Contemporary Martial Arts Gym

At CMAG, we go beyond sport and traditional martial arts training to provide a comprehensive self-defence and life skills program that equips individuals with the tools they need to navigate both school and community environments with confidence, resilience, and discipline.

What Makes CMAG Unique?

1. A Standalone Self-Defence System:

While martial arts like Kickboxing and Karate build strength, discipline, and coordination, self-defence is a unique skill set that requires its own dedicated focus. At CMAG, we teach students how to protect themselves without resorting to unnecessary force, ensuring they can respond appropriately while avoiding disciplinary consequences at school and in society.

2. Self-Defence First Approach:

Unlike many martial arts programs that primarily focus on sport or tradition, CMAG prioritizes real-world self-defence.

Our training prepares participants to handle bullying, confrontation, and threats of physical harm with essential proactive and reactive skills. The techniques taught are the same strategies used in my role as a consultant and self-defence instructor across multiple schools in Victoria, as well as previously in Queensland and the Northern Territory.

3. Life Skills Development:

Parents don’t just bring their children to CMAG for physical training—they come for life skills. Our structured grading system integrates personal development attributes such as:

  • Resilience

  • Respect

  • Self-control

  • Goal setting

  • Leadership

  • Attention and discipline

  • Self-purpose

  • Fitness and health

These skills are not just by-products of training; they are core requirements built into the curriculum to ensure students actively develop them, both physically and mentally.

4. A Balanced Approach:

While we emphasize realistic self-defence, our training also instills the discipline and respect necessary to use force only when appropriate. Students learn to de-escalate situations, build confidence, and apply their skills responsibly.

What CMAG Offers Beyond Others.

Specialized self-defence training tailored for real-world scenarios. A dedicated focus on life skills, not just sport or competition.
