Welcome to WightTricks Academy
WightTricks Academy (WTX) is proud to be the first and only tricking and acrobatics facility on the Isle of Wight. Based in Cowes, our academy specializes in teaching Acrobatics, and Tricking—a dynamic combination of gymnastics and martial arts movements. With over 150 active members, we are passionate about offering another unique and exciting alternative to traditional sports like football or rugby.
At WightTricks, we provide a variety of flexible membership options tailored to different levels of interest, with a particular focus on group classes. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to hone your skills, we have a program for everyone.
More Than Flips and Tricks
Our mission goes beyond teaching spectacular flips, kicks, and twists. We are committed to helping our students develop strength, body awareness, and overall well-being. Alongside acrobatics, we teach body conditioning, offer nutritional guidance, and foster positive lifestyle habits in a fun and engaging environment.
We aim to inspire young people—especially those who might not be drawn to conventional sports—to discover the joy of movement, fitness, and self-expression through movement. Tricking, in particular, is a visually stunning and unconventional discipline that values creativity over rigid grading systems, making it accessible and enjoyable for all.
A Unique, Student-Centered Approach
At WightTricks, we recognize that every student is unique. Just as every trick is different, so is every individual’s learning style. Our coaching approach is highly personalized, ensuring that no one feels left behind or incapable of achieving their goals. We tailor our instruction to match each student’s strengths, offering positive reinforcement and plenty of hands-on practice to build confidence and skill.
