"Past a point, Arakan becomes no longer just about kicking, striking or fighting. It's about discovering yourself on many levels, it's about exploring your limits and moving through those limits."

We believe everyone has the right to feel safe.

We understand we live in a society where it’s become vital to have the skills to effectively protect ourselves and our loved ones, which is exactly what we teach. At Arakan Martial Art® you will learn the techniques, strategies and mind-set to effectively and efficiently take control of any street situation quickly.

Arakan Martial Art® was created for the ‘real world’, with a focus on fast, powerful, practical and adaptable street self-defence techniques.

It stems from a traditional Burmese martial art which Master Robert Kyaw (Ne Htoon Kyaw) - who created this modern self-defence style - has a direct lineage to.

Over his lifetime, Master Kyaw has adapted this traditional style to suit today’s urban environment, resulting in a fast and effective self-protection style perfectly suited for the modern world in which we live.

I love the 1:1 lesson format – I get so much out of my 1-hour lesson with Daniel Octoriver– it’s like a personal training session but so much more – not only do you work on your fitness, strength and conditioning but you also are learning a very effective self-defence and practical martial art that works all muscle groups and the mind. In that 1 hour I don’t think of anything else – just put myself into the hands of Daniel who tailors each lesson to build on my capabilities and confidence, encouraging and pushing me in equal measure.

It sets me up for the day and week – mentally and physically. I feel stronger in my core – feel like I am 5 years younger!
