Self Defence Seminars
At Arakan Martial Art® our mission is ‘to empower our members and to add value to their lives…’ we believe there is no greater way to achieve this than by learning to protect yourself and loved ones.
Arakan Martial Art® Seminars provide you with an opportunity to learn fast and effective self-defence techniques in different environments and against different stimuli. We have held seminars in a real Night Club, Train, Gaol, a home and even in your car! You will learn effective and efficient self-protection techniques in close quarters or even against multiple attackers. Being confined to a car, train or bar is no barrier to effectively being able to defend yourself and loved ones.
During these Seminars, you will have the opportunity to learn to defend yourself against a potential attack with a weapon, such as a baseball bat or knife. What if you are dragged to the ground or somehow ended up there in a potentially worse situation? What if someone was in your home?
In order to become ‘street effective’ and be able to defend yourself in a real situation, you will need to be able to apply your skills with lightning fast reflexes; automatically, instantly and effectively.
The purpose of these seminars is to enable you to learn to do just that. By ‘role playing’ various ‘real life street scenarios’, you will have the opportunity to apply your skills so that they become fast and effective reflexes. Your safety and well-being is our number one priority. This ‘role play’ helps increase your threshold and enables you to be better prepared physically, emotionally and mentally should you be confronted in a real life situation.
These seminars help you to fully immerse yourself into your training and you will begin to see amazing results and this transposes into other areas of your life. It better equips you to deal with other situations that may arise or better manage unforeseeable events.
Below is a list of just a few of the Seminars we have held.

Home Invasion / Defence Seminar
One of the most intense situations that anyone can face would be dealing with someone invading your home, your private sanctuary.
Did you know that in 2017 a ‘home invasion’ occurred 1 in every 3 minutes across Australia! It takes a burglar less than 5 minutes to ‘break in to’ your property and 1 in 10 households that were broken in to had someone home. (Source www.abs.gov.au)
That’s frightening statistics. Would you know what to do if someone attempted or even entered your home when you where there? What if you wake up to find someone in your home? What would you do if you surprised the burglars and the situation escalated? What if you have loved ones / children in the home? Would you know how to safe guard them, as well as yourself? Would you know how to defend your property, yourself and loved one if they are carrying weapons? What if you are asleep and someone attacks you whilst you are lying in bed?
During this seminar, we put students through these scenarios and many more, in a real house and give you real skills to handle a home invasion. This is as real as it gets in a safe and controlled environment.
During this seminar, you will learn how:
