What is Martial-ates Fusion?
Take the core principles of pilates: breathing, concentration, centering, control, precision, and flow and combine them with principles of traditional martial arts: courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control, discipline, awareness, and defence just to name a few, and we have martial-ates fusion. A functional hybrid discipline that fuses the deep core control and precision of Pilates with the dynamic strikes, stances, and breathwork of traditional disciplines like TaeKwonDo. This synthesis transforms physical force into fluid, centered kinetic energy by anchoring every punch and kick deep within the body's center.

Mums of Ipswich, bring bubs along and join us on the mat at 11am on Tuesday 11th August for a relaxed Mums & Bubs mat pilates class. Focusing on safe, low-impact movements specific to post-partum women, Mat Pilates can help gently rebuild the mind-body connection, promote total body strength, alignment and better posture, and is a beautiful way for mums to connect with other mums. This class, organised by You Me and the Community will be held at The Legacy Hub in the Ipswich CBD. A gold coin donation is appreciated and please bring your own mat and water bottle.
