At Kids Martial Arts Academy, our philosophy is simple: we want the same for your child as you do - for them to be safe and become self-reliant individuals who are able to make intelligent choices in their life. The best way we know how is through martial arts - a skill that will not only allow them to practise their focus, learn discipline, build confidence and fitness, but where they will also learn how to protect themselves.
We are excited for the journey that you and your child will take on with us, in helping them realise their fullest potential. Once your child is enrolled in our kids martial arts program, it is a partnership we form - in providing a safe haven for them to learn, make mistakes and grow to become better versions of themselves.

I did my due diligence to find a Karate class for my two boys to attend. Sensei Dilshan (4th degree Black Belt) has over 20 years of experience and is a highly skilled and reputable practitioner. In addition to being a Karate instructor Sensei Dilshan is also a certified personal trainer, group fitness instructor and Kids yoga instructor. His classes creates a good athletic base that improves Kids stamina, reflexes, strength, and conflict resolution skills. They learn respect, goal setting, self defence, and the best part is it keeps my Boys active and fit. My Boys enjoy their lessons and have

A fantastic place for your kids to learn martial arts. A great teacher who truly engages each of his students. As well as learning martial arts techniques, they work on fitness and real life self defence lessons which promote awareness of surroundings.
The instructor has good values and he imparts these on the students encouraging self discipline outside of the class as well
Invitations to grading are genuine and not a tick box activity. It’s not about remembering the steps of a kata you need to demonstrate focus and the right attitude
That said, Dilshan is considered and gentle in his approach

My son joined after trialling another academy and the difference has been remarkable.
The teacher is amazing and each week the children learn something new. The morals and values that are taught has a huge impact on children in class, at home and at school. To say I am delighted as a parent is an under statement. My son runs to class as he loves it so much. Well worth the investment. 💚

I cannot thank Dilshan enough for his wonderful academy. As a teacher I am constantly impressed by his manner, ways of communicating and his understanding of the the skills that our children need. His classes are dynamic, uplifting, always positive and in equal parts challenging. It is great value for money and I find his personal attitude towards life inspirational. I cannot speak highly enough of this man, his team, his academy and the amazing work he does with our children.
