About AJS Selfdefence

AJS Selfdefence is a long-established martial arts school in Blacktown, in Sydney's west, specialising in Hapkido and Taekwondo under the guidance of a highly experienced grandmaster. With decades of teaching behind it, the school has built a reputation as a genuinely welcoming place where beginners are guided carefully from their very first session while higher-ranked students continue to find challenge and growth. Members describe a friendly, respectful atmosphere supported by both male and female instructors, sensible class sizes and a strong emphasis on correct technique rather than rushing through material. The training is praised as much for its social, community feel as for its practical benefits, with students returning over many years for the fitness, flexibility and real-world self-defence skills it develops.

Programs span children through to adults, with dedicated streams for women's self defence and women's Hapkido, plus private lessons for those wanting one-on-one attention or corporate and group sessions. The personal time given by the grandmaster to refine each student's technique is a recurring highlight. For Blacktown locals seeking a unique, rewarding and supportive martial art in a club that values respect and steady progress, AJS Selfdefence is a trusted choice.
