Martial
Arts Academy
(Speciality Training in Zen Do Kai Karate-Do, Muay

All Stars Martial Arts School was started back in 1984 when Rod Catterall
was asked by his instructor Shihan Raff Lanciana to take over the
running of the school previously run by Senpai Lisa Johnston having
to stop due to illness. In 1991 when Rod Catterall was awarded his
Sensei title, began his dream of building a business based on teaching
people to grow mentally, physically and spiritually and the beginning
of the All Stars Self Defence Centres. Since then the school has grown
into one of the most well respected and sought after martial arts
schools and training organisations in Victoria. Our head office and
full time training centre is located at the Virginia Park Business
Estate, 10/236 East Boundary Road, East Bentleigh Victoria, with many
other club locations in and around the Melbourne Metropolitan area
and interstate.

Our methodology is one of using positive reinforcing, teaching the
physical aspects to a student and developing the mind through strict

and spiritual introspection, that which is essential to the overall

respect for others and oneself, discipline, confidence, concentration,
fitness, flexibility, co ordination and self defence. The journey
is an internal one, overcoming the battles that rage within in order
to find happiness and contentment.
