Hey,

I would like start by congratulating my Father who established the Australian Martial Arts Academy 30 years ago…back in February 1982. Today, in 2012 we are going strong, bigger and better then ever before. We have great staff, students, parents and everybody involved in making the place a great family friendly community. I have been fortunate enough to be a part of the academy for over 20 years and experience the transformation into what is it today! Below is a short trailer  looking back at the past 30 years.

A couple of weeks ago, we did our second shoot for Channel 7’s Saturday Disney, at the Australian Martial Arts Academy. It was a fun shoot and the episode will be airing in a few weeks. The topic covered on the episode is on Taekwondo and the host takes a comedic approach to the shoot. I look forward to the final product.

Below is our first shoot for the Show.

Earlier in the Year i was Fortunate enough to be awarded the EFC Black Belt Schools 2011 Most Inspiring Instructor Award. It was a great honour to receive this award from such a reputable organisation.

With regards to the X-Treme Karate Kidz, Our team training has been going really well and individual progress amongst the team has been great. A few weeks earlier, we were invited to Perform at the National Multicultural Festival in Canbeera, which was covered by the SBS network. This was a great event to perform at and the crowd was really supportive. We look forward to our shows booked in for the rest of the year.

Furthermore, my School Sports Martial Arts program is continuing this year with another school, St Michael’s Primary School Jumping on board. This is a great program which incorporates Martial arts into their weekly curriculum. Haberfield Public school has been on board Since 2007.

Looking ahead, we have some more Performances and Seminars booked in at Martial Arts Schools which i am really excited about. Also on the 17th of March i will be running an XMA Seminar along with some UFC Fighters at the Martial Arts Professionals Master Minds Seminar. Check out the link below for more information.
