DESCRIPTION
For kids and teens, we offer Ninja Kids programs and fitness classes. This is more than just learning how to punch and kick! Classes have specialised curricula catering for 5-8, 8-12 and 12-17 year olds, including a girls-only teen self defence class.
These age-appropriate programs address situations that young people may encounter. These range from having self-control to keep hands and feet to themselves, to dealing with mean kids the smart way, to understanding stranger danger, to safely navigating social and dating situations with boundary-setting and verbal skills.
Programs build confidence, aid in resisting peer pressure and encourage a positive mental attitude. There is improved coordination, physical fitness, concentration and self-control. Parents of current students remark on the healthy blend of discipline, respect and fun in classes. Please visit PersonalStrength.com.au/ClassesForKids for more details.
For busy mums, there are one-off, 2-hour Self Defence Workshops. These are run every couple of months. Unlike regular martial arts classes that focus solely on physical techniques, we cover the full spectrum of self-defence skills. We work on specific scenarios, learn and practice conflict avoidance strategies, psychological preparation – including dealing with fear and stress – as well as verbal de-escalation skills, effective physical techniques, and more.
About 20 of these small group sessions have been run in the last 4 years, and all participants reported that they felt more confident and more competent in their ability to defend themselves after the Workshop.
For adults who are interested in ongoing self-defence training, you can do that too!

My daughter has been attending Tim’s classes for years and not only thoroughly enjoys participating, she’s met some great people, feels supported and is part of a wonderful team. I love seeing how proud she is when she talks about her experience and achievement with Personal Strength with pride. It’s really helped strengthen her confidence.
My teen daughter who is slowly pulling away from her other activities loves Tim’s classes soo much and chases me to get her there every week. She does the non-contact boxing fitness and self defense classes and loves both.
I always really look forward to my boxing class each week. Tim and his team always manage to make it a safe and fun environment to work out in. Highly recommend.
I love that Personal Strength is a small business – you can see Tim’s passion for self-defence & martial arts with positive life outcomes that he inspires in the kids. Both my kids have enjoyed Ninja classes!
My kids have been attending ninja kids classes since early primary school age and they love it. I’ve seen them learn self discipline and respect, on top of getting physically stronger and developing self defense skills. They’ve also formed some wonderful friendships. The instructors are wonderful, gentle but firm, really excellent role models.
For a full time working mum juggling lots of commitments and other extra curricular activities, the understanding and flexibility offered by Sensei Tim is a breath of fresh air. Make up classes for missed classes (last min illnesses, or other commitments) are sorted with no fuss, and there are classes run throughout the week so plenty of options. Dealing with Tim is just fuss free and makes the daily juggle that much easier. Highly recommend these classes.
My daughter has been doing the teen kick boxing class for many years now and enjoys the challenge of each session as well as the chance to train in a safe and inviting space.
