WHAT DO THEY SAY ABOUT US?

I come from a Rugby background and knew nothing about martial arts. Took my son there to try a different sport, I spent a year watching Rob develop my son into a true competitor. I finally built the courage to start Jiu Jitsu and it changed my life, mentally and physically made me a better person. It’s humbled me and taught me about respect and discipline, and family environment.

I highly recommend this to any man, women or child… Thank you to Rob Naumoski and his team ONE LOVE.

We couldn’t thank Rob and Zak and the team enough in providing a fun, safe, positive family environment for our kids! Their knowledge and teaching of BJJ and Hapkido is outstanding, with emphasis on loyalty and respect. Through their guidance, the kids pride and self esteem has grown tremendously. There is a strong sense of community and inclusion, and we’ve made life-long friends!

Thank you Rob and the whole team at UDA. My son loves training with you and can’t wait for the next class. We really feel at home every time we visit.

This is up there with the best places I’ve ever trained. The instructors are excellent, the members are like a big family. Couldn’t recommend more highly for anyone looking to start or continue their martial arts journey.

The Ultimate Defence Academy/Ultimate Hapkido is a professionally run dojo by Robert Naumoski a 3rd degree black belt in BJJ and Zak Angelevski a 4th Dan black belt in Hapkido and a first degree black belt in BJJ. My son and I both participate in BJJ and Hapkido at UDA. From the moment we walked through the door both of us with no experience what so ever we felt a part of the family from the get go, not only are you trained by some of the best martial artists going around, you are trained by some of the most humble martial artists on and off the mats. Whether you are an experienced martial artist or just a beginner you are welcomed with open arms and that is what is so beautiful about UDA. I am very proud to be apart of this dojo, I strongly recommend to anyone to come down to UDA and give BJJ or Hapkido or even both a go. It clears the mind, is great exercise and you form some great friendships. RESPECT HONOUR LOYALTY FAMILY

Adrian J

The number one martial arts school in Bayside if not all of Sydney. Robert and his entire team are not just trainers but family. It’s not just the self defence that is taught but confidence, respect and honour. Five stars is not enough of a rating.

Peter A

Great gym. Have been training there for a while and would call it almost like a family. The coaches are very knowledgable and their is a range of belts so there is always the perfect training partner.

Michael H

Can’t get a better team than this one! Almost 5 years training with some of the best people. The coaches are knowledgeable, supportive and always there to help

Angelica R

Family friendly environment, excellent coaches and lots of fun for the children.

Our family joined the Ultimate Defence Academy Family 9 years ago and we haven’t looked back. Rob and his professional team of instructors have always been welcoming and are so very knowledgeable. We are students involved in all classes from kids, teenagers, adults and women’s self defence.

UDA was a lifestyle change that we will be forever grateful for. We didn’t just walk into a gym to train, we were welcomed into a family that has changed our outlook on life. There is never a moment or obstacle that Rob, Maja and family won’t help with, from bullying at school, the art of Jiu Jitsu, self defence or life in general, the knowledge that they’ve pass on to us as students is invaluable. Learning from our Professor Rob is a great privilege that we are blessed with every session. We recommend UDA to all!!

Angela N

Great team. Great culture. Recommend UDA to everyone.

Dom B

Awesome dojo, great coaches Rob, Zak and Cameron…Respect

Zdravko K

I started here as a teenager and haven’t looked back. Super supportive team and staff with world class Jiu Jitsu. The kids classes especially are some of the best around, always lots of fun.

Marko P

My kids and myself have been a part of Ultimate Defence Academy for the past 10yrs. The training is world class for both kids and adults and the instructors led by Robert Naumoski are professional and always willing to help. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu teaches confidence, mental toughness, gets you in shape and most importantly teaches you Self Defence. I’m so grateful I got my kids involved at a young age. This is our second home and everyone that trains here feels like family. It’s a lifestyle that you can’t get enough of. Bring the family and watch the transformation, it’s worth every cent when it comes to the well-being of my kids and myself. If I could rate this facility a 10/10 I would.

Robert B

I have been taking my kid to UDA for 2 years now. With an excellent coaching team and a family friendly atmosphere, I would recommend it to any parent. Excellent for fitness, motor-skills development and self-defense for kids.

George A

I have been training at UDA on and off for the last 15 (probably more!) years and have seen it grow to what it is today; it is a testament to Robert’s passion and dedication to martial arts and to the community he serves. I’ve done all the classes, kids, adults, women’s self protection, Ninjitsu, BJJ, kickboxing, conditioning, MMA… all of it. Rob has a great crew of supportive instructors who truly enjoy what they teach. Would not train anywhere else.

Pros?
I have always felt welcome (despite my inconsistent training!)
Friendly atmosphere, no egos, knowledgeable instructors, variety of classes and class times to suit all ages and levels
Truly does develop self confidence
You WILL get fitter
You will make new friends
You will be happier

Cons? There are NONE. Just join this gym.
