Family

At TKMA, Family Is at the Heart of Everything We Do

From your very first class, you’ll notice something special about the TKMA community—we’re built on family values. Whether it’s spouses encouraging each other, parents and children sharing the mat, or siblings and cousins learning side by side, our school thrives on the strength of families training together.

Each student, regardless of age or background, is supported to grow at their own pace and level. As families train together, they experience the shared joy of mastering new techniques, reaching new milestones, and building physical and mental resilience. These shared experiences don’t just build better martial artists—they build stronger family bonds. We often hear parents say, “This is the best thing we’ve ever done together,” and kids proudly talk about how they’re learning just like mum or dad. It’s a connection that continues well beyond the training floor.

There’s something powerful about sweating, laughing, and growing together. We’ve seen shy kids blossom into confident teens, parents reignite their fitness and focus, and whole families cheering each other on at grading days. After all, a family that trains together always has something to talk about—and memories to share for years to come.

Classes for Every Age and Stage

Our classes are open to students aged 4 years through to adults, and we welcome new students at any time throughout the year. Each class is structured to accommodate different experience levels, so beginners and more advanced students can train side by side, each working on their own development.

The Taekidokai curriculum is designed with care:

• For young children, it’s safe, engaging, and movement-focused, helping develop coordination, balance, discipline, and listening skills.

• For adults, it’s physically challenging and mentally rewarding, offering practical self-defence, fitness, flexibility, and stress relief.

Our teaching methods emphasise respect, patience, and personal growth, so whether you’re training for fun, fitness, self-defence, or a black belt, you’ll be supported every step of the way.

More Than Martial Arts – A Way of Life

At TKMA, martial arts is more than just a sport—it’s a lifestyle that promotes confidence, resilience, and respect. We teach practical, easy-to-learn self-defence skills that help students feel safer and more capable in everyday life. Just as importantly, we foster the kind of mental strength that helps children in the classroom, teens in their social development, and adults in managing life’s many demands.

Whether you’re looking for a healthy family activity, a way to connect with your kids, or a challenge for yourself, TKMA provides an environment where everyone can train, grow, and thrive—together.
