WHY PARENTS LOVE WCAMA
At WCAMA we believe martial arts is about far more than punching and kicking.
Our experienced instructors help children become confident, respectful and resilient young people through structured training that is both challenging and fun.
Every child is encouraged at their own pace, regardless of experience or ability.
Parents consistently tell us they notice improvements not only in confidence, but also in behaviour, focus, fitness and self-esteem.
Get More Than Just Mixed Martial Arts
Martial arts teaches children skills they'll use for life.
Along with practical self-defence, every class reinforces the Bushido values of:
• Respect
• Courage
• Integrity
• Honesty
• Loyalty
• Compassion
• Self-Discipline
These values help children become better students, better teammates and more confident young people.

Brendon
I enrolled my two boys into training after considering a few other options. I couldn't be happier. It wasn't hard to get me signed up into the adults class. We have been training for 2 years now, and hope to continue for a long time!
Stuart
Great place to train for adults and kids. I’ve had three teenagers start with me, and all have benefited from the school. Excellent for adults as beginners or experienced in other styles. Great fun, hard work, good results - highly recommend.
