Derwent Valley Martial Arts opened its doors in April 2022, offering classes in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai in New Norfolk. In the last 20 months since opening, we have built a strong community of students and coaches. We have had highs and lows and have had some great experiences. We have had students compete accross Tasmania in Muay Thai, Jiu Jitsu and Combat Jiu Jitsu. Yesterday, Derwent Valley Martial Arts reached a milestone, with our student Michael Gravenall, becoming our first "Valley-grown" Blue Belt (the first rank to be reached after white belt and a very significant step), after a gruelling 1 hour physical test at our sister academy
Derwent Valley Martial Arts is a community and family, so we are all extremely proud of Michael.
