Arakan Martial Art

"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 originally started training in Arakan Martial Art as a form of self defence when there was a rise in attacks on women on the Gold Coast.

Being a small lady (all of 45kg), I knew that I would be an easy target for uncomfortable or life threatening attacks so I decided to take action and learn a form of martial art / self defence.

It has not been a year yet in my Arakan journey, but looking back I have never regretted the choice I made to learn this life changing skill. An added bonus is also becoming fitter and stronger than I’ve ever been before. I am much fitter physically and mentally than I could ever be, and this is just the start (still an Arakan baby), looking at life in a more positive way.

I highly recommend all women to learn self defence. From a woman’s point of view, it is a rewarding and empowering feeling to be able to be in control and take control of an uncomfortable or life threatening situation through the skill of martial arts / self defence

Learn How to Fight

If you're in your 20s and serious about learning how to fight, you're probably weighing your options. Boxing, MMA, traditional martial arts—all of these can teach you valuable skills. But when it comes to real-world self-defence, where there are no rules and anything can happen, you need something more practical, something designed for the street rather than the ring.

That’s where Arakan Martial Art comes in.
