WHAT IS ARAKAN MARTIAL ART ?
Arakan Martial Art is a unique and complete self defence system. Based on ancient martial arts techniques and concepts, Arakan Martial Art has been adapted to meet the self defence needs of modern urban environments and situations.
Arakan Martial Art® is not, nor has ever been, a ‘ring’ or competition based style. The focus is on perfectly practical, no-nonsense and adaptable self-defence techniques. The very nature of a ‘real life situation’ can be chaotic, so there are no set rules or parameters in being able to defend yourself and your loved ones.
Arakan Martial Art® utilises your whole body as a weapon - from elbows to knees, open palms, edge hands, closed fists, locks, deflections, traps, blocks, bridges, kicks, forearms, your head – the list goes on! With consistent training, you will develop impenetrable defences and intricate footwork that allow you to dynamically flow around an opponent, giving you a huge advantage in a street situation.
Arakan Martial Art® is an incredibly powerful, effective and efficient martial art form that can be utilised in a huge range of situations. Whether it’s close quarters combat or in longer range scenarios, against one or multiple attackers, or even against street weapons. Practitioners become conditioned to develop lightning fast reflexes with the ability to strike and defend at any distance and from various angles.
This journey is designed to challenge you, motivate you, inspire you, and bring out the very best in you.
WHAT DO ARAKAN MARTIAL ART® STUDENTS LEARN?
Once you begin your journey, you will learn to tap into energy reserves you didn’t know existed, and command your body in ways you never thought imaginable.
You will learn to move your body in dynamic ways by developing a greater understanding of body weight, momentum and how to move with a path of least resistance. Through dedication and commitment to your training, you will learn to strike and defend in any distance and from various angles and gain an advanced understanding of energy slings and circuits to produce your movements with precision, speed, power and flow. You will learn how to use your opponent’s size and energy against them, meaning you don’t have to be the biggest person in the room to protect yourself effectively.
During training, you will master a greater awareness of how every course of action has a reaction, and how this relates to a self-defence situation as well as your life journey. When you are fully immersed in your training you will begin to see amazing results that transpose into all areas of your life.
We believe that Arakan Martial Art® better equips you to deal with challenges you will face throughout life, giving you greater confidence, empowerment, focus, and awareness whilst also improving your overall health and well-being.
