About KMA

A non-profit, community club

We're a registered non-profit community club (Kingsland Martial Arts Society Inc.) The club was first formed in 2002 by Paul Quickenden & Aaron Hochwimmer. Paul runs the majority of classes, however other senior belts regularly teach portions of the class for the development. 

Paul was trained to Black Belt by Master Callum Forbes when he lived in Wellington.  

Adult classes are on Monday, 7:30pm - 9pm and Wednesday, 7:30pm - 9pm

We run three kids classes, of an hour each, on Saturdays between 1:00pm - 4:00pm (please call first)

Club fees

Our class fees go directly toward hall-hireage, the purchase of equipment, special events and promoting the club. All of our instructors are volunteers. See our fees page for details and payment instructions.

Location

We train in the main school hall at Kowhai Intermediate School.

If you have other questions or need more information, please contact Paul on 027 253 3139 or email us and we'll do our best to answer.
