What an incredible evening we had at this year’s Champions Martial Arts Annual Awards Ceremony! The Football Clubhouse was buzzing with excitement as students, parents and instructors came together to celebrate the hard work, progress and spirit that makes our community so special.
From our youngest Lil Champs to our dedicated Adults, every single student has worked so hard this year- and it was an honour to celebrate their achievements. Awards were presented across a variety of categories. Each award represented not just skill, but the perseverance, courage and dedication that define martial arts training.
One of the most emotional moments of the evening came when our Chief Instructor, Darren was presented with not one, but two very special awards:
Sensei of the Year, a heartfelt surprise presented by our members and coaches, along with an incredible video filled with kind words and messages of gratitude.
Group Instructor of the Year - presented by Sensei Mark Currie, recognising outstanding dedication to teaching and developing students.
We celebrated the passion and leadership that inspire us every week.
Throughout the evening, we captured so many smiles, hugs and proud moments. Seeing students step up to receive their awards, often cheered on by teammates and family. It was a reminder of what makes Champions Martial Arts so unique — we are more than a club, we are a family.
Thank you to every student, parent and supporter who came along and to those who couldn’t make it - you were missed! Your dedication and energy are what make Champions Martial Arts thrive.
Here’s to another amazing year of training, growth and unforgettable memories.
