Best mixed martial arts academy with highly knowledgeable instructors

I’ve known Steve for nearly a decade, and what he’s created at United Kempo Martial Arts Academy is something truly special. His passion, professionalism, and care for every student shine through — no matter your age or level. It’s not just about the technique here; it’s about building confidence, character, and a real sense of community. If you're looking to grow, learn, and be part of something positive, this is the place to do it.

Steve and the team at United Kempo deliver top-notch classes that cater to every skill level — whether you’re brand new or experienced. The sessions are fun, welcoming, and structured in a way that pushes you while still keeping things enjoyable. It’s a great atmosphere, no matter your age or background. Can’t recommend them enough if you’re in the Austral area and looking to get into martial arts.

We’re only a few weeks in, but already my son Jordan is showing big improvements in his basics — and even better, he absolutely loves it. The Senseis are excellent with the kids — patient, encouraging, and really good at what they do. It’s great knowing he’s building fitness, discipline, and confidence all at once. So glad we found this place. Highly recommend it for any parent looking to give their child a solid foundation.
