Get Fitter, Safer, Stronger. Fast.

Martial arts build muscles you never even knew you had. It’s a full-body workout combining cardio and resistance to build lean muscle, fast.

You’ll also boost your energy as your cardio increases, boost your coordination & balance, and get more flexible, too.

These Townsville Adult Martial Arts Classes are calorie-crushing, action-packed sessions.

It’s More Than Self-Defence. It’s a Way of Life.

In our Townsville Adult Martial Arts Classes, we don’t just help you get fitter, safer, and stronger. We help you build life-changing skills to excel at life – in your relationships, career, and family.

Focus. Confidence. Discipline. Goal setting. And more. Every Adult Martial Arts Class in Townsville enriches you and makes you stronger – inside and out.

We also help you stay safe with real-world self-defence. These are tactics that work even against attackers larger than you.

Melt Stress. Relieve Pain.

An amazing side-effect of our Townsville Adult Martial Arts Classes is stress & pain relief. The full-body workouts erase stress from your body.

The core-building Martial Arts techniques help your body function as it was meant to – meaning less strain on your back, neck, shoulders, and knees. Stretching and muscle-building improves range of motion. Improving oxygen flow is known to reduce Cortisol levels, or stress hormone, in the body.

Plus, after such awesome workouts, you’ll sleep better too.

There are no egos here.....just good quality instruction!

My surgeon was amazed at how fast I recovered and the level of movement that I regained after my knee replacement.

Great bunch of people, friendly instructors, and a safe, engaging activity.

I am 63 and I touched my toes yesterday after 25 years of not being able to!

Starting in CKD has been the best decision I have made for ages. It has given me a new lease of life and the best part is that I can still keep up with the grandkids!

I started CKD because I didn't want to become a little old lady who needs help just to cross the road!

It's the will. Not the skill.

Build Self-Discipline

Your starting fitness and skill levels don’t matter – as long as you put in the effort in every class, you’ll see results.

Gain Confidence

When you step out of your comfort zone in our classes, you allow space for unshakable confidence to grow.

Improve Focus

Mindfulness practices don’t go away when you step off the mat. The skills you gain in class flow into everything you do.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most frequent questions and answers about our adult program

What if I’m not in good shape?

Don’t worry if you’re not feeling at your physical peak. Our classes are specifically designed to accommodate people of all fitness levels, including those just starting their fitness journey or managing physical limitations. We focus on gradual improvements and adapt techniques to meet your unique needs, ensuring you can participate comfortably and safely at your own pace.

I’ve never done martial arts before. Will I be able to keep up?

Absolutely! Our classes are perfect for beginners, and many of our members started with no previous martial arts experience. We provide clear, step-by-step instructions and personalized guidance to ensure you understand and can perform each movement correctly. You’ll never feel rushed or left behind—our supportive instructors and members are here to help every step of the way.

Are martial arts safe for someone my age?

Yes, martial arts can be a safe and incredibly beneficial activity for individuals of any age, including those over 50. Our training focuses on non-contact, biomechanically sound movements that help build strength and flexibility without straining your body. We take great care to ensure a safe training environment, emphasizing proper form and technique to reduce the risk of injury.

What if I have specific health issues like arthritis or past surgeries?

Our martial arts program can be tailored to accommodate specific health concerns, including arthritis or recovery from surgeries. Before starting, we encourage you to discuss any medical conditions with our instructors, so we can adjust your training accordingly. Many of our exercises can actually help improve your range of motion and strengthen the muscles around affected joints, providing both physical and therapeutic benefits.

Do I have to spar, fight, or compete?

Absolutely not! Our classes focus on learning martial arts as a way to improve health and personal well-being, not on competition. We practice in a non-contact, cooperative environment where the goal is self-improvement, not fighting or sparring. You’ll learn practical self-defense techniques without the pressure or risk of combat sports.

I am not fit or flexible. Will that matter?

Not at all. Fitness and flexibility are things you’ll develop through our classes, not prerequisites. We pride ourselves on creating an inclusive environment where each individual can start their journey from any point, regardless of their initial level of fitness or flexibility. Our experienced instructors are adept at tailoring exercises to your abilities, ensuring you can participate fully and see gradual improvements.

Can I come and watch a class?

Certainly! We encourage you to come and observe a class before joining. It’s a great way to get a sense of our teaching style and the supportive atmosphere of our school. Watching a class can help ease any apprehensions you may have and give you a clearer idea of what to expect when you join.

Do you have any private beginners’ classes?

Yes, we offer private sessions for beginners who prefer a one-on-one learning experience or who may wish for a bit more privacy as they get started. These classes allow for personalized attention and a pace that’s comfortable for you, ensuring you build a solid foundation in your martial arts journey.
