Tassie Martial Arts Chats

12/12/2023

Hi everyone.
Well it’s been 2 & 1/2 years since our last lockdown chat. It’s been fantastic to see the growth in that time amongst the Tassie Martial Arts scene. We’ve seen epic ‘world beating’ performances from Tassie athletes as well as many, many on the national and state front. Clubs have increased numbers and many new clubs have begun.

In 2024 we will revisit some of the people we interviewed for a quick catch up as well as talk to many more martial artists and combat athletes from all corners of the state.
If you want to contribute your story shoot me a message through this page and I’ll send some info.
Cheers
Brent
