Student Testimonials

I have been training in the art for just over four years now. I am so passionate about the art, it gives you practical skills based on real life situations. It is challenging, some times confronting but it enhances your awareness, coordination and it increases your confidence. If anyone was looking to try a Martial Arts, this would be the go-to, its unlike anything else.

It's fair to say that Arakan found me... A sliding doors moment.
I've been training with Brandon for three years and during this time he has guided me along my own personal journey. I've become a better version of myself and a welcome member of the Arakan family. As an Instructor Brandon is  professional, focused and 100 percent committed to helping his students achieve and succeed. My work takes me overseas often. I've learnt and continue to learn practical, real life self defence and situational awareness. Brandon has also taught me how to diffuse the potentially life threatening situations I've found myself in while travelling before they got out of hand.

I have been training for 3 years now, and recently commenced training with Branden and feel he has already added significantly to my Arakan journey. His highly technical, real world learning approach combined with his ability to communicate concepts and ideas that he brings to our lessons have made each lesson enjoyable, practical and wanting more. I highly recommend Branden as an instructor.

My son Deklan is a naturally kind and gentle boy, who as an only child has never had to endure the competition and ruff and tumble of other siblings. Reading how daunting and challenging schools can be these days I was very keen to get him involved in self defense but wasn’t sure what was going to be the best fit for him.

In a chance encounter at a community fate we saw the Arakan stand and after talking to the guys I was really impressed with how friendly the team was and how passionate they were to get Deklan into his first lesson. And here is the part that grabbed me the most, the training is done outdoors in parks and school grounds while wearing shirts and shorts and everyday shoes, now that’s real life training. We booked in straight away for our complimentary lesson and Deklan couldn’t wait to get started.

On the day of his first lesson Deklan was quite nervous but Ryan his instructor made him feel completely relaxed and the lesson was a great mix of training and learning through fun games. At the end of the lesson Deklan ran straight up to me and asked if he could do more training tomorrow and the next day, which was a sure sign he loved it. He has now been training for over 3 years and as much as Arakan is about learning self defense and getting fit I have seen Deklan grow in confidence, co-ordination, self respect and self belief. 

Deklan now jumps at every opportunity to do extra lessons and group training and he totally loves going to school holiday training days and he wears his Arakan uniform with absolute pride.

I can honestly say I have been totally impressed with how Arakan has taught him practical, useable skills in real life environments and we look forward to many more years involvement with the Arakan family.
