Martial Arts Training and Practice

Get ready to sharpen your skills and build your confidence in a supportive, inclusive space designed especially for LGBTQIA+ martial artists. Hosted at the historic Erskineville Town Hall, this workshop is tailored for participants gearing up for the Sydney 2028 and Gay Games Perth 2030 tournaments.

Whether you’re brushing up on fundamentals or refining advanced techniques, this session offers focused, hands-on training with experienced coaches who understand the joy and discipline of martial arts in the queer community. It’s a perfect opportunity to connect with fellow athletes, share stories, and prepare for competition — all in a judgement-free zone that celebrates your journey.

This event is part of the vibrant Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras program, where community, culture, and sport come together. No experience? No problem. All skill levels are welcome — we’re here to grow together.

Training is free to attend, with equipment and mats provided. Just bring your energy, comfortable clothing, and a water bottle. Spots are limited, so we recommend booking ahead to secure your place. For more information on tournament participation and ongoing training, visit GL Martial Arts.

Let’s build strength, community, and courage — one move at a time.
