It is our aim at Total Self Defence Academy to develop "Bully-Proof Confidence" in our members, to live a happy life and have fun doing it! Our highly committed team of instructors are dedicated to teaching our members martial arts self defence skills in a fun environment, ensuring they learn how to protect themselves while improving their mental & physical coordination.
TSDA has taught thousands of students in the local area for over 30 years! In our Blacktown & Quakers Hill classes, TSDA offers our students a great level of martial arts development, tournament and fitness specific classes, and also offer training and development for our committed students through our TSDA Leadership Program!
TSDA Blue Mountains is our newest club, with Head Instructor, Chris. Chris has 29 years of experience and is currently 3rd Dan Black Belt in Hapkido & 2nd Dan in Taekwondo. Chris is enthusiastic and keen to pass his years of experience on. Look out Blue Mountains, TSDA is here! Head Instructor Chris has over 29 years of experience, is highly enthusiastic and knowledgable in Hapkido and it's history.
Our Juniors classes set strong foundations in the early stages of their schooling, development and martial arts journey. Students, through learning the Korean art, will develop confidence, improve focus, develop mental alertness and coordination, whilst increasing their fitness, flexibility, and reaction time.
99% of any student starting with us has never done any form of martial art, and in fact most adults that start have said "they've wanted to do martial arts their whole life!" The right time to start is NOW. Regardless of your age, ability, fitness level or injuries, we work with you - and help you achieve those goals you have been wanting to achieve for years!

We would just like to thank Master K, Ma’am Jamie and the instructors. Our son started training with you guys nearly 2.5 years ago to assist with anger management issues & social skills. We later found out is was because of bullying. With your assistance he has gone from the bottom of the class to the top 4 of his class. We don’t get detentions and… he is calmer and enjoying school. He’s kicking goals in the classroom but also in his sports representing his school at zone athletics and PSSA. It takes special people to give up their time for other people’s children

Began at Total Kickboxing fitness a year and a half ago. it was a relaxed, fun, social environment to get fit and trainers would personalise workouts to size and strength of group. Classes have become very structured and lost the community feel and personal touch. You want to feel like your trainer cares about your fitness goals. Also rather expensive for what you get.

My son who is now 7 has struggled with bullying and low strength as a result of prematurity. Our physio recommended trying martial arts and we have been so happy to have found Chris Bartlett and TSDA. Our son has seen great improvements in his strength, balance and coordination since starting 3 months ago and his physio is amazed at his improvements since starting Hapkido. I thoroughly recommend this form of martial art to anyone with little ones who struggle a bit with strength and coordination! So happy to be part of this amazing family.
