About Kapap Academy
Sozokan Academy of Martial Arts & Fitness, trading in Maddington as Kapap Academy, is one of Perth's broadest martial arts schools, offering an unusually wide range of styles under one roof. From traditional disciplines through to realistic, practical self-defence, it caters to everyone from curious first-timers to seasoned practitioners, and members consistently describe a warm, friendly environment that feels like home.
The academy is built around hands-on instruction across many arts, with structured pathways for kids, teens, adults and women, plus dedicated mixed martial arts and specialist training. Classes run seven days a week across a fully equipped space featuring a cage, jiu-jitsu mats and boxing bags, so students can train in striking, grappling and weapons work as their interests develop. The emphasis is on real progression: put the effort in and the coaching follows.
What sets the academy apart is the depth of experience behind it and the genuine focus on each student's development, whether the goal is fitness, confidence, competition or practical self-protection. For Maddington and the wider south-eastern Perth community, it offers a serious yet welcoming home for martial arts that can grow with a student over many years.
