Factor10™ Martial Arts today is about passion. A passion to help everyone to reach life’s potential through the Martial Arts.
This passion has always driven what we do. Our Martial Arts organisation was born from a need to give ourselves life – a life where we reached beyond the day to day grind that limits us all in achieving our potential.
Out Martial Arts tradition has always been about getting the best and most out of life through the Martial Arts.
From our humble beginnings offering classes on a concrete floor in a large storage shed at the TAFE College in Innisfail in 1989 we have progressed to the Academy purchasing a brand new 500 square metre full time facility at Strathpine in 2003.
The wonderful journey in our early days from 1989 to 2003 saw us hiring halls in Innisfail and Brisbane, from Dutton Park to The Gap, from the city to Carseldine, and from Greenslopes to Albany Creek in Brisbane.
We have offered classes at QUT City, Kelvin Grove and Carseldine and finally made the move to a leased facility in 1997 at Albany Creek.
Our vision has always been to be an industry leader, to provide the instruction, service, support, and technology second to none in the health and fitness industry. And industry leaders running full time centres in Martial Arts in Queensland were few and far between in 1997. In fact we were the first to do so in Brisbane in that year.
And it all seemed mission impossible – and everyone said it could not be done. No one else in the industry had done it in Brisbane. But our passion, guided by Martial Art spirit and integrity, has enabled us to reach our life’s potential … to get the most out of life through the Martial Arts .. to pursue our spirit of innovation, excellence and success.
With this 20 year plus tradition and the establishment of Strathpine in 2003 as the State Training Centre, purpose build for Martial Arts athlete excellence,
Factor10 Martial Arts has gone from strength to strength since its humble beginnings in 1989 to be recognised by others in the industry as a world class industry leader.
Giving us more to life was our vision; our dream that has become a reality.
