Matt Fiddes Martial Arts Benowa

Matt Fiddes Martial Arts Benowa is part of one of the world's largest martial arts organisations, bringing structured, confidence-building training to families on the Gold Coast. The Benowa school focuses on far more than self-defence, using martial arts as a vehicle to develop discipline, resilience and self-belief in students of every age.

The approach is strongly family-oriented, with age-appropriate pathways that start with the very young and progress through to teenagers and adults. Classes are designed to be welcoming and supportive, so newcomers can step onto the mats without prior experience and build skills at their own pace within an encouraging group environment.

For Benowa parents wanting their children to grow in confidence, or adults looking for a martial arts practice that also keeps them active and focused, the school offers a clear progression and a positive culture. A free introductory class makes it easy to see whether the program is the right fit before committing, so you can experience the training and atmosphere first-hand.
