Titles

In taekwondo at 1st degree your a blackbelt

At 2nd degree your a blackbelt
At 3rd degree your known as a assistant instructor
At 4th degree your known as a instructor
At 5th degree your known as a Master
At 6th degree your known as a Master
At 7th degree your known as a Master
At 8th degree your known as a Grandmaster.
At 9th degree your known as a Grandmaster.

As the titles made by time and determined from Korea. The way you present yourself with morals, ethical, and as a role model determine how much integrity you will have while you live your life in these levels. There are minimum times and age constraints within these levels.

My training actions determine if I am a Master. My continued learning helps me become better for my students. On to blackbelt journey number 4

Merry xmas everyone a huge 2012

Want to train with the best then join FiveStar Martial Arts, we all know the 5 stars is the maximum benchmark for quality.

Regards Master Robert.

Ps I look forward to the day of becoming a Professor of Gracie Jiu jitsu because a Gracie decided I was worthy. :)

Gracie Jiu jitsu

I am pleased and honored to announce that our martial arts family has joined the Gracie family. Professor Beston is my new Jiu jitsu teacher with Professor Royce Gracie is our master examiner for Gracie Jiu jitsu. Professor Royce Gracie of the UFC Hall of Fame and multiple UFC winner will be making frequent visits to our school for Jiu jitsu seminars and gradings.

Professor Royce Gracie will be visiting in Feb 2012.

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!
