Dear Friends and Fellow Martial Artists
It’s taken some time for us to write this letter, but we feel it’s long overdue. You see, the “business” of martial arts in Perth has EXPLODED over the last few years and the amount of Perth Martial Arts Schools that have opened up to take advantage of this demand is unbelievable. As reputable and established martial artists, we feel a responsibility to caution budding Perth martial artists to choose their martial arts school wisely….It’s just that with this increased demand for martial arts instruction, there are many ill-prepared and quite frankly, unworthy schools opening their doors.
Now the truth is that there are many great martial arts schools in Perth. In fact we know most of the really good operators personally. We think of them as colleagues and many of them we even think of as friends…. You see many have been around for as long as us, and after 25 plus years in the Perth martial arts industry, you get to know alot of really fantastic martial artists and instructors.
So it’s not the long-term, established, reputable, and proven Perth martial arts schools that we have concerns about….it’s the fly-by-nighters that are popping up all over the place, big on ambition, big on PR, fantastic websites, but unfortunately lacking in qualifications, experience, and rank, to provide a person looking for martial arts training in Perth, the proper training venue, the opportunity of longevity in training, the right science behind their martial arts training, legitimate martial arts affiliations, and the necessary level of martial arts skills to pass on to a prospective student…and if you’ve arrived at this page looking for martial arts instruction in Perth, then I guess that prospective student is …. You.
Now this is probably where you are starting to think “just exactly who are these guys, and why are they being so negative?” ….Well to ask “who we are” could possibly be the number one question any person seeking professional martial arts training should be asking any potential martial arts instructor. If you are looking for martial arts in Perth, this will often be the question that weeds out the “want to be’s” from the “are’s”.
And as far as being negative, well I guess we’re sorry it sounds that way. It’s just that we are seeing people constantly coming through our doors that have been burned in one way or another by inferior martial arts schools, and quite frankly, we’re sick of it. We care passionately about the reputation of the martial arts industry in Perth, and more importantly we care about you!
- We care that your hard earned money is spent wisely on your martial arts dreams and goals.
- We care wholeheartedly that you achieve these goals.
- And we are absolutely set-up to guide you along the path to successfully reach your goals.
And if this search of yours is to find the best martial arts opportunity for your family members or your children….Well…How important is that?
So….Who are we?
If you’ve been around the martial arts Perth scene for awhile, or even if you’ve been researching for awhile then you may already know a bit about us. Please don’t take that as bragging or blowing our own trumpets…it’s just that we’ve been around for a LONG time, and we have achieved A LOT.
