Instructor Story - Scott Morisset
Starting to write this article I asked myself do I include all the interesting events, ups and down I’ve endured along my Arakan journey hmmm….. yes. Just like training there will always be peaks and troughs and times where lessons are harder than others and times where the planets align and everything seems to fall into place. Whether its physical, mental or emotional Arakan has always taught me and given me the strength to battle through any situation. On the flip side of this Arakan is the place where I have had the best times of my life and met my best friends, amazing training partners and my partner and mother of my child. On top of this I’ve had such an incredible, patient and understanding mentor and instructor Rob Kyaw to guide me along the way.

My Arakan Martial Art Journey
Writing this, feels like a lot of Arakan lessons I teach. I always think to myself, "I have an hour to share as much as possible in an art that could easily go for a few lifetimes, yet I don't want to dilute anything". I guess that is one of the reasons why we are taught to always have urgency with what we do; there is so much to learn, so don't stuff around and make the most of the time that you have....

Instructor Profile - Richard Burkett
I remember meeting Richie when he was approximately fifteen years old, I was teaching at Southport High School, when Richie and his group of friends enquired about what is was that I was teaching. After a brief conversation, the boys convinced me to start teaching them on a weekly basis. I will always remember these classes very fondly, a group of boys just training hard without too many conscious desired goals. Richie was always very athletic and coordinated and would love to learn everything he could about fighting; a passion will still share approximately twenty years later.

Instructor Profile - Aida de Demko
I love sharing Arakan with ladies. Seeing how much a student develops and grows, seeing them become more confident and empowered through Arakan. That has to be one of the greatest gifts as an instructor.

More Than Movement: Arakan Martial Art as a Full-Body Biohack

When people think of martial arts, they often picture sparring, sweat, and self-defense. But to the biohacking mind, there’s a deeper lens: movement is medicine. Training is stimulation. Challenge equals growth.
Arakan Martial Art delivers all of that – and more.
For those seeking optimized performance, neurochemical balance, and full-body resilience, Arakan isn’t just a martial art. It’s a complete biohacking system disguised as high-intensity, real-world training.

Arakan Martial Art vs Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu: Depth, Philosophy, and Real-World Application

In today’s world of martial arts, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is often the go-to style when people think of grappling, submissions, and competition. With its technical ground game and focus on leverage and control, BJJ has earned global respect. But when we compare BJJ to Arakan Martial Art - a system not only designed for real-world self-defense but rooted in the ancient Burmese art of Rakhine Thaing - the differences run deep.
