Student Testimonials

I have been training in the art for just over four years now. I am so passionate about the art, it gives you practical skills based on real life situations. It is challenging, some times confronting but it enhances your awareness, coordination and it increases your confidence. If anyone was looking to try a Martial Arts, this would be the go-to, its unlike anything else.

It's fair to say that Arakan found me... A sliding doors moment.
I've been training with Brandon for three years and during this time he has guided me along my own personal journey. I've become a better version of myself and a welcome member of the Arakan family. As an Instructor Brandon is  professional, focused and 100 percent committed to helping his students achieve and succeed. My work takes me overseas often. I've learnt and continue to learn practical, real life self defence and situational awareness. Brandon has also taught me how to diffuse the potentially life threatening situations I've found myself in while travelling before they got out of hand.

I have been training for 3 years now, and recently commenced training with Branden and feel he has already added significantly to my Arakan journey. His highly technical, real world learning approach combined with his ability to communicate concepts and ideas that he brings to our lessons have made each lesson enjoyable, practical and wanting more. I highly recommend Branden as an instructor.

Martial Arts as a Lifelong Journey

Most people see martial arts as something you “do.” You join a class, you train for a few months, maybe a few years, and eventually, life gets in the way. For many, it becomes just another phase - like going to the gym for a while, picking up a sport, or trying out a hobby.

But true martial arts isn’t a phase. It’s not something you pick up and drop. It’s a path. A lifelong journey of growth, discipline, and discovery. And once you step onto that path, you realize there is no finish line.

Becoming the Strongest Version of Yourself

Every man wants to be strong. But strength isn’t just about how much weight you can lift or how big your arms are. Real strength goes far deeper. It’s physical, mental, emotional, and even spiritual. It’s the ability to handle whatever life throws at you - with power, resilience, and clarity.
In your 20s, you’re at a crossroads. You’re setting the foundations for the man you’ll become. You can drift through these years, chasing comfort and distractions, or you can use them to build yourself into the strongest version of who you are meant to be.
