Led by Sensei Sam Weir, Maitland Martial Arts Academy offers traditional Japanese martial arts and weapons training for students of all ages and fitness levels.
‍
As a small boutique academy, we pride ourselves on providing high-quality instruction in a supportive, welcoming environment. We are more than just a martial arts centre — we are a community grounded in family, tradition, and personal growth.
‍
While we strive for excellence in our training, our true focus is on wellbeing, mindset, and the meaningful connections formed on and off the mat.
‍
Our goal is to make a positive impact in the lives of our members by offering a safe space where caring people can train together, support one another, and grow through life’s journey. What sets us apart is our commitment to individual attention.

By keeping class sizes small, we are able to focus on each student both individually and collectively, ensuring personalised guidance and genuine progress. This approach reflects traditional Japanese values, where those who trained together also worked together and helped raise a strong, unified community.

At Maitland Martial Arts Academy, it’s not about fighting or belt rank — it’s about building confidence, resilience, and character. Throughout the journey we share, we continuously learn, evolve, and strive to reach heights we never thought possible, celebrating each achievement together.

The MMAA family is here to encourage, support, and uplift you every step of the way.
