In recent years in Australia, much like the rest of the world, self defence has become more important than it had been in the past. With both assaults and the use of bladed weapons in Melbourne increasing dramatically, many people have turned their attention towards taking responsibility for their own self- protection.

For both our Adults and Teen students we offer training in many different areas of self defence such as...

· Rolling · Punching · Throwing techniques · Nerve Strikes

· Break falls · Kicking · Body Evasions · Knife Defence

· Stretching · Joint Locks · Pressure Points · Awareness training

Virtually all of the training is done in pairs for example a typical drill might be they grab your lapel with their right hand and punch to the head with the left, we then practice a defence against this situation. Our partnered training methods are much better preparation for real life self defence than standing in a line and doing techniques by the numbers in the air.

However Martial Arts is not just about your body, it's also about your mind. The Bujinkan training methods offer many opportunities for you to improve your spirit; strategic thinking is the foundation of our martial art training.'

Physical Training
We have a full range of Self Defence techniques in the Bujinkan, Joint locks and controls are common in most techniques (any joint on the body can be locked). Striking is done with all parts of the body such as hands, elbows, head, knees, kicking etc. These are usually done while at the same time applying Pressure Points and Nerve Strikes to slow the attacker down.

Additional techniques including body drops, airway constrictions, flesh grabbing, balance breaking and defence against multiple attackers both with and without weapons are also corner stones of Bujinkan training. This is all applied using evasive footwork so you are much harder to hit. We believe that our training is one of the most complete martial arts systems that you will ever experience. We are proud of the quality and quantity of training available for our students at Guests Martial Arts.
