Keeping it Real with Royce Gracie UFC Champion and Hall of Famer

Wow what a weekend!
Chilling and rolling with Prof Royce Gracie and Prof Luke Beston.
These moments validate my choice to leave Taekwondo competition behind and glad i did
after all Australia is doing terribly with athletes being beaten by unto 10 points or more and many not going past first round unless they got a bye.

Being around such a honest, funny, caring, and successful athlete that belongs to the family that changed the martial arts world forever was life changing. Prof Royce Gracie is one of the small amount of champion that are champion people as well. I have been fortunate to be around a few of these type. Thankyou Prof Royce for the time you gave my family and the intrinsic things you gave to us.

It was such an honour and the start of a wonderful journey in the Jiu Jitsu world. If you ever get the chance don't miss training with Prof Royce.

I knew straight away that the fit and friendship with Luke Beston and Angela Gracie was a good fit and the weekend validated that, so thank you guys onwards and upwards fro all of us.! Oss

IF you hang with those that promise and continually fail to deliver and make poor excuses, it is like treading water with lead weights on your ankles you have to cut the ropes and swim.

Wow today it is

25 yrs...

I worked on the railways for a long time and many old guys had much more service. But it is what i fitted in to those years. Some had 30 yrs but only ever worked in one location and never extended themselves. I did a great deal more in 13 yrs.

In 25 yrs of Taekwondo  and Martial Arts i have achieved a bit;
7th Dan unbroken true service to WTF training teaching coaching mentoring
A blackbelt in Kyusho Jitsu
Blackbelt level in MMA Combat style
Olympic Selector
Australian Champion NSW and VIC too
Coach to many champions, International Medallists.
4 times to Korea
Australian Youth Olympic Festival Head of Team, Manager, Media Liaison to AOC
NSW Sports Director, Australian Chair Sport Board
NSW Coach
PostGradDipAppSc SPort Coach
Grading over 150 Blackbelts
Trained with International icons and Olympians
Taught since 1990
Blackbelt since 1987, were you born then ???
Some say i was teaching when some hobby instructors were still in nappies how funny
Too much to write about you will have to read about it in my book due out soon. Then i can add author.

It is the quality not just teaching out of a school or community hall without growth

My biggest achievement may be getting Royce Gracie Jiu Jitsu Blackbelt one day, what an honour it would be

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

Regards Master Robert.
