About Arakan Martial Art - Benowa Netball Courts
Arakan Martial Art brings a modern, reality-based approach to self-defence to the Ashmore community on the Gold Coast. Training here focuses on practical, fast-to-learn techniques designed for real-life situations rather than competition or sport, making it a welcoming entry point for people who want genuine self-protection skills.
The system, modernised by Master Robert Kyaw, emphasises effectiveness and confidence over flashy forms. Sessions run from the Benowa Netball Courts, and the school caters to a broad range of students through group classes, private lessons and tailored workshops, including specialised programs for people on the autism spectrum and survivors of domestic violence.
Whether you are completely new to martial arts or looking to sharpen your awareness and reactions, Arakan offers a supportive, no-ego environment built around practical instruction. The emphasis on team-building events and instructor development reflects a community that grows together, helping members build both physical capability and personal resilience over time.
