the Wyllie brand was established by Greg Wyllie in 1985
Wyllie Martial Arts was founded in 1985 by Grand Master Greg Wyllie on Sydney’s North Shore. As one of the early pioneers of Martial Arts in Australia, Greg built a strong foundation for what has become a respected, family-run academy with over 30 years of history.
Today, the Wyllie legacy continues with Greg, Steve, Chris and Matt Wyllie leading a dedicated team of instructors committed to teaching Martial Arts with passion and purpose.
We’re proud to offer high-quality training for all ages – from toddlers and kids to teens and adults. More than just physical skills, our programs focus on building confidence, discipline, and resilience – qualities that empower individuals both on and off the mat.
At Wyllie Martial Arts, this is more than just what we do – it’s who we are. And we’re honoured to share that journey with every student who walks through our doors.
