About ACT Australia
ACT Australia (Armed Combat & Tactics) is an Osborne Park self-defence and martial arts school specialising in tactical combat systems. The school teaches A.C.T., an international weapon-fighting and self-defence system, alongside Krav Maga, the practical, military-derived self-defence method, making it a distinctive option for Perth students focused on real-world personal safety.
Training blends armed and unarmed combat skills with the conditioning and reflexes that come from regular practice, and the school also runs custom workshops and seminars for workplaces, schools and other martial-arts and fitness institutions. Instruction is led by certified, high-ranking practitioners who have trained internationally and attended overseas camps.
ACT Australia suits adults and groups who want to develop confidence, situational awareness and effective self-defence skills rather than purely sport-based martial arts. Whether someone is new to self-defence or an experienced martial artist looking to add weapon-defence and tactical skills, the school offers a focused, instructor-led environment built around practical, applicable training.
