WHO CAN WE HELP?
Our Community Focus Is On These 3 Types of Martial Artist.
Which of these best describes you?
Never Tried Martial Arts?
Searcher/Seeker
You'd love to try it but you are .. (Insert Reason)
Fear of Injury
Fear of looking silly
Think it's too violent?
There's nowhere to go to that's close by
Maybe you're too shy?
Maybe you have a friend that does "something" but his stuff is not to your liking
Â
Currently Training in Martial Arts?
Striving for Mastery
You currently have an Instructor and a School/Dojo/Gym to go to, but...
You're not enjoying it
It's too... (insert reason) hard, easy, strict, not strict enough
Adults and Kids train together (that's just too amateurish to cope with)
You're instructor is inexperiencedÂ
You're not being taught the deeper and more philosophical lessons
Your art might seem 'ineffective"
Â
No Longer Training In Martial Arts?
Starting Again
You used to train but for (insert reason) you're no longer actively involved but you remember how great Martial Arts was for you!
You've quit
Your School/Dojo/Gym closed or moved away
The stuff you were taught had no substance, no basis in reality
You were forced into participating in tournaments (don't get us started on this one)
Â
 Train with Purpose.
Belong to Something Greater.
The good news is that you don't need to live next door to a temple to study like the warriors and monks of antiquity.
We bring timeless martial arts values, structure and wisdom to serious students - no matter where you live.
Grow stronger than ever with real instruction, serious community, and high-level mentorship.Â
Â
You’re Not Failing Martial Arts,Â
Martial Arts Has Been Failing You!
Your journey in martial arts didn’t end, it just got interrupted. Whether you left the path due to injury, life, or lack of the right teacher, the path is still here...Â
Too many talented students have quit because they lacked support, guidance, or a school that actually cared.
The dojo was too far. Life got complicated. Maybe the spark just faded.
But the truth? You're still a martial artist. You just lost your way.
You want to train. But YouTube is chaotic. McDojos are everywhere.
And the sensei you once trusted? Moved away. Retired.
Or just… disappeared.
It’s easy to drift. To quit. To wonder if your path is gone for good.
But the real problem?
You’ve never had the structure, guidance, and philosophy that builds long-term martial artists.
Technique alone isn’t enough - and your spirit knows it.
We’re here to help you find it again.

Your Martial Path Didn’t End; It Just Got Lost
Maybe life pulled you away — work, injury, kids, time. Maybe it was a bad experience, or you just couldn’t find the right instructor. But something in you still remembers what it felt like to be on the mat... clear, strong, alive.
You miss the way your body moved when it was trained. You miss the discipline that sharpened your mind, the focus that carried into everything else you did. You miss being part of something bigger than yourself. That subtle pride of having a black belt in progress, the way your posture changed, the confidence that came from doing something hard and sticking with it.
Quitting didn’t feel good. It never does. Especially when you know you had more in you.
The truth is, you didn’t fail martial arts. Martial arts failed you — with shallow instruction, missing guidance, or the loss of access to a school that truly fit.
But here’s the other truth: it’s never too late to return.
You can come back, smarter, wiser, stronger. With the right support, the right training, and a community that takes this seriously, you can reignite your practice, refine your technique, and finally earn that belt that haunted you in the best way.
There is immense satisfaction in setting things right.
You don’t just become fit - you become focused.
You don’t just gain strength - you gain meaning.
We’re here for the serious students. The ones who want more than flash.
If you’re ready to find your way or, to find your way back - we’ll help you walk it.
Ignite your passion, refine your skill, and grow stronger than ever with serious instruction, real community, and high-level mentorship.
Welcome to the School of Martial Arts Online
The School of Martial Arts Online was founded to bring back depth, clarity, and purpose to martial arts training. Founded by Master Mark Walker — a 60+ year veteran Instructor and founder of one of Australia’s top martial arts schools. School of Martial Arts Online is a place where traditional values meet modern access. Our students rediscover their strength, their identity, and their confidence through disciplined training and authentic mentorship.
Whether you train in-person or online, this isn’t a course. It’s a living, breathing community of warriors and seekers, training with integrity and intention.
You'll find:
- Â A private network of committed martial artists
- Â Pre-recorded masterclasses and technique libraries
- Â Vetted affiliate Instructors (only the real ones)
- Â Workbooks, blogs, and legacy lessons turned modern
- Â A place to learn, reflect, and grow beyond the mat
Â
 What Makes This Community Different?
Let's face it.. without expert and experienced Instruction in the deeply rooted values, philosophy and principles of martial arts...you'll quit. Again, and over and over again.
Whether you train in-person or online, this program isn’t just a course. It’s a community, and whilst most online programs chase views, we chase values. We teach about the mindset and meaning behind every movement.
Mindset That Lasts a Lifetime You’re not just learning how to block or strike — you're learning how to stay calm, focused, and disciplined under pressure. Martial arts builds clarity and courage that shows up everywhere — work, family, and self.
Belonging to a True Martial Community This isn’t just a YouTube channel (although we do have one too). It’s a serious space where dedicated martial artists gather, support, and grow together. You’re not alone. Here, you train with others who care about the art — and your progress.
Instruction That Respects Your Journey Whether you’re starting again or striving for mastery, you’ll learn from instructors who’ve lived the path. Technique. Philosophy. Accountability. All rooted in tradition and purpose.
You’re Not Just a User — You’re a Student Every member matters. This isn’t “click play and vanish.” It’s a dojo. With real support, real structure, real growth.
We Don’t Sell Out — We Level You Up No gimmicks. No belts-for-cash. No fluff. Our affiliate Instructors are vetted. Our lessons are tested. And every technique has earned its place.
