Last Sunday Ikigai Martial Arts Academy attended the NEMAC 2026 Albury Wodonga championships, and won the Gold, Silver and Bronze medals in traditional weapons!🥇🥈🥉

A Massive congratulations to both Yohann who placed 1st, and Sempai Megan who placed 2nd. These two absolutely incredible martial artists, not only learnt the Kata they performed in less than 2 months, but also outperformed Sensei Xavier (3rd place) who was the one to teach them these Kata!

Sensei Xavier - "As a proud Sensei I couldn't be more happy that these two not only won medals, but also outdid me in the event, I don't have the words to convey just how proud I am!.. That being said, I'm also very competitive. You two have set the bar, I'll see you at the next comp 😉".

🥋Break through your limits and reach new heights!🥋

One of the greatest benefits of martial arts is the realisation that you are capable of overcoming self imposed limitations, that you can reach new heights and become the best version of yourself! Martial arts teaches life long skills such as patience, persistence, confidence and mental resilience, Which help to cultivate a strong mindset that empowers us to achieve our goals. Even when we encounter setbacks or make mistakes, martial arts helps us to view these not failures, but instead as opportunities to revaluate, learn and grow. A chance to get back up, dust ourselves off, and show the world what we are made of.

🥋Discipline, determination and dedication!🥋

Martial Arts is so much more than just "learning how to fight", in fact, combat only makes up a very small part of what Martial Arts is! Martial Arts is a way of thinking, a way of moving, a way of living, it teaches us to master not only our bodies, but our minds too. At Ikigai Martial Arts Academy our students learn valuable mental skills, skills that will help them not only in martial arts, but in life as a whole.

Discipline ✊
Discipline is an invaluable quality, it gives us the strength we need to finish something we started, control our emotions, and make thoughtful and appropriate decisions. No matter how challenging a situation becomes, discipline helps us see it through.

Determination🏃‍♀️
Determination is a powerful mindset, it drives us to become our best selves, it turns setbacks into and opportunities to improve and grow. With determination, our goals always remain within reach, regardless of difficulty.

Dedication⭐
Dedication is the drive to consistently give your best. It keeps us showing up, working towards our goals and always striving to do better. Dedication creates progress and through progress we can find the path to success.

🤑Honest pricing with no hidden fees!🤑

It is unfortunately quite common for organisations to hide their fees. This is negative for a variety of reasons, including frustration for customers, distrust, misunderstandings and discouragement of new customers.

At Ikigai Martial Arts Academy we avoid all these problems❗ We take a different approach operating on two simple principles: honest pricing and no hidden fees! Our members come first, and we understand that the key consideration is the cost for many people. This is just one of the reasons why we are committed to full transparency, we have our fees clearly displayed on our website for anyone to access, and we ensure that every potential customer is fully informed of any cost before making a decision. With us you can expect high quality training, while never sacrificing, trust, clarity and respect!
