Taking action

Our goal at Suruka is to teach men and women(16+) to walk through life more confident and capable, to take control and be ready for whatever life throws at you. Live healthier and become mentally and physically more resilient, tougher, fitter stronger and more disciplined. We aim to achieve our goal by going back to basics and teaching self-defence and functional fitness. There is no point just talking about resilience if it is not backed up by practical training. Resilience is not a trait that you are either born with or without. Resilience is learned, developed and nurtured.
Self-Defence combined with Functional Fitness will make you a capable person in any situation. People who know they are capable are calmer and more relaxed in stressful situations.

Self-Defence/Protection

Being able to defend/protect yourself and your loved ones is a desire that every man has and should have. And women need to be able to protect themselves just the same.
At Suruka we teach practical self-protection that will work in real life.
We start with teaching awareness and avoidance, and the psychology of violence.
Then we teach back to basics practical self-protection that will work in high stress, high violence situations when your body gets flooded with adrenalin and only allows you to use gross motor movements.
Learning and practicing to protect yourself and your loved ones, in any situation will boost your confidence in everyday life.
"Self-Defence is not about winning, it is about not losing"

Founder of Suruka

The founder of Suruka, Matthias (Matt), was born in the Black Forest area of south west Germany. Matt spent most of his childhood roaming the hilly forest, under the guidance of his dad who taught him how to deal with harsh conditions and how to live, survive and have fun in the outdoors, which was a great resilience builder.
Early on in life Matt developed an interest in practical Self-Defence that actually works on "The Street". At age 16 Matt started working full time as a lumberjack, which greatly improved his strength, fitness and resilience. Later on Matt spent time in Canada where he learned to trap, track and hunt animals for food and improve his outdoor skills in extreme cold conditions, during the Canadian winter.
For a few years, Matt with his wife and 3 kids, lived in the very remote mountains of West Papua, Indonesia, where he worked as a bush helicopter pilot and gained valuable outdoor experience in the hot jungles and high mountains.
Because of all the time Matt spent outdoors and away from major population centers, he started to put together functional exercises and programs that he could implement anywhere without or minimal equipment.
In 2000 Matt came to Australia where he easily adapted to the very different outdoor and hunting conditions.
During his whole life Matt learned and practiced to adapt to different environments and situations and developed practical resilience and toughness, mentally and physically.
Matt utilized his back to basics functional fitness training everywhere.
Matt gained his qualifications and experiences in Self-Defence/Protection in the Civil, Military and Paramilitary worlds. And had to use his self-defence skills in many situations to keep himself and his family safe.
Matt holds a certificate III and IV in fitness and is a qualified self-defence trainer.
