Coastline Martial Arts

We are no longer operating as SAMA South Coast

We are pleased to confirm that we are now operating independently under a new name Coastline Martial Arts. This change reflects our commitment to strong governance, transparent safeguarding practices, and a modern, student‑focused approach.

While we previously operated under the SAMA organisation, we have now separated due to differences in direction relating to organisational management. This decision was made thoughtfully and proactively to ensure our students, families, volunteers, and instructors receive the highest standard of care and professionalism.

Our teaching team, training methods, and class structure remain exactly the same — with enhanced safeguarding processes and clearer accountability. We continue to deliver high‑quality martial arts instruction rooted in safety, respect, and personal development.

Thank you for your continued trust and support as we move forward with a stronger, more transparent foundation.
