JMA Martial Arts

How We Stand Out

Our owners, Sam and James, are heavily involved in teaching and running JMA (formally Joondalup Martial Arts), which means they are able to run the business the way they want to.

JMA Martial Arts is customer and results-focused. Too many Martial Arts Studios are only in it for the money. We spend the time looking for ways to value add and give each customer an exceptional experience.

We teach our way. We are serious about the type of role models the JMA team are to our students!

We have a ranking system to inspire the students and nurture their leadership abilities. Participants take their positions seriously, and they are allowed to level up. For each belt level, students must complete more than just their Martial Arts training. This allows them to become a brilliant black belt… they become a great person in all aspects of their lives.

Our Core Values

At JMA Martial Arts, our mission is to make a positive impact on the lives of our students, their families, and the community. We aim to provide a safe space for students to be challenged, grow, and set goals and achieve them. Inspiring students to be leaders in their lives and live a life of purpose. At JMA Martial Arts, our foundation is built upon core values that guide everything we do and every relationship we build.

Respect

We demonstrate respect for every student, regardless of age or background, valuing their opinions and perspectives.

Integrity

We prioritise honesty in all our actions and interactions.

Community

We foster a community built on respect, encouragement, engagement, and inspiration, nurturing meaningful friendships and relationships.

Well Being

We promote the well-being of both mind and body, striving for healthy minds and bodies among our students.

Communication

We prioritise clear and concise communication, always seeking to understand others first.

Leadership

We empower and inspire everyone as a potential leader, encouraging active participation and leadership within the community.

Now with two locations

At JMA Martial Arts our mission is to make a positive impact in the lives of our students, their families and the community. We aim to provide a safe space for students to be challenged, grow, set goals and achieve them. Inspiring students to be leaders in their own lives and to live a life of purpose.

We have two state of the art martial art studios located in Joondalup and Alkimos where new members are always made to feel welcome.

Take my daughter there, James and the team teach such valuable lessons and life skills. They are all always total professionals.

JMA is a beautiful community of families and friends. Our daughter began Little Tigers age 3 and has learnt valuable life skills, enjoys showing her physical skills and collecting tags which represent her achievements at home and in class. Thank you James and all the instructors for your commitment, kindness and patience to the children.

We enrolled our 12 year old in the kick boxing programme, and it's been the best decision we've ever made. James is phenomenal, he seems to have eyes everywhere! Even though it's a group setting, he manages to give each child personalised attention. Our son looks forward to every class, and we're thrilled that he has such an inspiring role model !

Excellent place if you're considering enrolling your child into Martial arts. James, who is the head coach and owner, is AMAZING with the kids. His teaching skills are first class with every single one of his students. Not only can he teach an entire group, he individualises each child and their needs perfectly. Being young himself, James earns the respect of his students and engages with them in a vibrant, fun and inclusive manner. The children quickly learn respect, confidence, integrity and most importantly self defence. We are sad to be moving away from the area and would have stayed if we could have. My daughters confidence has increased tenfold after only a few months with James and his team at JMA.I would recommend JMA Alkimos to anyone and everyone able to give it a go.

Having not come from a martial arts background myself, I was unsure what to expect from enrolling my child into JMA.Three months later, with the first grading completed, I'm happy to say this was a great decision. The team at JMA Alkimos are super-friendly, engaging with the kids, and the benefits are clear.Drills are not just kicking & punching, but listening, respect, discipline & stranger awareness - and this alone makes it worth giving it a go.The facility is small, but the class times and sizes are catered to making it a comfortable experience for all involved.Really happy that we made this decision, and looking forward to continuing with JMA in the future!

We signed our 5 year old and 8 year old up, and they absolutely love it. Mr Duncan has a natural ability to teach kids of all ages, and they really look up to him and listen. Mr Duncan and all the trainers are great and show genuine interest in teaching with impressive patience with the younger ones!! The centre is clean and tidy and well run. I've also attended an adult class, which was good fun. We look forward to seeing where the kids will go and feel we are in the best hands. Would most definitely recommend.
