Wickham’s Martial Arts Centre

Over the past two days, in collaboration with YAG, we’ve been running Safe Guard Self Defence sessions led by Di. 🥋

The sessions combine practical self-defence skills with education around prevention, awareness and personal safety, helping young people feel more prepared and confident in different situations.

It was fantastic to see so many young people from across the Campaspe Shire area getting involved, asking questions and giving it a go.

We’re grateful to be able to host sessions like this and support young people with skills that can be valuable both on and off the mats.

A big thank you to Campaspe Shire Council for reaching out and to Di for the time, energy and care she put into making these sessions happen.

Keep an eye out for more Safe Guard Self Defence sessions coming up. 👊

How martial arts shapes kids physically & mentally 🥋

Martial arts is about more than keeping kids active.

Physically, they build coordination, balance, strength, fitness and body awareness. Mentally, they learn to focus, manage challenges, work towards goals and keep going when something doesn't come easily.

The best part? Those lessons don't stay on the mats.

They become skills they can use at school, at home and as they grow. 👊

Looking for a small, welcoming group to socialise with? 😊🥋

Our Zen Do Kai class is a great way to meet new people, learn practical martial arts skills, improve your fitness, and become part of a supportive community.

No need to know anyone before you walk through the door. Just come along and give it a go!

Every round starts with respect. 👊🥊

Touching gloves is a simple gesture, but it represents something much bigger. It shows trust, sportsmanship, and a shared commitment to helping each other improve.

In Teens and Adult Muay Thai, you're not just training with your opponent. You're learning alongside them, challenging each other, and growing together.
