Braiden embarked on his Arakan journey in 2020, and from the very first lesson, he was captivated by the practice. Fuelled by this newfound passion, Braiden wholeheartedly embraced the demanding training regimen that Arakan requires for success. What initially started as a weekly commitment swiftly evolved into a lifestyle, with Braiden dedicating himself to multiple training sessions each week. Arakan transcended being merely a fitness routine; it became a wellspring of empowerment, instilling in Braiden resilience and discipline that resonated throughout various aspects of his life. Beyond its physical benefits, Arakan became a catalyst for enhancing his mental well-being. Through this martial art, Braiden not only discovered a mode of physical expression but also a transformative path towards self-discovery and personal growth. When Braiden is not in teaching mode, you'll find him engrossed in training sessions, navigating the golf course, or cherishing moments with friends and family.

Student Testimonials

Braiden's lessons are the perfect balance between challenging and encouraging. With each session, I felt myself growing stronger both physically and mentally. With Braiden I have gotten particularly better at situational awareness and core strength, and his feedback is always constructive. Braiden's enthusiasm for Arakan is contagious, and I am grateful for all the confidence I've gained at his lessons. Training with him is an absolute blast and I look forward to more!

Shanelle Kennedy

I have been training with Braiden for a couple of months as a secondary lesson. In that time his patience and dedication towards my lessons have allowed me to further progress in my Arakan journey. My son has also found his love for Arakan again, training with me under Braiden. Braiden's lessons have been a safe space for my son to gain his confidence and help him keep fit and healthy.

All of these can be good in their own way. But if you’re not just chasing short-term gains, if you’re looking for something deeper - a lifestyle, an identity, and a path of growth - then Arakan Martial Art leaves them all behind.

Travel, Adventure, and the Martial Arts Lifestyle

Your 20s are the perfect time for adventure. You’ve got energy, freedom, and a hunger to explore the world. Whether it’s backpacking through Asia, road-tripping with mates, taking off on overseas holidays, or simply saying yes to new experiences, this is the time to create stories you’ll remember for the rest of your life.

But here’s something most people don’t realize: martial arts aren’t just something you train at home in a dojo or gym. When you embrace it as a lifestyle, it goes wherever you go. It becomes part of your identity - a constant companion that makes every trip, every challenge, and every adventure more exciting and meaningful.
