At Factor10 Martial Arts, we are passionate about empowering individuals to reach their full potential. Our organisation was born from a desire to help people break free from the daily grind and achieve a more fulfilling life. We believe that the Martial Arts can provide the tools and skills necessary to overcome life's challenges and excel in all aspects of life.
Our Story
Our journey began in 1989, when our founder, Damien O'Flaherty, started teaching Martial Arts classes in a small storage shed at the TAFE College in Innisfail. From humble beginnings, we have grown to become one of the largest Martial Arts providers in Australia. Along the way, we have acquired a 500 square metre facility at Strathpine, and have expanded to offer classes in various locations across Brisbane.
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide a unique set of personal characteristics and life skills that enhance our members' lives and equip them to succeed in life. We believe that the Martial Arts offer a holistic approach to personal development, fostering physical fitness, mental discipline, and emotional resilience.
