Challenge Martial Arts & Fitness Oakleigh

Challenge Martial Arts has been a wonderful place for my son to learn karate. He has been attending for the past year and absolutely loves going there. Over this time, he has learnt a lot about self-defence, while also improving his focus, balance, discipline, and confidence. What has been especially pleasing is that his cricket coaches have also commented on how much his balance and focus have improved, and they have encouraged him to continue karate because of the positive impact it is having on his overall sporting performance. For any parents considering Challenge Martial Arts, I would highly recommend it. The teachings here go beyond karate and can support children in other activities and sports as well. We are so glad we found Challenge Martial Arts.

My daughter started attending Challenge Martial Arts about a month ago. The centre is incredibly safe, very family-friendly, and the staff are always helpful. I was amazed to see kids comfortably doing their homework in the café, just like they would at home. It’s truly a family-centric place. I want to give a big thank you to Sensei Kathryn. She is amazing! I loved her energy from our very first private lesson. She is a real and wonderful teacher. My daughter comes home from the centre focused and happy every time.

My husband introduced me to the Challenge Centre before we were married, and we enjoyed many years of mental and physical growth during our training with the amazing Karate instructors, and also loved the great community feel of the whole centre and its students. We stopped karate once we had our first child, and when our kids wanted to train we couldn't imaging taking them anywhere else so we now have the joy of watching our son and daughter benefit from the dedicated and kind teachers and all the physical and mental benefits of learning karate in such a supportive and family friendly environment. We travel 30-40 minutes to go to classes but just couldn't consider going anywhere other than the Challenge Centre. We're so appreciative of all the hard work the team put into the centre and all their students.

My family has been attending classes for many years at challenge fitness centre. Family friendly gym. Staff are all nice. You always feel welcomed. Gym instructors are helpful, friendly, and professional. People started here young until they become adults. Highly recommended 👌

We really enjoy our time at Challenge Martial Arts. Our daughter is thriving and picking up valuable lessons that will serve her well in becoming a well rounded teen and adult. We value the time and effort the coaches put in with the children, they know every child by name and we feel very welcome as a family.
