Meet Our Arakan Martial Art® Instructors
Our Arakan Martial Art® instructors are the heart of our community, personally coached and mentored by Master Robert Kyaw (Ne Htoon Kyaw), who was born and raised in Myanmar, immersed in the traditional Burmese martial art, ‘Thaing’. Master Kyaw’s lifetime of dedication to the art led to the creation of Arakan Martial Art®, a fast and effective self defence system tailored for the modern world.
As Master Kyaw's teachings gained recognition, he expanded his reach by mentoring a select group of dedicated students who have now become qualified Arakan Martial Art® instructors. These instructors carry on his legacy, passing on the benefits of this powerful martial art to students across Australia and beyond.
Our Commitment to Quality Instruction
At Arakan Martial Art®, we maintain stringent criteria and requirements to ensure our instructors deliver the highest quality training. Only those who meet these exacting standards are entrusted with the responsibility of teaching. Unfortunately, some individuals in Australia claim to teach Arakan Martial Art® without the necessary recognition. Please reach out to us to ensure you're receiving authentic training from a fully qualified and recognized Arakan instructor.
Meet Our Passionate Instructors
Our instructors are more than just teachers—they are students, constantly learning and growing. Most of our instructors dedicate over 30 hours a week to teaching, gaining valuable experience that directly benefits their students. The more they train, the more they evolve, ensuring that their knowledge and skills continue to improve over time.
Every Arakan Martial Art® instructor is deeply committed to their students' journey toward empowerment. It’s a long and rewarding path, requiring years of training, but the personal satisfaction of making a positive impact on others is unmatched.
