How to Fight: Master Real-World Self-Defence with Arakan Martial Art

 

If you're in your 20s and serious about learning how to fight, you're probably weighing your options. Boxing, MMA, traditional martial arts—all of these can teach you valuable skills. But when it comes to real-world self-defence, where there are no rules and anything can happen, you need something more practical, something designed for the street rather than the ring.

That’s where Arakan Martial Art comes in.

Why Choose Arakan Martial Art Over Other Fighting Styles?

 

Arakan Martial Art is not just another martial art. It’s a street-smart, real-world fighting system designed to help you defend yourself in any situation—whether you're out with friends, traveling in a new city, or simply enjoying a night out at a party. Unlike many martial arts that focus on sport and competition, Arakan is all about survival and effectiveness in real-life confrontations.

Real-World Focus

Many fighting styles are practiced in controlled environments with rules and limitations. While these styles, like boxing or MMA, are great for physical fitness and discipline, they often fall short in real-world situations where there are no referees, no rounds, and no guarantees. Arakan Martial Art, on the other hand, is designed specifically for real-world self-defence. It equips you with the skills to protect yourself and your loved ones in unpredictable, high-stress situations.

 

Practical Techniques for Unpredictable Scenarios

In the street, anything can happen. You might face multiple attackers, or you could be ambushed when you least expect it. Arakan Martial Art teaches you how to deal with these kinds of scenarios effectively. The techniques are simple, direct, and devastatingly effective, focusing on disabling your opponent quickly and efficiently. Whether it’s learning how to use everyday objects as weapons or mastering the art of reading and reacting to threats, Arakan prepares you for the worst.

 

Training That Builds Physical and Mental Resilience

Fighting isn’t just about strength; it’s also about mental toughness. Arakan Martial Art training is intense and demanding, designed to prepare you for the adrenaline and chaos of a real confrontation. You’ll build physical strength, speed, and agility while also developing the mental resilience to stay calm and focused under pressure. This combination of physical and mental training ensures that you're ready for whatever comes your way, whether it’s a heated altercation or a dangerous situation you never saw coming.

Common Scenarios Where Arakan Martial Art Can Protect You

 

Young adults in their 20s often find themselves in social situations where the unexpected can happen. Here are some common scenarios where Arakan Martial Art could make the difference between being a victim and walking away safely:

Going Out with Friends

Whether you’re at a bar, club, or party, social situations can sometimes escalate into physical confrontations. With Arakan, you’ll learn how to de-escalate situations when possible and defend yourself effectively when it’s not. The confidence that comes with knowing you can handle yourself in a fight is invaluable, especially in social environments where alcohol and tempers can lead to unexpected violence.

 

Traveling in Unfamiliar Places

Traveling can be an incredible experience, but it also comes with risks, especially when you're in unfamiliar territory. Arakan Martial Art gives you the tools to protect yourself no matter where you are. Whether you’re navigating a foreign city or exploring off-the-beaten-path destinations, you’ll have the confidence to handle any situation that arises.

 

Handling Aggressive Situations at Parties

Parties are supposed to be fun, but they can also become volatile environments where tempers flare and things can get out of hand quickly. Arakan Martial Art teaches you how to stay aware of your surroundings, avoid confrontations, and if necessary, defend yourself with techniques that are designed to be quick and effective.

 

Dealing with Road Rage

Road rage is an increasingly common occurrence, and it can quickly escalate into a dangerous confrontation. Arakan Martial Art equips you with the awareness and techniques needed to protect yourself if a situation on the road turns hostile. Whether it’s an aggressive driver trying to confront you or an incident that escalates at a stoplight, you’ll be prepared to defend yourself and stay safe.

I originally started training Arakan Martial Art out of curiosity back in June 2010. I was new to the Gold Coast, had always wanted to try a martial art and saw the sign for the office just around the corner from where I was living. 
Previously I had spent years at various gyms and had sought costly personal trainers which kept me reasonably fit but i decided I may be better spending the money to learn how to defend myself should the situation ever arise.
What I discovered from Arakan Martial Art was so much more. Of course it provides all the fitness and conditioning one would expect from a martial art however it is the "fight logic" that really differentiates the art. You are taught to assess your environment and use it to your advantage. This includes not only aspects such as where to position yourself in a certain situation but also how to deal with obstacles a situation may possess. There are a multitude of different locations where the art is trained that cater for everybody e.g.. nightclubs, home invasion, In your car, dark alleys, wide open areas, parks, beach etc.
Another important aspect to the art is the culture within the club. Ego is left at the gate. All of the instructors are very humble which stems from the top and is evident throughout the club. As everyone's journey is their own, you are only asked to do what you are capable of and you are only challenging yourself.
On a personal note I have found Arakan Martial Art gives me a release from the day to day pressures of work, which in turn has allowed me to become a calmer person and think more rationally. 
It never matters how bad my day has been walking into a lesson, I always walk out exhausted, full of knowledge, relaxed and with a smile on my face.
