About School of Freestyle Martial Arts
The School of Freestyle Martial Arts (SOFMA) has been a fixture in Nedlands since 2001, a family-owned dojo serving Perth's western suburbs with more than two decades of experience. Its philosophy is built on character as much as combat, summed up in the idea that discipline, respect and skill are built one class at a time.
The school caters to a broad spread of ages and goals, from Little Dragons for the youngest students through kids' and adults' freestyle martial arts to specialised Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and ladies' self-defence. Beyond regular classes it runs private lessons, corporate training, school programs and even birthday parties, making it as much a community hub as a training space.
Long-standing families describe a strong, supportive culture, with patient and technically capable instructors, many of whom progressed through SOFMA's own training pathway, plus social events that extend well beyond the mats. Prospective students can try a free trial class to get a feel for the dojo. It's a fit for parents seeking structure and confidence for their kids, and for adults wanting self-defence skills within a club that prizes belonging.
