About Mozhdeh Martial Arts
Mozhdeh Martial Arts is a family run club founded in Melbourne in 2017 by Master Arash Mozhdeh, to make world class coaching accessible to every student. As an Australian Taekwondo Affiliated club, following the world Taekwondo Olympic curriculum, we give students strong technical foundations and a clear pathway from their first class through to black belt, national representation and international competition.Â
Â
Today, we coach children from four years old, teenagers, adults and entire families through Lil Tigers, traditional Taekwondo, kickboxing, adaptive training, private coaching and our high-performance Olympic Taekwondo pathway. Whether your goal is to build confidence and fitness, master your next belt or compete at the highest level, there is a place and a next step for you here.Â
​
Our world class coaching standard is backed by genuine experience. Arash coaches alongside a team that includes national champions, Australian representatives (athletes, coaches and referees), award winning coaches, high level black belts and international referees. Some of our coaches began here as young students before becoming champions and leaders within the club.
Â
We are equally proud of the attention every student receives. Our strong student to coach ratio means students are seen, corrected and supported through their training, not left to follow along in the back. Â They are coached by people who have stood where they are standing, understand the challenges ahead and know when to teach, push support and advocate for them.
​
Our mission is to help every student achieve more than they thought possible, on the mats and beyond them. We do not only develop skilled martial artists, we build confident people, capable leaders and a community that stands behind its members at every stage.
