Self Defence Classes and Private Lessons | Arakan Martial Art

Learn fast, effective
street fighting techniques



Arakan Martial Art® isn’t for the ring; it’s for real life self defence.

In today’s world, knowing how to protect yourself and your loved ones is more important than ever, and that’s exactly what we teach. Arakan Martial Art® equips you with the skills, mindset, and street-smart strategies to handle dangerous situations effectively, with minimal risk or injury. Unlike competitive sports, we focus on practical strikes, kicks, and techniques that are often banned in other martial art competitions.

Modernised by Master Robert Kyaw, this powerful system stems from the traditional Rakhine Thaing, an ancient Burmese martial art, offering a fast, effective self defence method for today’s world. It’s an art steeped in tradition, reserved only for those who are truly committed.

"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."
