Mettle Martial Arts is an esteemed martial arts and self-defence academy situated in Unley, South Australia. Our academy stands as an independent institution, dedicated to teaching a diverse range of combative disciplines, including Jeet Kune Do, Kali, Arnis, Eskrima, Silat, Muay Thai, and various Submission Grappling arts. We welcome students of all genders, fitness levels, and abilities, with no prior experience necessary. Our curriculum is designed to integrate the Filipino Martial Arts, Muay Thai, and a wide array of trapping, locking, and grappling arts, to offer a world-class self-defence education for men, women, and children.
Jeet Kune Do
Jeet Kune Do (JKD) is the brainchild of the legendary Bruce Lee, encapsulating a set of fighting concepts and principles. The guiding philosophy of JKD is "Using no way as way; having no limitation as limitation." As a counter-offensive system, JKD amalgamates techniques from a myriad of sources, urging students to flow seamlessly across various ranges while emphasising the enhancement of their innate attributes, such as speed, focus, coordination, timing, strength, and agility.
Muay Thai
Muay Thai, also known as Thai Boxing, is a highly effective close-combat system that leverages punches, kicks, elbows, knees, the 'clinch', and occasionally head-butts to triumph over opponents. Widely recognised as 'The Art of Eight Limbs', Muay Thai is a comprehensive combat sport that challenges the mind, body, and spirit. Our Muay Thai classes are secure, enjoyable, and invigorating, providing students with a thorough self-defence education and an exceptional full-body workout.
Filipino Martial Arts
The Filipino Martial Arts are some of the most practical and effective fighting systems in existence, boasting a robust weapons-oriented foundation and a proficient empty-hand system. Often referred to as Kali, Eskrima, or Arnis, Mettle Martial Arts Academy teaches a blend of Filipino styles and concepts, recognised globally as the Inosanto-blend. At Mettle Martial Arts, we instruct students in Single and Double Stick, Sword, Knife, Staff, and unarmed combat techniques. Contrary to many traditional martial arts, Kali practitioners (or Eskrimadors) are taught stick combat techniques before delving into unarmed combat. The rationale behind this approach lies in the fact that the end of the stick travels much quicker than the human hand, enabling students to develop faster reflexes, hand-eye coordination, speed, and dexterity.
