At Van Roon Martial Arts all of our classes centre around a marriage of the timeless values of the traditional martial arts and the practicality of modern self defense and combat sports.

  • Our students can expect to explore the history, wisdom and culture of the martial arts as a pathway for self development AND do so in a way that translates to developing practical real world martial arts skills.

  • In summary: our classes feature the values and respect found in the traditional martial arts without compromising the effectiveness.
