About RKD: Elevating Self-Defense & Well-Being 

RKD Martial Arts stands at the forefront of self-defence excellence, blending the practicality of Krav Maga with a diverse array of martial arts disciplines. We prioritise not only physical health but also mental well-being, fostering a comprehensive approach to personal empowerment.


Our dedicated facility, nestled in the heart of Bassendean, Perth, serves as the hub for mastering self-defence. At RKD, we recognise the unique needs of individuals, especially women, and offer specialised courses tailored to women's self-defence. Our Women's Self-Defense Courses are designed to instil confidence and practical skills vital for personal safety.

The RKD Self-Defense Syllabus: A Fusion of Mastery 

Drawing from the renowned Krav Maga Worldwide syllabus, our training emphasises effective, real-world self-defence techniques. We complement Krav Maga's strengths by incorporating diverse disciplines like Japanese Jujitsu, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai Kickboxing, Karate, Taekwondo, Ninjutsu, Kung Fu, and Eskrima (Kali/Arnis). This fusion enriches our syllabus, enhancing grappling, ground-based skills, and weapon defence strategies.
