Friday night was Benny ‘the Jet’ Urquidez seminar and what a night it was. I was once again happy to meet up and train with the legend of all legends in Kickboxing and Karate. Some of his best known students include Hollywood Stars, John Cusack and Richard Norton. Not to mention he has trained many other stars such […]
In a world where spare time is a rare commodity, we need to improve with managing our time, and to recognise and deal with time wasters, so we work in the most efficient way possible to be able to do what we want to do. Over thirty years ago, martial classes were 2 hours or more but sessions of […]
I was having a conversation with John Will last weekend, en route to seminars, which coincidentally was the same with Richard Norton only a few weeks ago. Whilst there is an important aspect, in what you learn, should work for self defence, not everything you learn has to be just for self defence. That includes Karate, […]
I have known Rob Naumoski for quite a number of years who is a close friend of mine. Last Wednesday night, he was surprised with his Black Belt in BJJ by Jorge Pereira (a Black Belt 6th Degree from Brazil) who is currently here in Australia. Rob is a senior Black Belt in Ninjitsu and […]
Sensei Benny 'the Jet' Urquidez will be back again in Australia soon. Undeniably, the best Kickboxer in the World with a never been beaten record of 200 wins (63 by knockout), zero losses holding 6 World Titles in 5 different weight divisions, remaining undefeated in his 27 year career. Sensei Benny has also trained Hollywood […]
If you walk into a posh restaurant and pay $90 for a meal, you may be forgiven if you feel a little bit of pain from departing of some of your hard earned dollars but you might console yourself by commenting on the good service, great wine and lovely meal. You walk into McDonald's the next day and […]
Next time you sit down in a decent restaurant and you order off the menu, think about what it would take to do the cooking yourself. You first drive to the shopping centre and visit your green grocer, butcher, fish market and liquor shop to buy all the stuff you need. Bring it all back […]
The main fascination of the martial arts is about the many things and techniques we come up with. Realistically, we are not going to be able to use everything we learn nor would they be useful in most street situations but we like to indulge in our arts by training our minds and bodies to […]
I am fortunate enough to spend every moment with Richard Norton when he comes to Sydney. It was hard work but it was great clocking up 6.5 hours in BJJ and 4.5 hours MMA with the undeniably best all round martial artist in the world this weekend! Saturday was a treat for our school at […]
There is not a single person on this earth who would not have heard the famous cliche, Wax on, Wax off – straight out of the original Karate Kid movie. It got me thinking in class yesterday whilst teaching Richard Norton’s Black Belt Complexes to my students. I passed a comment that the moves might […]
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 […]
