🚨 COMMUNITY SAFETY NOTICE 🚨

Today at 2:00pm (AEST), a nationwide AusAlert test will be sent to most compatible mobile phones across Australia.

Your phone will:
• Sound a loud emergency alert for around 10 seconds
• Vibrate and display a TEST MESSAGE
• Sound even if it's on silent or Do Not Disturb

If you know someone who may be living in a domestic or family violence situation and who may have a hidden or emergency phone for their safety, please consider letting them know discreetly and safely.

A hidden phone should be switched off or placed in airplane mode before the test to avoid the alert sounding.

Please share this information if it could help keep someone safe.

Have a great day, everyone. 🙏

🔥 PAD HOLDER'S COURSE AT KAIZEN! 🔥

Today exceeded all expectations.
We had 30 people on the mats, travelling from Benalla, Cobram, Horsham, Melbourne, Echuca and everywhere in between to take part in our Pad Holder's Course at Kaizen Dojo Shepparton.
One of the key messages from the day was that holding pads is an art in itself. Great pad holders don't just stand there and absorb strikes, they develop timing, positioning, communication, safety awareness and the ability to bring the best out of their training partner. Investing time into improving your pad holding skills is one of the fastest ways to improve both your own training and the training of those around you.
The goal was simple, improve the quality of padwork across our clubs and give students a better understanding of what it takes to become an effective pad holder. In two hours we only just scratched the surface and didn't even get through all of the fundamentals we had planned. The enthusiasm, engagement and willingness to learn from everyone in attendance was outstanding.
The biggest compliment of the day?
"When are you running this again?"
The answer is... we're already looking at August!👊
A huge thank you to everyone who attended, supported their training partners, asked questions and helped make the day such a success. The quality of Muay Thai, Krav Maga, Martial Arts ans MMA training starts with great coaching and great pad holding, and today was a massive step forward.
A special thank you to Coach Mick Clark for sharing over 40 years of martial arts knowledge and experience with the BJMA community.
August course details coming soon...

👊KRAV MAGA TODAY @ KAIZEN DOJOS💥
Most people will never step into a ring.
But anyone could find themselves facing a real-world threat.
Today's Krav Maga class focused on weapon-based self-defence, covering practical principles and techniques designed to help you understand and respond to high-stress situations involving armed attackers.
This isn't about fancy moves or looking tough.
It's about awareness, decision-making, controlling fear, creating opportunities to escape, and developing skills that could one day make a difference when it matters most.
Train with purpose. Train realistically. Train for the world outside the dojo.
✅ Improve confidence under pressure
✅ Learn practical self-protection principles
✅ Develop awareness and threat recognition
✅ Suitable for beginners and experienced martial artists alike.

📍 Kaizen Dojos – Shepparton

You don't rise to the occasion, you fall back on your training. See you on the mats.
