3 Reasons Why You Should Learn To Fight.

I seriously think every person should fight in some form or style. Whether its boxing, armour fighting (Awesome by the way), jiu jitsu, or taekwondo.

Get in there, train hard and pay your dues.

Do You Agree?

What You Don't Know About Taekwondo!

Tae (Fist) Kwon (Foot) Do (Way Of)

Taekwondo - The Way of The Fist and Foot

General Choi Hong-Hi who was born in Korea, was the founder of Taekwondo. It was believed that he taught martial arts to the soldiers assigned to him from 1946. He named Taekwondo. Taekwondo comes from the Korean word "Tae" which means foot, "Kwon" meaning fist and "Do" meaning way of. So, literally, Taekwondo means "the way of the foot and fist". He promoted Taekwondo as the Korean Martial Art of Self-Defense.

Flashback to last years grading when I first took over!

Wow you have all come SO FAR. It is truly amazing to see.

This next grading is December 1st.

2 pm Qld Time!

Grading is a time when you do your best, show how much training you have been doing AND you get to see how all the other classes have been training.

This grading will be a really good one.

Don't want to give anything away.

Train hard and be better then you were last grading.

That is what it is all about.

Looking forward to this one. You will all be notified next lesson if you are ready for your next belt.

Very important you show up this week.

"I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times."

I am a blackbelt and still don't know all those fancy tornadokicks and spinning jump hook kicks.

Why?

Grandmaster Steven Cheah still has improvement points for my turning kick almost every week.

Lets master the basics team.

See you at training!

3 simple things that not many people do but will change the quality of your life from tired and bored to unshakeable confidence.
------
1. Commitment.

It doesn't matter if its taekwondo, or you don't like my ads and choose ballet around the corner.

Commit to something. Anything.

Even if you get bored of it.

I was bored of taekwondo for an entire year. But I stayed. Now I am forever grateful I pushed through and built character and perseverance.
------
2. Consistency.

Making a minimum sessions you will attend every week.

And then strive to do 1 more then that EVERY week.

So when life gets busy and you can't make a session... then you make your minimum and you still feel strong.

You still have integrity and feel good about yourself.
------
3. Compete with yourself, not with others.

It is so easy to say to ourselves. Oh I am training harder then him or her. I am better then the rest. This leads to complacency. Because now you don't have that edge to get EVEN BETTER.

Or compare yourself to someone who has been training much longer. This leads to negative self-talk. Or a resentment attitude.

The sweet spot lies in competing with yourself.

Are you better then you were last week?

If the answer is not yes, then why not?

What do you have to do to continually grow better and stronger. No matter what everyone else is doing.
-----
See you in the dojo!

Happy Training!

Why practice martial arts patterns?

I used to think they were the pointless and boring part of martial arts.

Only now I realise the THREE KEY WAYS they have improved my WHOLE life.

1. If done correctly they actually build your posture. Posture is scientifically proven to boost your confidence, happiness and overall energy levels. I have definitely felt this impact!

2. It is a form of meditation. Mediation is scientifically proven to calm your mind, decrease stress in your life, AND improve overall energy levels. If you focus all your mind on the body, the movement, and the timings you will get lost in flow and meditation. Boosting your brain and life.

3. All the really good martial artists like Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan and Chuck Norris practiced patterns. This personally makes me feel great because I am doing something they do. HAHA call it placebo but it works for me.

See you Next session!
