Shire Martial Arts is a progressive Martial Arts school founded by 6th Dan black belt Gary P. Simmons in 1995. Shire Martial Arts offers fun, safe and challenging Martial Arts and Personal development programs for kids, teens, men and women. Shire Martial Arts helps students become internationally accredited Black belts by teaching practical and useful self defence and the art of Taekwondo. As well as this Shire Martial Arts is renowned for the way in which they help students develop their inner strength, confidence, self esteem, respect, pride in themselves and leadership skills. There is also a Teen Leadership program.

The structure of Shire Martial Arts is to facilitate training programs and create a community that is excellent for girls and women who want to learn how to protect and empower themselves without having to deal with a bunch of 'macho' guys. Having said that SMA also welcomes guys to join our existing group of polite, respectful and humble boys and men.

The Shire Martial Arts Mission is to help boys, girls, men and women become fit and strong. Shire Martial Arts also aims to provide a means and a community for our students and instructors to firstly distinguish and then to extend the comfort zone within their body, mind and spirit so we are all able to facilitate a steady and continual growth throughout our lives. Also, as you’d expect from martial arts training, the team at Shire Martial Arts is also committed to teaching practical and effective self defence in a fun and safe way.
