AIKIDO & WEAPONRY CLASSES
Cradle Coast MMA is more than just a MMA and BJJ facility. We also offer classes in Aikido and Weaponry for children, women and men.
These classes are instructed by Jade Masters (2nd Dan) who has been studying aikido for 15 years where he also derives teachings from his studies in MMA, BJJ, Eskrima, kickboxing and boxing.
Aikido to many looks like a dance. The things is it's very far from it! True aikido attacks the centre, takes one's centre whilst moving from the centre in harmony with ourselves.
Cradle Coast MMA offers true aikido that is overseen and headed by Peter Kelly Sensei (10th Dan and International Chief Instructor).

TAKING THE FIRST STEP!
For most people, taking the first step on their martial arts journey is the hardest.
It's the step that brings uncertainty, self-doubt, worry and fear. We begin asking ourselves questions like, "Will I fit in?" "Am I too old?" "Am I fit enough?" "What if I embarrass myself?" These thoughts come from stepping into something unknown.
Over my 28 years of training and teaching, I've seen this countless times. So many people express a genuine interest in starting, yet never quite make it through the door. Not because they can't—but because fear convinces them not to.
The people who grow are the ones who are willing to dare. Willing to dream. Willing to have a go despite the uncertainty.
At Cradle Coast MMA, we understand what it feels like to be the new person. Every senior in our academy once stood exactly where you are now—nervous, unsure and wondering if they belonged.
Our job isn't just to teach martial arts. It's to create a safe, welcoming environment where you can learn, grow and discover what you're truly capable of. Whether you're looking to build confidence, improve your fitness, learn practical self-defence, or simply challenge yourself, we'll meet you where you are.
You don't have to be great to start.
You just have to be brave enough to take the first step.
We'd love to walk the rest of the journey with you.
To get your started we are currently offering your first week FREE plus a 20% off your first three months. Simply head to our website, fill out our free trial form and we'll take care of the rest!

YAY! IT’S OUR FIRST BIRTHDAY! 🎉 🥳 🎉 🥳
Cradle Coast MMA is excited to announce that today marks our first birthday!
Like most businesses, making it through your first year can be extremely difficult with many peaks and valleys. That said, we are super proud of our journey and how far we have come as a community based mixed martial arts school located in the northwest region of Devonport, Tasmania.
Our first year has seen us move premises from our initial days at Forth Football Club (a huge thanks to Norm) to Downtown Fitness in Devonport. We’ve also had over 35 students join, martial arts practitioners from Melbourne come train with us and youth from T4 Engagement in Devonport join us weekly for youth workshops. We’ve also seen toes broken (yes, mine), blood noses, water sprayed across the mats from water wrestling, mirrors broken to some incredible results and growth from our kids, teens and adults’ programs.
We’ve also had two special guests conduct brilliant workshops from the likes of International Chief Instructor, Peter Kelly Sensei (10th Dan) Aikido Yuishinkai coupled with Kris Young (2nd Dan) from Broome Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
Our focus from day one has always been about people. The person. Businesses are not about the four walls that they reside in. They are about people, and such, it is our students, the parents, the businesses and the wider community who have shaped and laid the foundations of what Cradle Coast MMA has become in its first year.
That acknowledged, I would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every person who has been with us on our journey. I would also like to make a special mention of a few individuals who have gone above and beyond to ensure we are here for the long haul.
Firstly, to Jason Berger, our first ever student to walk through the door. A person who has supported me since day one. From lifting mats to finding us a new home in Devonport I cannot thank you enough mate!
Secondly, to Amy, Gene, James and Lou - an amazing family indeed! I cannot thank you all enough! From Amy and Gene being our next few students but to further become like household furniture. You have all supported me from day dot. I hope you have learnt as much from me as I have from you. Your ongoing teaching, assistance, love and support has been incredible! Thank you all!
Thirdly, to Brodie Armstrong, co-owner of Downtown Fitness and Tas Property Care I cannot thank you and your business partner Wesley enough for allowing Cradle Coast MMA the opportunity to move into your amazing premises. If that wasn’t enough, you then decided to support us by enrolling your entire family including yourself into our classes and as a result you've all seriously flourished. You, yourself have further become an outstanding instructor that all the students look up to and love. For that I say thank you mate!
Lastly, to Peter J Kelly, a person I consider to be a best mate coupled with the best martial artist/instructor I have ever seen. You have been there from day one of our inception supporting and encouraging me throughout. As always - a massive thank you!
A massive shout out also to Jason from BJJ Tasmania for filling the role of coaching me and our guys and girls each fortnight. I have seriously loved your approach to the art of BJJ. Cheers!
For those in the community seeking to embark on a journey in martial arts you are welcome to come watch, join us for a free trial or purchase a membership. Our family at Cradle Coast MMA are a joy to work with.
Again, a massive thanks to all and Happy First Birthday to Cradle Coast MMA 🎉 🥳 🎉 🥳
