Your Trusted Partner for Martial Arts & Self-Defence Training
Arakan Martial Art was founded on the principle that self-defence should be practical, accessible, and tailored to real-world scenarios. Developed by Master Robert Kyaw, our system modernises the ancient Burmese martial art of Rhakine Thang, focusing on techniques that prioritise survival over competition. We believe in empowering individuals of all ages, genders, and fitness levels through customised training that builds confidence, physical resilience, and situational awareness. Our instructors, many of whom teach full-time, are dedicated to delivering lessons seven days a week, ensuring flexibility for our students. With locations across major Australian cities, including Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Perth, we provide both private and group sessions designed to address modern threats, from night-time urban risks to personal safety in everyday environments.Our approach extends beyond physical techniques, fostering mental discipline and a supportive community that encourages personal growth. By rejecting sport-oriented rules, we ensure our students learn only the most effective methods for real-life confrontations. This commitment to practicality and empowerment has made Arakan Martial Art a trusted choice for individuals seeking genuine self-defence skills.
