Combat Karate is an extremely effective, safe and controlled refreshingly modern freestyle system of devastating martial arts training that will accelerate your health, fitness, flexibility, strength, power and confidence to amazing levels.
Defend Yourself, Family & Friends from Violent Attackers
International Martial Arts Master Shihan (Master Instructor) Martin Day 6th Dan Black Belt assisted by European and Western Australia State tournament champion Sensei Patricia Fast 4th Dan teach students how to defend themselves against one or more attackers during the students very first lesson. All Combat Karate instructors demonstrate devastatingly effective British Army unarmed combat street situation self defence, multiple target high kicking and speed punching martial arts tournament combinations and bodyweight conditioning exercise routines in a lead by example way that is very rarely seen in other martial arts, combat sports, mixed martial arts and karate systems today.
No Overweight “Fat Bellied ‘Instructors’” in Combat Karate
We do not have and will NEVER have any overweight, unfit, lazy or ego laden Combat Karate instructors (or students)! All instructors lead by example in and out of the Dojo and are totally dedicated to all that our system of Combat Karate represents.
Instructors Demonstrate & Inspire Students in EVERY Class
Shihan, Sensei Patricia Fast 4th Dan and all instructors demonstrate ALL techniques in an inspirational lead by example way that Combat Karate is renowned for. This includes the dynamic exercise warm up, flexibility warm down, real (safe) street self defence and self protection actions, tournament sparring, competition punching, kicking, leg sweeps, pressure point striking, takedowns, holds, arrest and restraint techniques and Army unarmed combat.
Move Beyond Your Limits
Combat Karate is not just about a striking, disciplined martial art. It’s more than that. As you progress through your training and the positively challenging grading assessment syllabus that we are renowned for, you will realise that our training is much more.
The Combat Karate training system was planned, devised and implemented by Martin Day (Shihan) during his 20 years of service in the British Army including time he spent with Special Forces. He also trained with a few traditional martial arts organisations and was disappointed that there was an ongoing demand for over inflated training fees, yearly contracts (pay in advance) with no refunds, and worse of all…a distinct lack of effective self defence, tournament techniques, bodyweight conditioning and flexibility exercises. There was also no ‘lead by example’ and inspirational instruction.
That’s why he founded Combat Karate in England in 1996, Perth in 2004 and Noosa on the Sunshine Coast of Queensland in 2010.
When you train with us you will immediately realise that our training is much more.
Be Part of a Dedicated & Motivated Family of Students
It’s about being part of a dedicated and loyal training family of students and their families. It’s about discovering more about yourself and your capabilities and moving past your pre conceived limits.
Shihan knows all about ‘limits’ of endurance and he knows that when the going gets tough the tough get going! He has trained male and female military personnel and Law Enforcement Agencies all over the world in self defence and continues to teach specialised courses to businesses and the private sector.
For more information on these courses and one to one training click here.
He has also said time and again that “You are only as good as your last training session!” he continues to train EVERY day as he believes that everyone in a position of responsibility should do this in order to set an example and maintain the obvious resultant health and fitness benefits.
Learn Kata & Kumite in a Friendly & Safe Environment
We teach Combat Karate Kata also known as forms or patterns in other fighting arts training systems along with free sparring and tournament sparring, also known as Kumite or free fighting, in a safe and supervised way under semi contact rules. Our Chief Instructor, instructors and students have won Australian State, English and European Championship Titles and we have a very talented tournament competition squad in all of our clubs.
We compete in competitions within National All Styles (NAS) organisation here. NAS Australian National and State Titles take place every year. Shihan Martin Day was offered the position of NAS State Director for Western Australia but unfortunately he had to turn it down due to other commitments.
All Combat Karate Training Is Pay As You Go
We have no student lock in contracts for training. We do not follow other organisations who demand a big financial commitment payable in advance for one year or longer in a contract that they cannot get out of. We are different, we are a modern thinking and professional non profit making organisation, we listen to what our students and their families are saying. Most people are doing it tough financially and we do not discriminate in favour of teaching students who have money; that’s why we have:
- No Binding Contracts
- No Direct Deposits
- No Monthly Payment Plans
- You Pay As You Train
- Family Discounts
