Inclusive Martial Arts Program

At Assist Care Management, we recognise that martial arts offer more than physical activity. They are a unique avenue for building confidence, emotional control, social connection, and holistic growth. Our Inclusive Martial Arts Program is designed to empower NDIS participants in a safe, supportive, and adaptive environment.

Our Approach

We deliver martial arts as a person-centred, inclusive activity, always tailoring support to the individual’s strengths and needs. Here’s how we bring that to life:

Understanding Your Goals: We take time to listen to your ambitions, whether that is improving coordination, building social skills, or enhancing daily living capacities.
Adaptive Programming: Every class is designed with modifications in mind including adjusted pace, movement options, instruction styles, and support worker roles to suit varying abilities.
Collaborative Planning: Working closely with participants, instructors, families, and support coordinators, we co-design a structured plan that aligns with your NDIS goals.
Dynamic & Flexible Delivery: As participants grow in confidence and skill, we adapt the program with a focus on progression, independence, or group inclusion as appropriate.

Services We Offer

Our Inclusive Martial Arts Program includes:

Group Martial Arts Classes: Participatory sessions in Karate, Taekwondo, Judo, or other compatible styles adapted for all levels.
One-on-One Coaching: Tailored instruction for participants who prefer or require a more personalised setting.
