Great class to finish the year. Everyone was asked to name two new things they had learnt this year. Interesting they were all different. Each one a step in the journey of a 1000 miles

In a one hour class last night we covered concepts from Karate, Tae-kwon-Do, BJJ, Muay Thai, Boxing and Exercise Physiology( Plyometrics and Muscle Shortening Reflex).

Zen Do Kai - the best of EVERYTHING is progression.

Great night working street defence and pressure testing using the attackers momentum. Amazing how many ‘myths’ are broken when momentum comes into it…

Always learning. Looking at the detail within the opening move of forms. The teachings in forms literally start from the initial break.

Interesting night taking moves out of forms and translating into security work concepts/defences. Always learning and evolving.

The purpose of education is not to FILL the mind but to OPEN it.

Come along and discover something new.

🙏 FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 🇦🇺

Richard Dimitri and Pamela Armitage

💥 MASTERCLASS 💥

A four (4) day intensive course on Trauma Informed Violence Prevention and Real and Applied Self-Defence.

This international workshop has been attended by some of the worlds leading self defence experts and described as nothing short of “MIND BLOWING”.

People that follow Richard on his social media Rich Dimitri's Self Defense Services often refer to his posts and content as the “lightbulb moment they didn't even know they needed”.

Imagine 32+ hours of information provided from this masterclass event.

This masterclass will be held in March 2023, in Albury NSW. Dates to be confirmed.

Albury is 3 hours from Melbourne, 4 hours from Canberra and 6 hours from Sydney, and a quick flight from any other capital city.

The cost is $4000 CAD per person (approx $4400 Aud). Those that attended the Masterclass in Canada and the UK all stated they would’ve happily paid double the price for the overload of information received.

There is a maximum of 10 places available.

We will look to book the function room at a local resort, so guests can stay on site and enjoy the pool and spa facilities.

There will also potentially be a shredder, and or foundations of violence workshop attached.

At this stage we are looking at hiding the event from Friday to Monday (to minimise time off work for everyone), with bonus additional seminars available during the following week.

Refundable deposits ($1000) are being taken to secure your place in this world leading violence prevention event.

Once the dates are locked in, I will contact you to check suitability and if you commit to attending, the payments will become transferable (not refundable).

Last night, amongst many things, we discussed how you can train the brain to be more aware of your environment and threats.

Here's an article on what I call the Red Volkswagen filter and how you can train it to be more aware

Ever heard of the Reticular Activation System (RAS) ? Before you start making cuckoo sounds the Reticular Activation System is basically...

Great quote. A lot of martial arts is about being able to assess the situation and respond appropriately rather than just being able to fight.
