The Crocodile Hunter wrestled twelve-foot saltwater crocs for a living. The man who taught him to grapple is coming to Ako.

Dan Higgins is one of the genuine pioneers of Australian MMA. He trained Steve Irwin. He's produced and cornered a long line of UFC and professional fighters across a forty-year career on the mats — the real thing, built under real pressure.
On Saturday 27 June he's running a self defence seminar at Ako — practical, tested skill, the kind you hope you never need and want in your body if the day ever comes.

Beginners welcome. No experience required. Just turn up and learn from the source.

Never done martial arts before? Here’s what to expect at Ako.

You’ll be welcomed not thrown in the deep end. From the moment you walk through the door, someone will be there to make you feel welcome, answer your questions, and make sure you feel at home before you even step on the mats.

You’ll start with the basics. No one expects you to know anything. Our classes are built for beginners, which means clear instructions, patient coaching, and zero judgment.

You might surprise yourself! Most people leave their first class thinking ‘why did I wait so long?’ The hardest part is walking in. We’ll take care of the rest.

Guppies is our class for toddlers aged 2–4, and yes, you’re on the mats with them!

Every Guppies session is 1:1, parent and child together, moving through play-based activities designed to build coordination, balance, and that very first taste of following instructions (no small feat at this age 😄).

No martial arts experience needed. Just show up ready to play, move, and maybe laugh at yourself a little.

This is where confidence starts! Timetable and more info via our website.

There's a moment at every comp where a kid looks over at the corner, takes a breath, and decides to back themselves.

We saw a lot of those moments at Grappling Industries Gold Coast last weekend, and our juniors finished 9th out of 44 teams to show for it.

Sharp technique. Genuine sportsmanship, hands shaken, opponents respected, nerves faced head-on. Some of our juniors competed for the first time. Some came up against tougher draws than they hoped. All of them grew.

That's the win we care about. Not just the placing, the courage to test yourself and the character to handle whatever comes.

Well done, team. On and off the mats.

The confidence you didn’t build. The stress you didn’t release. The community you didn’t find. The version of yourself you kept putting off.
