Our Story
When Grandmaster Trevor Dicks and Master Instructor Margaret Dicks began their martial arts journey in 1972, they encountered a common problem: quality martial arts gear was prohibitively expensive, making the sport inaccessible to many who lacked the financial resources. Determined to change this, they started sourcing high-quality martial arts equipment from abroad at more realistic prices—first for themselves, then for fellow martial artists. From this simple mission, Pacific Sports was born.
For over 50 years, we’ve remained committed to that founding principle: everyone deserves access to quality martial arts equipment at fair prices.
A True Family Business
Pacific Sports is proudly Australian-owned and family-operated. Trevor and Margaret Dicks established the business, and today you’ll receive expert advice from either them or their sons, Stephen and Matthew.
This family approach means every customer receives personalized attention and genuine care, whether you’re ordering a single belt or outfitting an entire school.
We believe in building relationships, not just processing transactions. Every customer—wholesale or retail, first-time buyer or long-time supporter—is valued and important to us.
Experience You Can Trust
With over 50 years in the martial arts community, we bring deep knowledge and practical experience to everything we do.
As martial artists ourselves, we understand what you need because we’ve been in your position. We’ve worn the gis, used the training equipment, and know what holds up under rigorous training.
This hands-on experience guides our product selection. We choose equipment based on functionality, durability, and value—not marketing hype or brand names. Every product undergoes strict quality control to ensure it meets our standards.
Quality Across All Disciplines
Our comprehensive range serves multiple martial arts disciplines:
- Traditional arts (Taekwondo, Karate, Jiu Jitsu)
- Combat sports (Muay Thai, MMA, Kickboxing)
- Training and protective gear
- Gym and fitness apparel
Our products are trusted by martial arts schools and gyms throughout Australia. Many schools have relied on us year after year to supply their students with quality equipment at accessible prices.
Our Commitment to You
From Trevor and Margaret’s vision in 1972 to today, our mission remains unchanged: provide functional, reliable martial arts equipment at fair prices, backed by personalized service from people who truly understand the martial arts journey.
