) 9275-5050.

Skipping Warm Ups

It is essential that at the commencement of every FIRST Martial Arts WA class that we allocate 15 to 20 dynamic minutes to cardio, flexibility, strength and balance drills. At First Martial Arts, we try to keep our warm-ups fresh; sometimes introducing different equipment to keep our students challenged – in this case skipping ropes!   

A well-worn Brown Belt 👊

This signifies that our students value our traditional martial art and respect the concept of time-honoured promotions – there are no quick promotions here (3 months/ 6 months+ are the bare minimum).All First Martial Arts WA students are required to meet minimum time served on each rank, in addition to strong technique, sound mental strength and a firm understanding of the syllabus. This provides them with adequate time on each rank to gain a deeper knowledge of the Art.

Next Generation of FMA Leaders

In our traditional school, with rank (no matter what age) comes responsibility and duty; so our next generation of First Martial Arts (WA) leaders are formed over the decades.
