About Us

At Geelong Martial Arts, we believe that Martial Arts is for everyone. As experienced martial artists, we also believe that having fun while learning skills, building confidence and strong friendships is the key to staying active and strong.

At Geelong Martial Arts our group classes, personal training and goal-focused programming mean that you are always growing mentally and physically. Our training approach is that with consistency and a goal, we as individuals are able to achieve anything. A black belt is a white belt that never gave up! We do not believe that you should be ‘thrown in the deep end and learn as we did’, thus, designing Kyokushin and BJJ beginner program to ensure your success in these disciplines. 

We are proud to be affiliated with long-time coach Thiago Stefanutti and Onya Association based in Brazil and Shihan Ritchie Saunders and various respected Shihans in Geelong as part of the All Japan Kyokushin Union. We thank each and everyone of you for your support and friendship.

We currently offer Brazilian Jiu Jitsu classes for children, under the Little and Young Jaguars program and adults in both, Gi and No-Gi, all year round. We also offer Kyokushin Karate classes for children, under the Young Lions program and adults. We are proud to provide Beginners Kyokushin Karate course, Sempai Lili’s own designed program for those wanting to start Kyokushin without being thrown into the ‘deep end’.

We look forward to welcoming you to our inclusive and family-friendly gym, let us help you achieve your martial arts and fitness goals.
