Skipping Warm Ups

It is essential that at the commencement of every FIRST Martial Arts WA class that we allocate 15 to 20 dynamic minutes to cardio, flexibility, strength and balance drills. At First Martial Arts, we try to keep our warm-ups fresh; sometimes introducing different equipment to keep our students challenged – in this case skipping ropes!

This signifies that our students value our traditional martial art and respect the concept of time-honoured promotions – there are no quick promotions here (3 months/ 6 months+ are the bare minimum).All First Martial Arts WA students are required to meet minimum time served on each rank, in addition to strong technique, sound mental strength and a firm understanding of the syllabus. This provides them with adequate time on each rank to gain a deeper knowledge of the Art.

Next Generation of FMA Leaders

In our traditional school, with rank (no matter what age) comes responsibility and duty; so our next generation of First Martial Arts (WA) leaders are formed over the decades.

Focused Mind

First Martial Arts students not only train their physical bodies, but strengthening of our mental character is also achieved over time.

A determined and focused mind is the strongest of all the tools within our self defence arsenal, and as students train, mature and improve in their abilities – the mind becomes sharper.

To have a strong spirit is an important aspect of First Martial Arts training, and is not only necessary on the journey towards Black Belt, but it is also an essential life skill.

Pad Striking Drills

Punching drills at our Morley Dojang recently. Pad work is an important element of our First Martial Arts Do training as it improves our timing, accuracy, distancing awareness, speed, endurance and technique.

In addition to these, pad work also improves the ability to deliver techniques from various angles and develop combinations.
