Hey guys,
The last few months have been jam packed with travelling, teaching, training, seminars and workshops! Lets get right into it.
I had a wonderful time during my one month stay in Turkey. I had the pleasure of spending time with my immediate family, visited some fascinating historical sites, relaxed at some of the most breathtaking beaches and met some great people in the Martial Arts Industry. Here are a couple of pictures.

I had the pleasure of visiting three new Martial Arts Schools who have jumped on my Extreme Kicks Seminar program. A huge thanks to Evolution Martial Arts and Fusion Martial Arts, from Melbourne and Infinite Taekwondo Academy from Sydney for coming on board. The students brought such positivity and excitement to the sessions. I love visiting new locations for the pure reason of interacting with all different type of Martial Artists from different backgrounds. I look forward to visiting in again in a couple of months time.
During this time we received an invitation from to The Association of Superannuation Funds of Australia (ASFA) to run a Corporate Martial Arts & Team Building Workshop at their workplace. It was a fantastic session including Flexibility and Movement in the Workplace, Self Defence, Changing our Physical & Mental State, Kicking & Punching Drills and Overcoming Setbacks and Challenges with our Board Breaking exercise!
Operations at the Australian Martial Arts Academy have been going from strength to strength. With over 110 classes offered a week, the team of instructors are now inspiring more students then ever! We are also now in 6 weekly Extra Curricular School Sports Sessions. A Huge Congratulations for our staff for continually improving and progressing in their programs.
Below is a compilation of my training clips over the last few months. Enjoy
And Also, one of the other forms of exercise, recovery and the perfect remedy for the soul. Surfing!
Until Next time,
Hakan
