This is no ordinary combat class.
We don’t do dark spaces and stark lighting. We don’t push members past their limits and shout to make ourselves heard. We provide a light, welcoming space that puts you at ease and in control. We respect boundaries and choices. We listen and learn.
What is conscious combat?
Conscious Combat is not fighting. It combines consciousness with the physicality of martial arts to allow us to move from a state of self-defence to offense. By allowing ourselves to explore our vulnerabilities and process our trauma, we are able to discover our body’s full strength and capability. By teaching combat in a conscious way, guided by trauma-informed principles, we aim to help people expand their window of tolerance.

The Conscious Combat Club started as virtual classes in November 2020. Australia had just experienced one of the worst bushfire seasons in its history and the world was still in the throes of the pandemic. Trauma was all around us and it was disproportionately affecting women. In response, we created the Conscious Combat Club to offer a safe space for women living with trauma to reclaim their body, confidence and strength through trauma-informed martial arts.
