Empowering through culture and movement

Ngurra Warriors is a movement of unity and pride, blending cultural knowledge with the strength of the martial path. Under the guidance of ambassador Nathan Lovett-Murray, the program empowers Indigenous youth to grow in confidence, strengthen their identity, and build long-lasting bonds within their communities.

Ngurra A Place to Belong

A fighting skills and self-defence program for people of all cultures who value pride in their heritage, strength in themselves and respect for others.

Ngurra is a word found in several Aboriginal languages, with meanings including home, Country, camp and a place of belonging. It expresses the connection between people, place and community.

Born from a respect for Australia’s First Nations cultures and their enduring connection to Country, Ngurra welcomes people from all cultural backgrounds, including those beginning a new life in Australia.

Through martial arts, practical self-defence and shared learning, participants develop confidence, discipline and physical skills while building friendships across cultures. It is a place to celebrate your heritage, respect the cultures of this land and build strength together.
