"My dream is to bring enjoyment and security of mind and body to as many students as possible, through study and walking together along the Martial path. My past 30+ years as a Martial Artist has shown me what works and what doesn’t, and with Gwonli I am free to ensure all those people spat out by the ‘Belt Factory’ organisations can have somewhere where their training is not limited by their personal situation or bank balance. I will help them to ‘get up the right way’"
Testimonials

The curriculum for this martial art is so amazing and teaching so many important things. It helps learn not only self defence but things for life. I have been enjoying these classes immensely and can’t recommend them enough. The instructor is very knowledgeable in this area and can teach you many things. You need to get involved in this program.

Mitchell
Gwonli Student
Pete’s friendly and approachable demeanour, decades of experience across a range of martial arts, and genuine passion for combat sports shines through every lesson. Highly recommend Gwonli for those interested in both traditional and modern mixed martial arts with time spent learning striking as well as grappling techniques. Plus, Pete’s just an all-round great bloke!
Martial arts are codified systems and traditions of combat practices, which are practised for a number of reasons: as self-defence, military and law enforcement applications, mental and spiritual development, and cultural heritage.
