Achievement through excellence of character

nigel-katana-small The Martial Arts Education Centre was founded in 2002 by Dr Nigel Farrier.

Having been teaching within the Mandurah area in a variety of halls since 1996 he decided to take the plunge and rent a unit and the Martial Arts Education Centre was started.

Since then the centre has grown and is now housed in its own purpose built unit in Rouse Road, Mandurah.

The growth has continued and it is now one of Mandurahs largest martial arts studios with excellent amenities and boasts changing rooms and shower facilities.

FREE LESSONS

The Martial Arts Education Centre prides itself on its friendly and safe learning environment. Because of this we are able to offer all new students their first two lessons completely FREE of charge.

This means that you can try out the martial arts, whether it be a Shotokan based karate, Japanese style ju jitsu or Okinawan kobudo, without having any financial outlay.

CLASS TIMES CHANGE IN 2010

In order to accommodate the growth experienced in 2009 and to continue to grow in 2010 the class times are going to change slightly. Mondays and Wednesdays will be karate only and Tuesdays and Thursdays will be Kobudo and Ju Jitsu. Juniors will find they have an extra Kobudo class each week and the Ju Jitsu junior white belts will have their own class.
