Hey guys,

The past few months have been amazing for me. Every day i am grateful to be in a position to do what i love to do, grow personally and professionally in order to impact the lives of whom i interact with. Here is some of the latest.

Recenty we were invited to appear on the Today Show on Channel 9. We shared invaluable bully busting techniques, critical womens self defences moves, did some performances and showcased our extreme cute mini dragons. Check it out!

One of the all time greats, UFC Legend and Hall of Famer Royce Gracie was in Sydney Conducting a 2 hour BJJ/Self Defence Seminar.  Thoroughly enjoyed it and learnt a lot! FYI, He’s still got full split in all directions which is quite inspiring!

2017 also marked the 35 Year Anniversary of the Australian Martial Arts Academy, founded by father Ridvan Manav in 1982.
