Kyoshi Rod Catterall Celebrates 30 Years in Martial Arts in 2009

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 Rod Catterall was awarded his Sensei title, beginning 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 training has been developed through years of study from areas such as Sports Science, Education, Biomechanics, Nutrition and Physiology. Our methodology is one of using positive reinforcing, teaching the physical aspects to a student and developing the mind through strict discipline. Together they build a strong ethical, moral philosophy and spiritual introspection, that which is essential to the overall development of the student. All classes are structured to promote 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.

Before joining into a class the club it is highly recommended that you seek medical advice before starting any physical activity. After you have been given the all clear to undertake physical activity, then you then can set your intention on working the mind as well as the body, once you start you should plan on never stopping. Even when it becomes harder, as this will only strengthen your spirit and develop a strong mind, benefiting you in the long run.
