WHY CHOOSE MARTIAL ARTS?

There's so many activities you can choose both for yourself or your child, and it can be overwhelming to choose which one to do.

For kids, martial arts helps them boost their confidence, make new friends, and make progress towards something meaningful. They will also learn the skills to stand up to bullies without getting physical.

For adults, you'll learn self-defense skills you can use to protect yourself in any situation, meet new people, and be able to relax and unwind (finally some "me time"!)

WHY CHOOSE US?

There's a few martial arts schools in Seymour, Maryville, and the surrounding area, but there's a few things that set us apart from the rest.

Firstly, our instructors are masters of the art. Many martial arts instructors are really people looking for a "business opportunity" who don't know much about martial arts and just want to make money.

Our instructors on the other hand have decades of combined experience working with both kids and adults, and have earned prestigious ranks and awards.

Not only that, but our sole focus is giving each student the personalised attention you need to succeed. Many schools have massive, packed classes that make students feel isolated and prevent them making real progress - and that's why you'll be getting personalised attention from our instructors in every class.

When you choose us, you'll be getting the highest quality instruction in the area, and you'll be joining a welcoming community that can help you with anything you need.

"The adult Boei Shido  classes are amazing. I took Mr. Hyatt's classes when he was in WA and I still attend that school. You learn practical defense techniques taken from several martial arts disciplines. The system is designed to not only give you the tools to defend yourself, but also confidence and situational awareness. Highly recommend!!" - Dan F.

"I have been working with this instructor for 4 years now. This is an awesome class for people who are older, not the most flexible or has physical issues but still want to be able to defend yourself. It's also amazing if you are young and bendy. I highly recommend these classes." - Corrinne D.
