I have been training with Wilkes since 2012, I turn 41 this year and I dont remember feeling as fit, sharp, confident and balanced in a long time. The atmosphere/vibe created within the gym is a sanctuary from pressures of the outside world, the instructors are dedicated and passionate about their art and the progression of all students be it the 3yr olds through to the "older" people like myself. Egos are left at the door and everyone is in there to assist and bring the best out in everyone else regardless of experience and rank. Anyone thinking of signing their child or children up, I could not recommend Wilkes more highly, the quality and substance in the kids classes are not just self-defence and fitness but crucial life skills including respect, courtesy, integrity and dedication. All in all a fantastic environment to train in, a fantastic group of people, quite possible one of the best decisions I have made was walking through the door and getting started.

I joined Wilkes Academy in 2013 after realising that 25 years of trying every fad diet available had left me a middle aged very overweight man susceptible to diabetes and a shortened life expectancy. My wife and daughter had already joined and I had been along to watch a few times, never even daring to think I could do what they were doing. I was asked a few times by Mr Mitchell if I'd like to join in, but I managed to find an excuse every time. Eventually I plucked up the courage to have a crack at it, fully expecting to feel humiliated. What I discovered was a family of instructors and students who are absolutely dedicated to helping people set a goal and realise it, to get fit and have a laugh at the same time, and to learn a skill that both gives you focus away from life's worries and in the unfortunate event that you need to rely on it, would give you a good chance of defending and protecting yourself in a controlled way. Eighteen months later, I am 16kg lighter, fitter, happier, healthier and the proud wearer of a blue belt. I had no confidence that I would last a month when I signed up, but now I can't imagine not having this aim, and these friends, in my life. My ten year old daughter has her education and attitude assessed prior to every grading and this has proved to be very effective in making her want to 'do the right thing' as well as giving her the ability to defend herself also. We pay a very reasonable weekly membership fee and can attend as many classes as we wish. This is not only martial arts classes, but also general fitness classes. Wilkes Academy has changed lots of things about me, but most importantly it has given me a life that I previously thought was out of my reach. Needless to say, I would recommend them to not only the serious athletes, of which there are many in the Academy, but also to the people like me that need the guidance to change their lifestyle and lose weight and get fit.

I have always found the training at this centre to be of a really high standard and I get a great workout. The instructors and assisting black belts are dynamic, helpful and inspire me to improve by giving me useful tips on how to better my technique. As a lady member it is great to have a good balance of female and male instructors with such a wealth of experience behind them.

Determination, persistence, resilience. These classes have allowed me to set personal goals and work in a supportive environment where instructors and students encourage and help one another. Whilst you are always presented with instruction on how to improve your current skills, no one class is the same, you are kept on your toes and can't claim to be bored!

Great for all the family. Traditional teachings focusing on technique, form and physical fitness whilst instilling the benefits of discipline, personal safety and a good attitude. With a little fun thrown in.

We have been attending this training session the last 9yrs for fitness, and to gain useful defence skills. Instructors focus on teaching techniques that are neat and effective. Highly recommended for all ages to join us, and surprise yourself with new abilities!

Taekwondo classes for 6 year olds, upwards. Participation promotes benefits, e.g. health, focus, confidence, respect for others and discipline. My primary school son has been attending for a few years now. Seems to have helped him. Worth checking out their initial obligation free class.

A very progressive martial arts school and training centre in Perth, that teaches traditional and effective tae kwon do. The Instructors are very caring and understanding and always provide teaching and training that is fun, dynamic and a challenge. They are also all very skilled in their own way and provide a very diverse range of skills, not just fighting ability. This is a very family friendly place where kids, teens and adults are welcome. The self defence skills that is taught is realistic and practical and the combat techniques are very sharp and dynamic. I highly recommend Kin Tae Kwon Do to all that want to train hard, improve their fitness and strength or discipline and confidence and just have better health and wellbeing.

Kin Taekwondo is the perfect school for all ages and abilities. There is an equal focus on skill and fitness, and excellent balance between self-defence and the traditional martial art. The Instructors take the time to get to know each student and work with them one-on-one when needed, and everyone is pushed to the best of their ability. I'm 20 and have been heavily involved in sport all my life, but I have never been physically or mentally healthier than I am since starting at Kin.

My 3 kids (8, 10, 12) have been learning from Ricky, Paul & Jesse (brothers and all black belts) for several years and love it. Exercise, discipline, heirarchy and skills. Highly recommend.

I started Kin Tae Kwon Do with no experience in martial art. I have always been active, however I significantly noticed a change in my physical and mental stamina when I joined. The community, instructors and students respect, include and learn from each other, which is something that is hard to find. As a young adult, I would highly recommend this activity for any and all ages. Whether you want to increase your physical fitness, mental discipline or want to try something new, I strongly suggest Kin Tae Kwon Do.
