About Senshi Academy
Senshi Academy is a martial arts school in Thomastown known for its safe, clean and spacious training floor and a genuinely family-friendly atmosphere. Members describe patient, knowledgeable coaches and a tight community where adults and children train together, learn properly, and keep coming back year after year.
The academy covers grappling and striking disciplines, with mats and boxing bags supporting work across styles such as judo, jiu-jitsu and boxing, alongside dedicated kids' classes. Training caters to a range of goals, whether you want to build a striking foundation, complement an existing BJJ practice, or give your children a structured, disciplined activity.
