About KMA Martial Arts - Self Defence Classes Sunshine Coast

KMA Martial Arts is a Sunshine Coast self-defence and martial arts school based in Buderim, with a second training location at Mooloolah Valley. The school blends several disciplines, including Hapkido combatives, traditional Taekwondo, kickboxing and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, into a practical, well-rounded program that covers striking, kicking, joint locks and ground fighting.

The heart of KMA is its community. Families describe it as feeling like a second home, with parents noting dramatic gains in their children's confidence, focus and self-worth. Instruction is patient and adaptable, so beginners and more experienced students alike feel both welcomed and challenged. Healthy life habits, respect and listening are woven through the teaching as much as the techniques themselves.

With classes tailored to little ones through to adults, plus private lessons and practical self-defence courses, KMA suits anyone in the Buderim area looking to build real-world skills, fitness and resilience in a supportive, family-oriented setting. School self-defence workshops extend that reach into the wider community.
