Every person who walks through our door comes with a different reason. Some are looking to get fit. Some want to learn real self defence. Some are chasing competition. Some just want something that challenges them in a way nothing else has. Whatever brought you here, you are in the right place.
The right place, whatever your level
Whether you have never trained before or you have spent years on the mats, you will find what you are looking for at Spear Dojo.
Beginners find structure, patience, and a community that remembers what it felt like to start from nothing. Experienced martial artists find depth, technical precision, and people who have competed, coached, and trained at the highest levels nationally and internationally. Every session is structured so you are always working at the right level and always moving forward.
Spear Dojo has been running adult martial arts classes in Perth’s northern suburbs since 1987. Our Wangara facility is equipped with a full-size ring, matted grappling area, and heavy bag stations, with sessions running Monday to Saturday.
Who you will train with
The instructors at Spear Dojo grew up here, earned their place on the mats, and chose to stay.
Their backgrounds span Sports Science, Education, firefighting, close quarter combat, security, and elite competition. They hold Combat Sports Commission registration and long service within Bob Jones Martial Arts, the founding organisation of Zen Do Kai in Australia. They have trained in Thailand, Japan, Serbia, and beyond. They have refereed and judged at state, national, and international level. Between them they have trained with world champions, masters, and leading practitioners across multiple disciplines and continents.
Every instructor focuses on individual student development. In a class of beginners and experienced practitioners, that means paying attention to where each person is, not just where the class is going. Personalised feedback, adjusted technique, and genuine investment in your progress are part of every session.
Walk onto the mats on any given night and you will train alongside people who have been here for ten, fifteen, twenty years. Competitors. Former fighters. People who started as white belts and never left. Experienced members help newcomers find their feet. That is just how it works here.
