Weststar Martial Arts
At WestStar we'll help you to get fitter, stronger, more confident, and defend yourself and your loved ones by teaching you a powerful, practical self defence system that will put you in the best shape of your life. We teach the Northstar Ju Jitsu system, a unique set of self defence programs for children and adults that integrates the best elements of Ju Jitsu, Taekwondo, Judo, and Kickboxing.

The system has 3 specific programs: 2 for children, our Bright Stars program (5-8 yr olds), our Super Stars program (9-14 yr olds); and a separate class for Adults. Our classes are centrally located in SUBIACO just north of the river for easy access from anywhere in Perth. Beyond the punches and the kicks lies the greatest lesson in Northstar Ju Jitsu - learning about yourself.

We know it can be a bit intimidating attending your first martial arts class. That's why we pride ourselves on making your first martial arts experience as positive and enjoyable as possible. We pay special attention to new people, and help each individual as much as we can reach their potential and beyond.
At WestStar we teach martial arts designed specifically for children. It's a practical, fun, easy to learn system that instils the fundamentals of Martial Arts technique, self defence, confidence, discipline, respect, and focus. In our kid's martial arts classes they will learn a combination of punches, kicks, and self defence moves developed from Taekwondo, Kickboxing, Judo and Ju Jitsu.
At WestStar Martial Arts we teach the Northstar Ju Jitsu system. 5 minutes to learn, a lifetime to master. We guarantee that even after your first class you will have usable skills that will stay with you for life. Northstar Ju Jitsu immortalises the spirit of the ancient samurai in modern society, offering a newer, evolved approach to martial arts.
From the first lesson you will learn basic, practical self defence moves that can be used immediately. It really depends on your schedule. For children we recommend once per week, for adults you can choose from 5 classes each week. The cost depends on how often you can train and your level of commitment, but the average is around $14 for a 1 hour adult class, and $19 for children.
Get ready for a dynamic mix of street smart self defence, sweat, and spirit creating the ultimate martial arts work out! When you arrive you will be welcomed by our friendly WestStar Staff. You may want to arrive a few minutes early to your first lesson as we will get you to fill in some basic details.

My 7 year old daughter has trained with Weststar Martial Arts for the last 18months. She has really loved the classes. As well as teaching the physical skills of self defence and martial arts, Sensei Stephen also works on teaching the children many other important skills like respect, self awareness, staying calm and determination. Each time she gets a new belt, there is a real sense of achievement and it has been wonderful to watch her confidence grow.

I enrolled my son for this classes after reading the good reviews. Paying for 6 months classes while in fact they are running only for 4 months! Why should we pay for 2 extra months (i.e., 33% more) when there are not classes at all? They made you sign a “contract” without telling you that you’re paying 33% extra (as there are no classes during Dec and Jan). Very deceiving, I do not recommend.

I've been training at Weststar for four and a half years now and it has helped me so much. Under the sensei, Stephen Renton, I've managed to grow in not only martial arts skill and physical ability, but also confidence, discipline and so many more good qualities. The training is fun, whilst still being challenging. I couldn't recommend Weststar more!

I was searching for something to be passionate about whilst keeping me both physically and mentally fit. The challenge and discipline that is martial arts inspires me every week to grow and improve. Stephen is an excellent sensei and has created a friendly and inviting atmosphere in which to learn the northstar system.
Really wish I discovered this years ago!!

I trained with Sensei Stephen for a year and I absolutely loved it. Very professional and insightful. Each class is different and not at all boring. I am more confident now.
