Sensei Ryan Nicholls here, owner of, and head instructor at RKD Martial Arts, welcome to my Blog, Martial Arts Perth.
Not surprisingly, this Blog is about martial arts in Perth, Western Australia. Perth has a thriving martial arts community. Regardless of your flavour, it is generally taught somewhere within the Perth Metro area. From the Freestyle arts who have no real country of origin, to the Chinese arts such as Wing Chun, Hung Gar and Chow Lee Fut, to the Japanese Arts like Jujitsu, Ninjutsu, Judo, Karate and Aikido, to the Korean stalwart Taekwondo, and other Asian arts such as Muay Thai, Silat and Escrima. Through the European Arts like fencing, savate, boxing, and Greco-Roman wrestling, through to the rest of the world such as Russian Sambo, Krav Maga and Kapap from Israel and from the South Americas, BJJ and Capoeira. They are all taught within our city.
I read a statistic a while ago that said that Perth had the highest number of martial arts schools per capita in Australia – whether it is true or not, there is no denying that as a community, we are spoilt for choice.
I want to look at various things on this Blog, such as looking at individual styles available in Perth, expectations on schools and students, training and technique tips, tips for running a martial arts school, to some of the harder hitting questions within the martial arts community. I will aim to upload a new article every week though spare me the pointy end of the blade if I fail to do so (I do have a life and a dojo to run after all!).
My first article after this intro will be of the hard hitting variety and will not only be a question of integrity, but of legality too, when we look at the topic - “When does a martial arts school's claims constitute false advertising?”
Join us next week to find out – for now, subscribe to this blog and leave ideas for topics you'd like to see covered in the future in the comments section below.
For those of you who are interested, the links below are to my school's website, and a youtube vid created from some classes in action.
