Meanwhile lets just say that we are proud admin contributed a whooping 232 entries.
This is something I read from John Will in his recent blog which has inspired to me to write something about why we train. Many of us learn martial arts to basically to defend ourselves but those who continue training is because they want to build confidence, become stronger and feel good about themselves. To […]
Our Qld Head Instructor, Darren, has been an operational police officer for 29yrs and is in charge of Tin Can Bay and Rainbow Beach (just opposite of Fraser Island). He runs the Budoshinkai Rainbow Beach and Tin Can Bay schools. He also teaches BJJ and MMA to a handful of students mainly comprising of police […]
I want to congratulate the brave people out there who have to weather the heat. Special mention goes to the Fire Fighters, Road Workers and even the Cricketers. Others worth mentioning are the people who showed up to martial arts training this week, particularly Belmore and West Pennant Hills; I really admire these people. It’s […]
Another year has passed. I often reflect at the end of 12 months what have we achieved in the martial arts. Just as important what you, as an individual, have achieved. Martial Arts training requires your concentration, patience, time, and you make sacrifices, but the benefits are really worthwhile which result in an improvement in […]
We’ve heard the phrase, ‘one too many’ referring to drinking too much alcohol. This also has some significance to when you only have a very minute amount of time to react quickly and instinctively in self defence. Any more than one technique that pops up in your head will slow you right down. John Will’s […]
Sorry for submitting this a little late; we've had a busy week organising Richard Norton's seminars in Sydney. It was an excellent attendance this year and we all looked like one big happy family. This event is most important for everybody especially for the little ones. Every student was very special on this night and […]
Shihan Richard Norton flew into Sydney for a few seminars. It was great having him over here once again; we have the opportunity to train with the best Martial Artist on earth so I take every opportunity to train with him! On Thursday evening I hosted an MMA seminar at Belmore. On Friday training on […]
This incident comes to mind when Richard told me about his new project. He will be starring in a martial arts movie with Hollywood’s, Lance Henriksen (see pic) scheduled to commence shooting in early 2009 . This is a story about 2 Australian Cops in tons of ‘kick ass’ action (can’t say anymore, I have […]
We envy top athletes, including martial artists, and we wonder what it takes for them to get there. Many of us will have us believe that that we don’t have the ability. Thank goodness that is wrong because the power of volume training can help anyone do a whole lot better. What this means is […]
I was at Steve Perceval’s school over the last weekend doing another BJJ seminar with John Will. I dragged the twins along with me and sacrificed them to Richard Sargeant (who was recently promoted to Brown Belt) who did some attitude adjusting (just kidding). It is really good just to see John again because I […]
That is something my wife taught me many years ago when my children were growing up whilst doing the martial arts with me. She said, ‘what better way to keep everybody together in the family and share the same interest’. She also believes kids should not be readily afforded free choices when parents know they […]
How often do students switch off when the instructor shows a technique they have seen many times before? It’s because the student has a mental blue print of what is about to be shown and some of them have a tendency to switch off. The end result being no improvement or being worse off. When […]
