Perth Martial Arts & Self Defence Academy, Combat Defence Systems is founded on the concepts and philosophies of Bruce Lee’s Jeet Kune Do (JKD). While there are some perth martial arts clubs likening their freestyle system of martial arts to Bruce Lee’s Jeet Kune Do, we are both priviledged & proud to be the only accredited Martial Arts Academy in Perth with certified instructors under Guro Dan Inosanto and the Inosanto International Martial Arts Instructors Association.

We are also a proud affiliate school of Progressive Martial Arts Brisbane, under Simo Cookie Vassiliou who has been under Guro Inosanto and the Inosanto Academy of Martial Arts for well over 25 years.

Our goal is to help each student to achieve their objectives or goals, whether it be self-defence, fitness, self-confidence, weight loss, co-ordination, flexibility, or simply for social interaction or interest in culture/tradition in the arts.

Testimonials

This is one of the few academy’s in the world that teach authentic JKD concepts and our instructors are certified by Guru Dan Inosanto. We are privileged to have this opportunity available to us in Western Australia. CDS is free of egos and full of great people. In my opinion, you will not find a better place to train.

Greg Morris

I first tried Combat Defence Systems as something new after two years of repetitive gym workouts. I have found the content of the classes vary often, keeping the training both interesting and challenging. Everyone is helpful and friendly. I feel I am much fitter and more able to defend myself after just a few months. I would recommend Combat Defence Systems to anyone looking for something new to achieve their fitness goals and to learn how to defend themselves.

Rebecca French

I’ve always loved martial arts, growing up on a diet of Bruce Lee films. After turning 40 I decided it was time to start and chose Combat Defence Systems. For a complete beginner, Sifu Gino is patient, totally professional and never makes me feel like I’ve asked a stupid question! I leave every session feeling inspired and looking forward to the next one. The discipline and confidence I’ve gained since I began has been life-changing.
