RKD is a Freestyle or Mixed Martial Art (MMA) that focuses on a practical approach to self defence, and the physical health and mental well-being of our students. We run out of a dedicated facility (not a hired hall), specifically set up for martial arts training in the Perth suburb of Bassendean. The self defence syllabus of RKD is based on the Krav Maga Worldwide syllabus.
RKD Martial Arts classes begin with a warm-up session to prepare our bodies and minds for the lesson as well as working on our fitness and strength. This is followed by stretching exercises to ensure our muscles are prepared for training. Stretching also helps to increase our flexibility for kicking and other techniques.
Our Adult Classes are suitable for both men and women aged over 15 who are interested in self defense and fitness. Our Kickboxing Perth Classes are suitable for both men and women aged over 14 who are interested in the sport side of martial arts or aren't interested in doing belt levels and gradings.
Our unique self defence classes will help you to understand and use the instinctual defence reactions of the body as a natural mechanism to defend yourself successfully! You don't need to be a seasoned martial artist to defend yourself. Real self defense is fast, effective and easy to apply - and it is nothing like what you see in the movies!
RKD Martial Arts is a mixture of many styles with ninjutsu, jiu jitsu, kickboxing, and karate being the biggest influences. Whether looking at striking and kicking, locking and throws in grappling range, wrestling on the ground, or weapons combat and defence, our syllabus covers it. Effective and efficient self defence is our only goal.

Went to the gym for a sparring event. Ryan was very welcoming and really helpful. His gym is well set up and quite spacious. My wife came to watch and remarked on how clean the toilets were.
Definitely worth a look if you live in the area.

My daughter loves parkour at RKD. The classes are smaller than others we've tried. The instructor is highly skilled. Each class is a progression and it's great to see how far she got in a term. Looking forward to seeing what the next level brings!

. My daughter and I attended a private self defence training class with Ryan today and it was fantastic! Between the hands-on activities and drills, the easy to understand instructions and the practical advise;… I felt we came away from the session with a significantly deeper knowledge of how to defend ourselves. I would definitely recommend.

Two years in and I can safely say the courses are fantastic, it's something different every time you go but always relevant and always working towards your goals. Ryan is a great instructor he is patient and is… happy to explain and re explain as many times as necessary. I always look forward to the lessons and would recommend to anyone looking for a challenge. - Student in self defense and Escrima
