How we Help
1. Help improve your confidence:
Martial Arts techniques themselves will inspire your confidence and further motivate you to
regularly attend classes. The physical training combined with the improvements in your mental
stability helps build confidence and will improve your self-image.
2. Regain your motivation in your current sport or training program
The techniques and syllabus taught at Pollet’s is engaging and fun. It’s hard to become bored with one of our martial arts disciplines as the techniques and content is constantly evolving as your skill level improves.
With six various disciplines under the one roof you are spoilt for choice!
You have so many opportunities under the one roof including gradings, tournaments, competitive
fighting, Master Boot Camps and Grand Master Seminars. Your opportunities are endless and can
take you all over the world!
3. Improve your fitness and physical health?
You can greatly improve the amount of muscle mass you have in your body with our action packed
martial arts disciplines.
Some of the many Muscular benefits of Martial arts include:
• Increased muscle mass- the more muscle you have, the more toned your body becomes
• The higher your muscle mass, the more calories you burn to maintain the increased muscle
• Higher levels of muscle mass lead to increased agility which helps prevent injury
A weak cardiovascular system can result in: shortness of breath, weakness, fatigue and in severe
cases – heart attack. We want to help you bulletproof your cardiovascular system!
Some of the many Cardiovascular benefits of Martial arts:
• Improvement in the cardiovascular system as martial arts is an activity that stresses the heart
• 30 minutes minimum is recommended for a good cardiovascular workout and the majority of
our classes are 1 hour with a minimum of ½ hour
Improved flexibility in the muscles, ligaments and tendons combined with greater coordination and balance helps reduces the chance of injury from falls and other accidents. This means performing routine tasks and errands becomes easier and safer as it reduces the amount of strain and exertion required when performing the task.
4. Empowering you to protect yourself?
To protect yourself you must have very fast reflexes. Research has found that by participating in martial arts, you not only improve your reflexes while performing the activity, but also experience faster reaction times during all actions in your life.
This is helpful in many day to day activities and crucial in being able to react in potentially dangerous situations.
Our syllabus content is structured with specific techniques to help protect your whole body and in endless scenarios that you may encounter.
Reflexes built up through consistent and frequent training combined with common sense and
environmental awareness learnt in martial arts is your best chance of staying safe.
5. Do you want to improve your child’s discipline, respect and build character?
Pollet’s Martial Arts Centre is a traditional karate school, delivering karate classes which focus on the psychological elements incorporated into a proper kokoro (attitude) such as perseverance, fearlessness, virtue, and leadership skills.
Our aim is to empower your child/ren to develop a strong mindset and understand we all face set
backs in our lives. By choosing to get back up again and progress forward they will become stronger and more resilient. This helps them in setting goals and having the patience while they are being achieved.
6. Does your child have Autism, Asperger’s, ADD, ADHD, depression, anxiety or high stress?
Your child can benefit immensely from the structure, focus, discipline and physical outlet that
Pollet’s Martial Arts provides. We help your child too develop improved concentration, boosted
confidence, a sense of serenity and a deep respect for themselves and others.
7. Do you have staff in you care that need to be able to better protect themselves due to the
environment they work in e.g. foster carers, paramedics and security workers? We would like this opportunity to help empower your staff and build their confidence to better manage and stay safe in adverse and potentially dangerous situations.
Your staff will be trained by highly qualified Instructors, with extensive self-defence training and coaching accreditation through the Australian Sports Commission with qualifications is 4 different martial arts disciplines.
Pollet’s head Franchiser, Hanshi Ian Pollet owned and operated his own Security Company and
Pollet’s Adamstown Head Instructor Shihan Danny Crouch has a current security license.
