Meet our Head Instructor
Dave Berthon is the Head Instructor at Macarthur Martial Arts – Kyokushin and holds the rank of 2nd Dan Black Belt. He has trained in Kyokushin Karate for over 25 years and has more than 30 years of martial arts experience.
In addition to his martial arts background, Dave served as a frontline police officer for 14 years, including in a tactical policing unit responsible for responding to high-risk armed offenders. These combined experiences provide him with a genuine understanding of real-world situations where self-defence may be required.
Dave's teaching philosophy is centred on building confidence, resilience, and self-control. He believes the greatest form of self-defence is the ability to remain calm under pressure,
de-escalate conflict wherever possible, and respond physically only as a last resort. His goal is to help every student develop not only practical self-defence skills but also the discipline, respect, and confidence that extend well beyond the dojo.
Dave is passionate about helping people of all ages achieve their full potential while enjoying the journey of learning and personal growth.
At Macarthur Martial Arts, the safety and wellbeing of our students is a top priority. All instructors hold current Working With Children Checks (WWCC), as required by law, and are certified in First Aid, ensuring a safe, professional, and supportive training environment for children, teens, and adults alike.
