Close Quarter Combat Training for Those Who Serve

🛑 Are you a current serving frontline officer?
🛑 Are you a veteran?

Do you want to train somewhere you are understood, respected, and welcomed?

Do you want to maintain or develop real-world defensive tactics — not sport-based fluff, but practical, pressure-tested skills for close-quarter environments?

Do you need flexible membership options that work around rotating shifts, deployments, and demanding schedules?

👊 Welcome to a place built for you.

As an Army veteran, I understand the demands, stress, and responsibility that come with wearing a uniform. This training environment is:

✅ Safe, supportive & inclusive
✅ Focused on mental resilience & wellbeing
✅ Designed for frontline realities — controlling high-stress close-quarters encounters
✅ Flexible & understanding of operational life

Your experience is respected.
Your service matters.
Your growth — physically, mentally, and tactically — is the mission.

🥋 Who can join?

🔶 Police
🔶 Military
🔶 Corrections
🔶 Emergency Services
🔶 Veterans
🔶 Approved civilians with the right mindset

✅ Beginners encouraged
✅ Martial artists from all backgrounds welcome

If you’ve served, if you still serve, or if you’re preparing to — this is your training home.

On Friday evening the founder and chief instructor of Diamond Martial Arts Master Phil Monaghan visited Grafton Diamond Martial Arts to conduct a 2 hr seminar on various facets of Essential Self Protection.

It was as it always is, an incredible evening of learning and interaction as Master Phil drew upon his decade of Policing experience and over 4 decades of multiple martial arts disciplines to provide an introduction to the fundamentals of
de-escalation, Self preservation and dis-engagement of a potential and immanent threat.

At the end of the evening I was shocked and incredibly honoured to have received the recognition and awarded the rank of 6th Dan in Freestyle Martial arts.
Of all the awards I have ever received (including from military) this award means the most to me. Not for its level of recognition but because it was granted by Master Phil.
If you know him at all, you will know that you must prove your worth, do the hours and sweat your salt in order to recieve recognition.

In a world where belts are ( at times and with some institutions) paid for it is incredibly humbling to be standing in front of a man who is as highly decorated across many disciplines. But even more than the awarded rank, MST Phil has encouraged me back into martial arts at a time in my life where I needed it most. He has stood by all my desicions and indecisiveness as I have struggled to find my own way in a way that is true to martial arts as it means to me.

My position and success today is due largely to those who have inspired and driven me since starting as a child. Every student that has left has helped me to strive to provide better. Every student who has stood before me has given me a sense of purpose and desire to help others avoid what I have endured since childhood.
The instructors that have betrayed me have shown me what not to be as a man and those who have taught me previously and still encourage me from afar give me strength and a sense of belonging that is embeded as deep as my inner core.

But no man has taken as great a risk, given me as much freedom and support as the man above and for that I am thankful beyond words.

My message here is a long ramble but I want to send a warning to all martial artists out there who strive for more. It is healthy to strive for more, in fact it is necessary......BUT, Never forget the hand that welcomed you to the floor on your very first lesson. For those of you who are further down the road, don't forget who paved the road you walk along. For those of you who go your own way I applaud you but NEVER forget who stood the teacher you bowed to when you were a mere white belt.
