WHO ARE WE
WE DON'T JUST TEACH MARTIAL ARTS.
ABOUT US
At Martial Arts Spirit, we know how important family is.
All our students, regardless of age, gender, culture, or religion also join our family, united in experiencing all the benefits that martial arts has to offer. We assist, guide, nurture and encourage our students in a safe environment, to overcome and obstacle that is set in front of them and helping them to be confident, humble and respectful leaders of our society.
Our instructors look at each student as an individual to assess the individual challenges they may face. Our mission at Martial Arts Spirit is to provide constant and never-ending personal growth and improvement to our members through the values of Taekwondo.
WE ASSIST, GUIDE, NURTURE AND ENCOURAGE OUR STUDENTS IN A SAFE ENVIRONMENT, TO OVERCOME ANY OBSTACLE
OUR HISTORY
From humble origins in 2006 in a small community centre in Southwest Sydney, Martial Arts Spirit has grown into 7 locations across Sydney, providing our programs in your local community.
The MAS Founders comes from a diverse background, bringing different skills and ideas to the table but our goals is the same: To provide an environment of constant and never-ending personal growth and improvement to our members through the values of Martial Arts.
Martial Arts Spirit Australia
Founded in 2006, Martial Arts Spirit Australia has grown from a single community centre program into a world-recognised martial arts organisation, now operating 7 locations across New South Wales.
Over the past 20 years, MAS has proudly taught thousands of students, producing:
- State and National Champions
- Australian representatives
- International medalists
MAS has consistently ranked #1 in NSW across many competitions and state championships, reflecting the high standard of coaching, athlete development, and training culture within the organisation.
Martial Arts Spirit gained national recognition through appearances on Sunrise and Channel 7, showcasing our innovative Mini Rangers preschool program. Our preschool and school-based programs have since been delivered across numerous schools and preschools throughout NSW, introducing martial arts as a powerful tool for early childhood development.
THE FOUNDERS
Our coaching team is truly world class, with many coaches conducting seminars globally and several holding World Champion status, ensuring students receive elite-level instruction in a supportive and positive environment.
The MAS Head Instructor team expanded with the addition of Taejoon Moon and Vince Messina that also operate their own MAS schools, whose contributions have helped elevate Martial Arts Spirit into a globally respected school known for developing leaders, role models, and champions of society. Their experience as students and then as instructors have helped shape our curriculums over the generations to increase and maintain engagement from students whilst having fun. Their experience training in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu has also allowed MAS to expand into offering other martial arts not just Taekwondo.
More importantly than medals or rankings, Martial Arts Spirit has changed thousands of lives — helping students build confidence, form lifelong friendships, develop discipline, and learn the skills to protect themselves and others.
Today, Martial Arts Spirit Australia stands for more than just martial arts.
We stand for growth, confidence, community, and excellence — on and off the mat.
