ABOUT
Who we are
At Integrity Martial Arts Academy, we pride ourselves on having an outstanding culture.
At the heart of everything we do is – well – how we do it.
We learn, train, eat, speak, win, lose and do everything we can the right way – with ‘integrity’. Integrity defines who we are. We even named our academy after it.
We dedicate ourselves to quality training with a strategic mindset, and then build our confidence as well as the confidence of those around us by sharing the experience.
We focus on growing together as a group rather than individual achievements. We make sure nobody is alone on their journey.
With dedication,
respect,
confidence,
and honour,
you can achieve anything.
Our Pledge
To exercise dedication and consistency in applying ourselves to training and progressively learning new skills.
To always show respect to each other on and off the mat.
To have a positive attitude to life, ourselves, others, training, skills-based problem solving and to love the experience.
To learn and gain self empowerment through martial arts.
To gain the confidence to enter any environment with a relaxed mind yet an awareness to our surroundings.
To train only in tried and proven styles and techniques that work effectively in real life situations.
To be part of a supportive team of like minded people.
To train with Integrity.
