End of a Era January

After 25 yrs of unbroken coaching and competing I have decided to leave Sport Taekwondo. It has been a difficult decision made easier with poorly performing associations.

I have had a lot of highs and low but that comes with coaching. I will hopefully complete my writting very soon and get to print... Successes too many to mention..... insignificant :)

I will now focus on the Martial Arts aspects, working on my Taekwondo advancement, MMA program, Brazilian Jui Jitsu, and all aspect of my Martial Arts and fitness centre as well as my Reiki modalities.

I will give alot of time to my family and to the members of my school. I look forward to developing them into better people and Martial Artist. I thank Michelle Cooley my lovely wife for her support.

Taekwondo WTF Style is Everywhere

As you see Taekwondo is in about 191 countries, obviously the map is not to scale. But the point is that is it a truly internationally accepted and recognised Martial Art. It is not just made up in the last few years. It is at Olympic, World Champ , World Cup, World Uni Games, and so many more international competitions. More importantly it is recognised as a leading martial art with the strongest most highly regarded kicking styles. Our grading system is worldwide standard and thus credible. Police forces all over the world train in Taekwondo and in particular the Korean army and police.

Who would you join over 80 million people can't be wrong ?

10 years training for ADAM

CONGRATS to ADAM MURRAY 10 YEARS training at our SCHOOL from 4 yrs to 14 yrs, about to test for his 3rd Degree Blackbelt. Kim Dalton (Original coach) would be very proud of you Adam. longest student at SCTC FiveStar without a break!!!!! This is one of many reasons why students and parents choose to stay with us.

Cristina 3rd Degree Blackbelt, Rachel 2nd Degree soon to be 3rd Degree training since 3.5 yrs old,

Benjamin achieved Blackbelt (as did 2 other siblings and another in training), ADAM training since 4 yrs old now 14 yrs old and awaiting his 3rd Degree test in June 2011. Yes they have grown into fine young teenagers and some almost teens. And I might say well educated!

Not all Martial Arts Schools are the same.

As a new member found out the other day FiveStar SCTC is a startling difference in its attitude, technique, and just the true application to movement. It is not not about stop start a fight whether on the street or in the ring is continuous there is no point sparring on the street it is just a continuous flow.

Hence our sparring program allows you to do just that and train for the fitness required.
We Welcome you to try our world class training venue and programs. It is easy to see why people have come from Korea, UK, Malaysia to name a few and love our school!

New MMA Cardio Fitness Program Coming soon

We are always looking to make things fun and exciting, even more then it is ? Yep why not!

Our Bootcamp and classes have already a ton of MMA aspects to them.

But soon I am launching a MMA Fitness Program (certified Instructors Master Rob and Mish).

Do you think it might be for you?

Spring And Summer are not far away so get that bod you want with fun and safety!

Are all nightly fees cheaper in the long run?

Some people advertise only $12 a lesson pay as you go. Sounds cheap .....hmm maybe it is not.

lets see $12x 2 night wk x 4 = $96 mth x 12 = $1152 per year.....

Or what we do is unlimited training upto 6 days/week $88 per month x 12 = $1056 per year..... cheaper and more lessons. When you add the significant cost for more lessons without the $12 a session it get extraordinarily cheaper! You will save loads enough for a family holiday.

Here is the important thing most schools that you train maybe twice a week at how long does it take to get a blackbelt? 2 years? I think not more like maybe 4 years..... so 4 x $1152 = $4608....

Training at our school usually will take most people upto 3 yrs x $1056 = $3168... save $1500 on training fees alone and get a accredited authorised blackbelt by an accredited international examiner 7th Dan

Do the sums it can be way more expensive and what do you get at the end of the day?
