First 2 Strike Freestyle Martial Arts are about building a community of kindred spirits learning a Practical Self-Defence Martial Art while also improving ones health and fitness, confidence, and discipline in a safe, friendly, and respectful environment.
About our Classes
First 2 Strike Freestyle Martial Arts is based in Figtree, Wollongong NSW.
Welcome to our mixed martial art program, where we focus on self-defence without the pressure of competition.
Our freestyle martial art evolves with its practitioners, drawing inspiration from traditional martial arts like, tae kwon do, choi kwon do, karate, boxing, kickboxing, muay thai, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, judo, wrestling and more. The result is a unique and effective form of self-defence that adapts to your needs and abilities.
At our studio, we believe in developing not just physical strength, but also confidence, power, focus, flexibility, coordination, balance, and overall fitness. We strive to create a safe, friendly, and supportive environment for our students to learn valuable self-defence skills while gaining important life skills.
Our classes begin with a recital of our Tenets – Courtesy, Integrity, Perseverance, Self-Control, and Indomitable Spirit. This sets the tone for a positive and respectful training session. We then move on to stretches based on yoga before starting the training.
Our Adult program is reflected through our 9 coloured belt system, taking you from White to Black Belt. We invite our students to grade from the Head Instructor when they have attended enough classes and display the appropriate skill level and aptitude for that belt. Our unique ‘Tip Testing’ or ‘Stripes’ grading technique motivates and rewards students for reaching milestones in between belt gradings.
For our Juniors/kids program, we offer a simplified version of the Adult program. Juniors begin at White Belt, with a white stripe system leading to the final Red/White Stripe Belt, depending on their age. From the age of 11, they will automatically move into the Adult program, ready to take on new challenges and continue their martial arts journey.
Join us in our quest for knowledge, preparedness, and confidence.
