About South coast martial arts centre
South Coast Martial Arts Centre is a Taekwondo and martial arts school serving the Lake Illawarra and Warilla community, with a strong focus on developing young students and adults alike. Led by Grand Master Instructor Kevin Docherty, a 7th Dan black belt with more than 35 years of experience, the centre is known for its professional, experienced and genuinely caring instructors. Parents consistently praise how the school goes above and beyond to bring out the best in their children, teaching not only the physical skills of Taekwondo but also discipline, confidence and respect, qualities families say carry well beyond the dojang. The training environment is safe, structured and welcoming, with dedicated programs grouped by age so students progress alongside peers at a similar stage.
Many families return year after year, with children described as growing in confidence and self-discipline through regular classes. Beyond the youth programs, the centre also offers training for teens and adults as well as ladies fitness kickboxing, broadening its appeal across the community. For Lake Illawarra families seeking a reputable, values-driven martial arts school where children thrive and adults can build fitness and skill, South Coast Martial Arts Centre is a long-standing local choice.
