WMAC BEGINERS’S MANUAL
Wickham’s Martial Arts required a clear beginner’s manual to guide new students starting their training. Previously, three separate manuals were used to explain styles, belt progression, rules, and dojo etiquette.
The goal was to combine these into one structured guide that felt easy to follow while still reflecting the discipline and culture of the dojo. The design needed to simplify the information and present it in a format students could quickly understand and return to throughout their early training.
