A huge thank you to all the competitors, The standard of competition was outstanding, but what stood out even more was the respect and sportsmanship shown by every competitor, coach, and supporter.

A special message from professor Dixon “A huge thank you to everyone who officiated, supported, and volunteered at the Masters of Martial Arts Annual Championships.
Events like this simply would not be possible without the dedication, hard work, and commitment of so many people working behind the scenes to ensure everything runs smoothly.
A special mention must go to Sensei Colin, who worked tirelessly collecting equipment and mats and transporting them to the venue the day before the event. His efforts were invaluable in ensuring everything was ready for the championships.
Thank you also to Sensei Phil for bringing along the pop-up shop and helping to enhance the experience for competitors and spectators alike.
Last, but certainly not least, a huge thank you to Sensei Dean and Sensei Kayleigh, who were instrumental in putting the entire competition together. From organising competitor entries, grades, and weight categories to ensuring fair competition throughout, their attention to detail and hard work resulted in a championship that ran impeccably smoothly from start to finish.
To everyone who gave their time, energy, and expertise—thank you. Your efforts made the event a tremendous success, and it is greatly appreciated by all involved. Best regards Prof Dixon”
