Located in Hervey Bay, Warrior Martial Arts offers the Fraser Coast a unique opportunity to build self-confidence whilst developing self-defense skills.
What is Aikido? Aikido literally means ” The Way of Harmony and Spirit”.
Aikido was founded in the early 20th century by Morihei Ueshiba with the goal of creating an art people could use to defend themselves using the least amount of energy whilst also protecting their attacker from injury.
Today at Warrior Martial Arts School, we teach Takumakai Daito-Ryu Aiki-Jujutsu.
What we offer is:
- Aikido
- Jodo (The way of the staff)
- Bokken (Saito Style)
- Iaido (Live blade training in solo)
- Women’s Self-defence classes
- Ground techniques & escapes
- Control & restraint techniques (Security)
My name is Kancho Darrin Beashel and I have trained in Aikido for since 2001 and have been instructing since 2004. I now run Warrior Martial Arts School where I instruct Aikido in conjunction with weaponry as it enhances the empty hand techniques.
I run a mixed 2hr session, the first half is weapons Kata and pairs practice with Boken, Shinai, and Jo. Then we train in Aikido techniques from various forms of attack. We train in a fully equipped Dojo (training hall) with 90 square metres of matted soft fall area, all in a tranquil bush setting.
Our Self Defense classes have no fitness requirements and develop your awareness whilst teaching practical self-defense techniques from qualified security trainers with a history of training security and police officers.
Easy to find, just turn onto Torbanlea Rd from Maryborough/Hervey Bay Rd, then turn right straight away up Old Walligan Rd, then nearly 1k down on the left, just look for the sign!
