Hi guys,

I hope you’ve all had a wonderful start to the year. It has been an eventful start for me with many great experiences and memories.

Over the past weekend, the senior staff from AMA were in Melbourne for the Annual Educational Funding Company (EFC) Summit. It was a fantastic event with our Academy being awarded the Global Top Single Martial Arts School Award, including 750+ plus with the organisation. A wonderful achievement by our team for which we are extremely grateful for and continue to strive to provide the best Martial Arts Service to our members!

 

My Seminar Program and Instructor Development Workshops having continued on successfully from 2015. I have just finished a set of seminars at Fusion Martial Arts in Melbourne, Evolution Taekwondo in Melbourne, Ultimate Martial Arts in Melbourne and Black Belt Professionals in Sydney. One of the things i enjoy the most is sharing my knowledge with different instructors, school owners and students from all over. This is fun, challenging and definitely helps me grow and expand my teaching and communication skills.

At the Academy we have had a great start the year with over 110 classes on offer per week. We have introduced a program backed by popular demand known as the mini dragons program, targeted to kids aged 18-36 months. Such a cute group of kids transforming into martial artists 🙂 i started my martial arts journey at the same age.

We were also invited to perform for the Chinese New year celebrations. We did a number of performances in different locations. Our Junior X-Treme Team had an awesome time with these shows including performing at Market City Shopping Centre for 2 full consecutive weekends. Always an enlighteting experience taking in the cultures and traditions of different nations.

I am currently in Bali taking time off and enjoying some surfing, relaxing and rejuvenating! Until Next time.
