Derwent Valley Martial Arts

Merry Christmas DVMA family.

Here is our calendar for the 2025 festive season.

Keep an eye out for open mats etc.

Be safe and have a good time with friends and family everyone.

The step to Blue Belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is one of the hardest steps because you officially "stop being a beginner." It is even harder if you are a teenager because Blue Belt is an adult belt. This means that you not only need the skills, but you need the maturity, the mentality and the grit to be able to hang with adults.

Samson Melody has been with us here in at Derwent Valley Martial Arts since he was 14 and has grown to be a leader and a fine example of a martial artist.

We couldn't be prouder of him and his work.

Congratulations Samson!

Congratulations to .10 on receiving his 3rd stripe in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu last night. Cody is one of our Derwent Valley originals and shows how hard work and disciplined attitude can take you far.

We have bright hopes for Cody!

If you are in the Valley and are looking for a new challenge, Derwent Valley Martial Arts might just be the community for you.

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.

 

Another amazing Tuesday is upon us.

Can't wait to see you all on the mat.

 

I'm very sorry, but due to illness there be no Mat Devils class tonight and no Muay Thai at 7.15pm.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
