school of freestyle martial arts

Perth's "School of Freestyle Martial Arts" is located on Government Road in Nedlands. Centrally located behind Karrakatta cemetery - there is plenty of parking available.

Operating since 2001, School of Freestyle Martial Arts has seen many local and out of area kids progress from Little Dragons to Black Belt. Some of the founding students now assist as instructors in the various classes which is indicative of the sense of community built within the Dojo.
