We run ten classes a week across five days at our Ashburton dojo, and every session is led personally by a senior instructor, not a rotating roster of assistants. Three of them are dedicated adult beginners classes, so a complete beginner can start on any week without feeling lost.

Weekly timetable

Private lessons, seminars and grading dates are scheduled separately, and times can shift around gradings, so confirm the current schedule before your first visit. All classes run at 374a Warrigal Road, Ashburton, Victoria 3147. Free on-street parking is available on Warrigal Road and the surrounding streets.

What each class covers

Adult Kali Beginners: Monday 6:00pm, Wednesday 6:00pm and Thursday 7:00pm. These sessions start from the ground up: stance, distance, angles, and the core striking patterns of Kombatan Arnis. You will handle a rattan stick from your first class, because in Filipino Martial Arts the weapon teaches the hand rather than the other way around. Three beginners sessions a week means you can miss one and still train.

Adult Kali Intermediate and Advanced: Monday 7:00pm, Wednesday 7:00pm and Thursday 6:00pm. Weapons work, knife defence and empty-hand combatives, with partner drills at a pace that builds real pressure-testing. You move up when an instructor judges you ready, not when a calendar says so.

Multi-Dimensional Warriors: Saturday 10:00am. Our pressure-testing session, where the material is run against a partner who is not helping you.

Adults Open Kali: Saturday 11:00am. The weekend session, all levels, and usually the most social. A good option if weeknights do not suit your schedule.

Kids Kali: Tuesday 5:00pm and Saturday 9:00am, for children aged 6 to 14.

What it costs

Your first two weeks are completely free. That is not a trial lesson. It is two full weeks of unlimited classes so you can make a properly informed decision rather than judging a martial art on forty-five minutes.

After the trial, training runs on a monthly subscription. No joining fee, no lock-in contract. We do not charge casual or drop-in fees, because turning up occasionally does not build skill and we would rather not pretend it does.

Memberships

Limited caps at six classes a month, which is about one a week. With eight adult sessions a week on the timetable, anyone training more than that wants Unlimited, and most people move across once they settle in.

Gradings, private tuition and equipment

Gradings are sat when an instructor judges you ready rather than on a fixed calendar, so they are not a recurring cost you have to plan around. All the equipment you need can be bought here at the club, which means nothing to source online or track down before you start.

We do not use lock-in contracts. If your circumstances change, you tell us and you stop. We would rather you came back in six months than felt trapped now.
