Our Story
ATI Martial Arts has its roots deeply planted in Perth’s vibrant community. Founded over 35 years ago by the dedicated partnership of Mr. Tony Curtis and Mr. Rodney Lockyer (both 8th Dan Black Belts and still actively teaching), our journey began with humble classes held in local community halls and school gyms. What started as a local initiative has flourished into one of Australia's premier martial arts institutions, boasting four full-time gyms and sixteen satellite clubs.
Mr. Curtis and Mr. Lockyer envisioned a place where traditional martial arts principles meet modern training methodologies. Their unwavering commitment to this vision has been instrumental in ATI’s growth and our continued success in producing state, national, and international champions.
We offer a rich variety of programs designed to cater to all demographics including Taekwondo, Kickboxing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Little Dragons, and Olympic Style Taekwondo.
Our approach is family-centric and inclusive. We believe in providing quality martial arts education to everyone—kids, adults, women through exclusive classes, and families seeking a collective fitness goal. Here at ATI Martial Arts, everyone can find their place.
Throughout our history, we’ve celebrated numerous victories at various levels of competition (State, National, and International). These achievements reflect our dedication to nurturing talent through persistent training and expert guidance from experienced instructors.
We aim to instill more than just physical skills. Our martial arts programs emphasize crucial life values such as discipline, respect, confidence, and perseverance which are integral parts of our teaching philosophy.
At ATI Martial Arts, we aren't just about creating athletes; we build strong individuals who excel both inside and outside the dojo. We're not just an institution; we're a community where lifelong friendships are forged and personal goals are achieved.
We'd love to have you on board!
