Kendo

Martial arts is an umbrella term incorporating many different disciplines such karate, kendo, judo, kickboxing, tai chi, ju jitsu, etc.

Martial arts is often more than just learning self defence or fighting techniques, it also incorporates ways of living traced back to ancient times in Japan, Korea, China, or other countries where the discipline may have originated.

A class promoted as general 'martial arts' may include a mixture of disciplines.

To teach at a PCYC in NSW martial arts instructors must have as a minimum level of qualifications a current National Coaching Accreditation Scheme (NCAS) Level 1 Martial Arts.

The NCAS is administered by the Australian Sports Commission, and the Level 1 Martial Arts course is delivered in NSW by the Martial Arts Industry Association (MAIA).
