If you are looking at martial arts for your children, this is the place to go. We had a disappointing experience with a previous place and decided on a fresh start with Southside. Sensei Ash has been brilliant from day one. Our twin daughters have cerebral palsy and Ash has been understanding and fully supportive of their disability while also teaching respect, work ethic and discipline at the same time. He has a wonderful balance of fun and focus on the craft and our daughters cannot be happier. The overall culture and environment is first class. Highly recommend A+++

Amazing dojo! Ash creates a such an enjoyable, easy to learn atmosphere that allows the kids to thrive! The lessons are fun and creative and always changing to keep the kids engaged. A great way for kids to exercise, understand discipline and learn lifelong skills. Would definitely recommend joining!

Ash is incredibly welcoming and knowledgable. His dojo has provided a safe place for our young child to develop fitness, skills, confidence and discipline. Ash caters for all levels, experience and ability. I would highly recommend south side martial arts academy.

My daughter has been attending this Martial Arts class for nearly a year now and absolutely LOVES it. Sensei Ash is patient and makes the class fun at the same time as teaching all the skills required for each level. Highly recommend!!

We absolutely love this dojo! Sensei Ash delivers and teaches the fundamentals and art of karate that is Inclusive / open / friendly and most of all fun. My son loves it! He loves learning the skills and drills and can’t wait for each lesson. I can’t wait to see him grow and prosper in this dojo.

Over the last year we have tried several places throughout the Logan area and I can very confidently say that this dojo is the best and the main reason is Sensei Ashley... Other places we have been too have been very aggressive and teach to be on the offence very similar to fight club mentality whereas Sensei Ashley teaches discipline, focus and self defence... Sensei Ashley has created a very supportive and caring environment, in beginners session the whole class encourages each other and they all have a lot of fun during the class... Sensei is able to connect to everyone on a personal level, and allows each person to grow through learning and development... My son has been struggling with his asthma and Sensei Ashley is very aware of this and is very supportive in regards to him taking a break if needed... We have only been going to SMAA for 4 weeks now but I can already see a huge difference in my son's attitude towards class and I can see his confidence building in such a short time... My son has already made some amazing friends and I am truly grateful to Sensei Ashley and I can't sing enough praises...

High level of teaching experience with genuine interaction with students and family. Great results at Aust Titles shows how far students have progressed. Great for fitness, self defence, self confidence and a year round sport suitable for all.
