Safe

One of my students was attacked the other day by someone running past him. This guy hit him and then my guy reacted. As he saw the punch coming it was only a glance as it hit him, he then used taekwondo to get distance and knock the guy over, then MMA to take the guy down then Jiu jitsu exactly as I showed him to control the attacker. My student wasn't hurt and the attacker was left humiliated and worse for wear. Hopefully this guy will not try to attack someone that looks unassuming in the future. Keeping it real @ fivestar martial arts.

Success again

Training with Professors

The last time I trained with a Jiu jitsu Professor it was Professor Wally Jay 8th Dan a Hawaiian Jiu Jitsu Profesor. It was great and was some 20 years ago..... Yesterday I trained with another Professor in Sydney, infact there where several blackbelt Professors teaching and a current World Champion in the room.

Empowering to be working towards another blackbelt in a different style around people with no egos.

Can't wait for next road trip ..... Oh and a comment " your a natural" was nice, thank you

While your contemplating doing or achieving your first blackbelt, I am fortunate not to have been a quitter and achieved 3 so far in 25 years and aiming for number 4. Maybe the most rewarding
..., we will see,
keep it real

Bully camp so rewarding

Our first new bully camp with so many new kids was a great success. All the students had hours of fun and serious ground breaking learning with very little actual taekwondo. The parents were in awe of what the children learned and how fast they picked up the techniques. Kids from 4 to 14 were made safer when they go back to school.

It distressing how much bullying goes on in schools, so much we have had requests for another camp at Xmas and parents booking places already. Non violent bull proofing with verbal and physical control of the bully which is so empowering for all the child.

Watch for our program specifically for ladies... Another first in the Illawarra!
