At RKD Martial Arts in Bassendean, Perth, kids don’t just learn kicks and punches—they build confidence, focus and friendships in a fun, disciplined environment. This isn’t your average dojo; it’s a place where shy kids transform into proud leaders and energetic kids channel their energy into skill and respect. Founded by experienced instructors who specialise in kids’ development, each class blends age-appropriate drills with games that feel more like play than practice. Whether your child dreams of competing or just wants to try something active and new, RKD makes martial arts feel like an adventure. Perfect for school holiday activities in Perth, it’s a standout way to keep kids engaged, fit and having fun all year round. **What to Bring** Comfortable clothes you can move in, a water bottle, and a towel for after class. Bring a small snack for pre- or post-session energy. Avoid shoes inside the training area—bare feet or clean socks are best. **Best Age Range** Classes are tailored for children aged 3 to 16, with toddler-friendly programs designed to develop coordination and listening skills right from the start. **Good to Know** Classes run after school and on weekends. No long-term contracts—pay as you go or opt for a term pass. Arrive 10 minutes early for your first session to meet the instructor and see the space. Free parking is available on-site. **Nearby** Visit the vibrant Bassendean Village for a post-class treat, just 2 minutes away, or enjoy the riverside playground at Tom Bateman Reserve in Bassendean for a stretch and play. **Tips From Other Parents** Book a free trial class before committing—kids often surprise themselves with how much they enjoy it. Come early to watch another class; it helps kids feel excited about joining. Keep a change of clothes in the car—sparring can get messy!
