ABOUT BJMA

Who we are and our history

 

The Bob Jones Corporation Pty Ltd is a multi-faceted organisation that promotes self defence and fitness training programs and supplies professional public security in the form of physical personnel and now electronic surveillance.

The company was established in 1965 by Mr Robert (Bob) Jones, who was responsible for establishing the first professionally organised Crowd Control Company.
