Weapons Training for Beginners | Martial Arts Marrickville
Weapons training is a core part of traditional martial arts, developing precision, control, timing, and adaptability.
Our weapons program introduces students to common martial arts weapons, teaching practical handling, defensive awareness, and fluid movement. Training focuses on coordination between body mechanics and weapon use, emphasising efficiency, balance, and control rather than brute strength.
Students will learn the fundamentals of traditional weapons such as staff, short stick, sword, and other classical training weapons, including striking, blocking, footwork, distance management, and partner drills. The philosophy behind weapons training is using correct technique, timing, and positioning to overcome strength and size differences — making it effective for both men and women.
