Welcome to Five Rings Dojo.

We are a Martial Arts Dojo operating on the Gold Coast. In our training system we encourage students to take part in Stand Up Techniques classes, and Groundfighting Technique classes, thus we have structured our school to make these classes available to all members and guests. Although we do not train in using weapons, our spirit is deeply rooted in the "Book of Five Rings".

The name “Five Rings” come from a book written by the legendary Musashi, a famous Samurai from the 17th century in Japan.  Five Rings Dojo founder Mr. Ray Matsumura has been studying Musashi his whole life, and believes strongly in the way of the Samurai.

Five Rings Dojo was established in 2003. The dojo was officially opened in April 2004, operating at 1 Seaview Avenue Mermaid Beach, centrally located on the Gold Coast. There are 2 training systems available at FRD. Kickboxing (stand up techniques of Muay Thai), and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (which also covers MMA). We encourage our students to learn both arts. We also have Kids Karate, Ladies Kickfit, and Tae Kwon Do.
