NZKM Fitness & Self Defense Studio

Two workshops. One Saturday. Practical skills that matter.

This Saturday, 22 August, NZKM is running two dedicated self-defence workshops for women and teens.

Rather than a regular class, these sessions give participants focused time to work through practical situations, build confidence and learn skills in realistic, supportive training.

For women 16+
10am to 12pm
$30 per person
$20 for existing members

For teens
12:30pm to 2pm
$20 per person
$15 for existing members

Group and family discounts are also available.

No previous self-defence or martial arts experience is needed. The workshops are designed to be practical, approachable and suitable for people who want to feel more prepared and confident.

Bookings are essential and the workshops are happening this weekend.

For more information or to book your place, contact Oz on 027 414 0509.

A couple of spaces have opened up in our Kids and Tweens self-defence classes!

As some of our students have graduated up into our now-full Teens class, we’ve had a limited number of spaces become available in our Kids and Tweens groups.

Our classes are a great way for young people to learn practical self-defence skills while building confidence, discipline, awareness and resilience in a safe and supportive environment.

No previous martial arts experience is needed. Beginners are always welcome, and our instructors work closely with each student to help them learn at their own pace.

Kids, ages 5–8
Wednesday at 5:30pm

Tweens, ages 9–13
Wednesday at 6:00pm

We offer a free trial class so your child can come along, meet the instructors and see what the class is like before signing up.

Message us with your child’s age to book their free trial.

Thinking about trying an adult self-defence class but not sure what to expect?

Your first class at NZKM is designed to be welcoming, practical and beginner-friendly.

You’ll be training alongside a supportive group of people with different levels of experience. Some may have been training for a while, while others are starting from scratch just like you.

Our coaches are knowledgeable, approachable and genuinely enjoy helping beginners learn at their own pace.

The focus is on practical self-defence for real-world situations. This isn’t about learning a sport or preparing for competition. You’ll work on useful skills, awareness and how to respond more effectively in different situations, while building confidence as you train.

No previous martial arts or fitness experience is needed. There’s no expectation that you arrive fit, experienced or already knowing what to do. That’s what the class is for.

Your first class is free, so you can come in, meet the group and see what the training is like for yourself.

Does this coming Thursday, 20th August, suit you to come in for a free trial? Send us a message and we’ll get you booked in.
