Short History
Founder Shane Molanus started his journey into martial arts at the age 12 years old and has now been training and teaching the past 40 years. After training in many different styles through his journey, Shane took what he thought were the most practical elements from various martial art styles and formulated a modern practical martial art geared towards the real world, utilising techniques from both sport and non- sport martial arts.
Our Happy Clients
I have been involved with Dragon Fist for almost 20 years and had the most amazing life changing experience, both physically and mentally. Shane has married the principle of mind and martial arts in a system that changes focus, discipline and attitude to your outer life. Outstanding physical fitness and a really technical martial art instruction. Had my children train also and they are now on their journey in life. I undertook private one on one training with Shane and also attended group classes with a positive social environment and a great training atmosphere. Highly recommend Dragon Fist MMA for anyone looking for a practical technical martial art.
I thought at the age of 46 I’d set myself a challenge and take up martial arts something I always wanted to try but to many other things got in the way, so now I was ready. I started at an entry level having never done this before and after 2.5 years progressed up through the belts to much satisfaction. What I found was the more I put in and the more I got back, now at nearly 49 I’ll say it has been one of the fittest times in my life and also learning new skills, good for the mind & self defence. I love the training, the discipline and the way I feel when I am finished a session. It shows that Shane has been instructing for many years with that comes his knowledge, ability to teach and his patience with each and every individual in the class making enjoyable. I have enjoyed meeting people of all ages allowing for me to meet other people I would not normally have met, the social aspect has been really good, I have met some cool people, which is something I had not thought about before joining. Apart from training Shane also offers natural therapies which has been a blessing, the cupping is my favourite which goes hand in hand after training, it is so beneficial and so relaxing, a must for my recovery. I’d highly recommend this centre as it is a humble environment, no show offs, people there to learn new skills and enjoy the benefits.
