Martial Arts Programs in Stratford & Cairns

  • Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

    Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu empowers smaller or less physically strong individuals to defend against larger opponents.
    By taking the fight to the ground, practitioners learn to control and submit opponents through joint locks and chokes.
    BJJ develops focus, problem-solving skills, and confidence — making it ideal for both adults and kids in the Cairns region.

  • Muay Thai

    Known as the “Art of Eight Limbs”, Muay Thai uses fists, elbows, knees, and shins for striking.
    Deeply connected with Thai culture, Muay Thai emphasizes respect, humility, self-control, and compassion, while also delivering a powerful full-body workout and sharpening mental toughness.
