If you're looking for a fun, relevant martial art for self-defence, wellbeing and fitness, then Eagle Martial Arts will help you set and achieve your goals in a professional, safe and friendly environment.
At Eagle Martial Arts (EMA) we believe that martial arts is more than just punching and kicking. Do students at EMA know how to defend themselves? Absolutely! Any student that trains at EMA learns awareness and defensive skills to cover a large range of situations. Just as importantly, we believe in helping the student reach their full potential in fitness, build confidence and gain a positive outlook.
Eagle Martial Arts was created to address some of the gaps between traditional martial arts and modern self-defence scenarios. Based on, whilst still encompassing all values and techniques of traditional Korean Hapkido, EMA Hapkido has been expanded with aspects from Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Kickboxing, and other self-defence systems to deliver a comprehensive curriculum for the modern world.
Eagle Martial Arts has classes for kids, teens and adults in EMA Hapkido and for teens and adults in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
Eagle Martial Arts is also proudly a member of the Global Hapkido Association (GHA) with operations in over forty countries around the world...Read more

Good guy, he puts 110% into helping you with your Jiu-Jitsu. I go to the BJJ on the Saturday, lot's of mat space, Alex is a great teacher and everyone hangs out after for some rolling/sparing.Tony P2021-05-24Great place to learn marital arts.

StudentI had visited several martial art schools before finally finding Eagle Martial Arts. The first thing I noticed was how friendly everyone was, no one was there to judge my capabilities but rather take time out from their own training and help me with any of my weaknesses. Training under Greg and Scott Walters has been the best decision for me because while they maintain all the traditional aspects of Hapkido there's very much a "real life approach" angle to their training. I have found with a lot of other martial art schools you can go through belts quickly but you never really learn to defend yourself. That's what separates Eagle Martial Arts from other schools. Their instructors are constantly drilling us, helping us and turning us into more confident students in and outside the school. There is a strong community feeling in the club and many of us have become friends outside of the club too.

StudentFor me, training at Eagle Martial Arts at the start was a fun way to keep healthy and to learn how to protect myself, it was a fairly natural progression coming from Taekwondo. Scott was a friend from uni, asked if I was interested in learning another self defence martial art and the rest is history. The club here at Glen Waverley has gone through some changes from back then, however the important value that hasn't change is that community feeling with the instructors and other members, in addition knowing that we are part of the larger Moo Moo Kwan association. There are other members not only in Australia but around the world especially in Korea training the same techniques that we do. To me, training at Eagle Martial Arts has a strong focus on basic self defence and due to its dynamic nature, can be altered to suit the individual. Once you have mastered the basics, it's how you interpret them and utilize them that makes the difference. Training at Eagle Martial Arts has built my confidence, kept my body and health in good check and shaped my inner strength to bring out the best in me.
Michael
StudentI have Eagle Martial Arts and Hapkido to thank for making me the person I am today. Through it, I have learnt not only how to protect myself but also how to better myself. It has no doubt improved my respect, discipline, confidence and also fitness over the 4 years I have been training. My instructors have always been there to support me and provide guidance both in training and outside, they are role models to me and I look up to them not only as martial artists but as the person I strive to become. Training for Hapkido doesn't stop when I'm outside the Dojang because it's found in everything I do and I appreciate this aspect of Hapkido the most.
Anthony
StudentI played competitive basketball since age 16 and at age 55 a knee injury put an end to this much loved past time and I was looking for new challenges that did not require too much stress on the knees. My son, Cameron, had been a student of Hapkido for some 12 months and suggested that I might like to give it a try. Having had a passing interest in martial arts over the years this piqued my interest and I attended a few classes to see how I would go. Some 5+ years later the rest as they say is history. The great thing about this martial art discipline, and this club, is that they are more than willing to adjust techniques etc to suit the individual?s physical limitations. They certainly expect that you be the best that you can be and strive for perfection, but if one is physically unable to master certain techniques they will work out an alternative for you that will achieve the same result. For me with the limitations placed on me by my knee this has been a godsend. Finally, from my point of view, our instructors being Grand Master Greg Walters (8th Dan) and his son Scott (6th Dan) are exceptional at their craft and this has made all the more enjoyable learning experience.
