Hi Guys,

A few weeks ago i performed on Channel 7s X Factor along with Young Men Society. Here is a link to the performance.

As you can see, we are the guys in the ninja outfit kicking and flipping throughout the Performance. Gericho Hills from the Australian Martial Arts Academy also performed with me during this Show. This was a fun performance and it definitely reminded of our experience on Australias Got Talent. Live TV is always fun.

During this time we also had the 2011 ISKA World Cup Martial Arts Championships. It is held every 3 years and ran over 3 days. There were over 1000 competitors. This was a successful weekend for me personally and my students from the Australian Martial Arts Academy. I managed to walk away with the Grand Championships for the Creative Breaking Category.

Here is a video of our Teams Performance During the Team Showmanship Event.

It was a tiring yet fulfilling weekend both competing and coaching but i would like to Congratulate our members and all Competitors throughout the Tournament.

A Few days ago i was in Brisbane instructing a Seminar at Red Dragon Martial Arts. I am proud to announce that my Extreme Martial Arts Seminars have taken off. This Seminar was great in that the Centre was welcoming and the students were really eager in absorbing any bit of information i had to offer. I would like to thank Sifu Brett Fenton for inviting me out to the school. And i would also like to thank to students who Purchased my Instructional DVDs and had Private Lessons with me. I had a blast!

I am looking forward to finishing the year off strong with my training. Time to look back on the year and evaluate whether my personal goals were achieved. Review how things went and start planning for a bigger and better year next year!

I would like to thank the Academy for hosting the event and for everyone who showed up in support. DVD sales have been great and i hope everyone who has bought the DVD’s are enjoying them.  If you are interested in purchasing the series please visit the Instructional DVD Page on the site.

In Accordance with the release of my Intructional DVD Series i have created an Extreme Martial Arts Seminar Program. So far it has been a great success and i am looking forward to the Seminars booked in till the end of the year.

“The art of Taekwondo has many facets and is included in many events and sports. One of these is Extreme Martial Arts. Many instructors have already incorporated XMA in their taekwondo program.

In 2010 Hakan Manav achieved the title of world champion of XMA who conducts his training and school from a Taekwondo base. Not only has Hakan excelled at this multi discipline art but has also been a pioneer in showing how Taekwondo instructors can extend the range of their classes whilst maintaining a Taekwondo base.

I congratulate Hakan for his achievement which is also credited to Australia.”

Furthermore, Our Performance team, The X-Treme Karate Kidz have been very busy performing at all types of events. We were Fortunate enough to be invited to Canberra to perform at the Opening Ceremony of the Taekwondo Australia National Championships. This was a fun event and was great to Stay at the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS).

During the first week of the school holidays we did a 5 day run of Performances at Centro Roselands. It was from Monday-Friday and we performed 2 shows a day. The turnout from the audience was great averaging about 300 people per show. Feedback from Centro was also very positive.

We also Performed at the Hornsby Shire Festival, Auburn Botanical Gardens and a couple of Private Functions.

During this time, i also did a photo shoot for The One magazine which will be released in the near future. Their website is www.theonemagazine.com.au
