25.01.2022 The very first time we featured Bob Jones and his story, on the front cover of Blitz...the front cover idea, was a Book of Five Rings theme conjured up by Bob himself. It was a radical front cover for any magazine, let alone a martial arts magazine, but that's what it was like back then...we wanted to be different, innovative and get people's attention...and we did...but the content was amazing to boot. This interview with Bob Jones was a first, exploring his journey in the... martial arts, to creating the biggest martial arts organisation Australia had ever seen, with over 1000 schools at the time, spread across the nation. Bob Jones and Zen Do Kai were on everyone’s lips, for all kinds of reasons...I was so honoured to have been part of the history. Silvio Morelli

22.01.2022 If you don't have good role models in your life, find someone who is the best in your chosen field and emulate them.

21.01.2022 Letter to our PM Scott Morrison Hi Friends, I just wanted to help a great friend to all martial arts organisations, Mr Graham Slater, to spread his word...check out Graham's post below.

21.01.2022 An insight into the training approach and mindset of those on the front-line of violence:

18.01.2022 Well what a year 2020 has been...one full of challenges...but as they say What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger...pat yourself on the back...we have pulled together and come through it in fine form... Wishing everyone a great XMas and a prosperous new year and may 2021 be a year of renewal and much success.

17.01.2022 ‘Obstacles do not block the path. They are the path.’ Zen Proverb Most people shy away from challengesno one really wants to be challenged in lifewe all wan...t things to be easybut that’s just not reality. We need to look at challenges in a different lightchallenges are an opportunityan opportunity to learnan opportunity to grow, not only in whatever undertaking we may be facing the challenge in, but also an opportunity to grow as individuals. We never grow from having things easybut we have the opportunity to always grow from adversity and being challengedlean into adversityaccept itdon’t resist itand ask yourself what am I meant to learn from this situation? Challenges in business are one thingchallenges in relationships are another. Tackling business challenges with a positive mindset can bring about breakthroughs, innovations, growth and success. Challenges in relationships are an opportunity for us to practice tolerance, compassion and love which may bring about stronger bondsor not. Every challenging situation is an opportunity for us to growsodon’t shy away but rather gain strength and use the challenge as fuel to power you forward.

16.01.2022 Sometimes, there's more (or less) to the meme than meets the eye.

15.01.2022 Don’t fear failure. Not failure, but low aim, is the crime. In great attempts, it is glorious even to fail. Bruce Lee Are you afraid of failure? If so, you’...re not the only one. Fear of failure prevents many people from taking action, and as a result, reduces their potential success in life. I have to admit, as a young man, I suffered from a fear of failure which manifested in severe procrastination. In my mid-twenties I took the first step in overcoming my fears and made the first investment in myself. I purchased a Self Development program that absolutely changed my life. It cost me a bomb at the time and I just couldn’t afford itI didn’t have the money, but I intuitively knew I had to do it to change my life, so I took out a credit card to pay for the program. Talk about being committedI didn’t realise it at the time but that was an act of courage and commitment by me, and a most powerful one which I benefited from, and still do to this very day. The question is, can anyone really succeed without failing? Failing first, is not a prerequisite for success, but most successful people will tell you that they have failed numerous times, only to get up and try again and eventually achieve their goal. Sometimes the best way to learn is through failure. When you fail, you learn. And when you fail big, you learn big. So be courageous, aim high, aim for excellence and if you fall short of your goal, that’s finetry againthe Universe rewards courage and commitmentbut be sure to understand, the Universe will test your resolve first. My saying is Fear Nothing But Fear Itself.

15.01.2022 A great article or an upsetting one, perhaps, if you hold too tightly to the romanticised notion of 'bushido'

15.01.2022 The much anticipated second edition book release of The Budo Karate of Mas Oyama is finally here, written by Australian Kyokushin legend and super nice guy Cameron Quinn Shihan. I have a copy of the very first edition and I must say it’s one of the classics in my martial arts library. Anyone interested in learning about the traditional arts, especially about one of the true legends, then you need to immediately order this book...you will not be disappointed.... Wishing Cameron Shihan all the very best with this release...much respect...Osu

14.01.2022 The words you speak become the house you live in. Hafiz Words and thoughts are such powerful forcesjust like radio waves which are unseen but are definitel...y there powering all kinds of things like, television reception and communication devices, the words that we utter and thoughts that we dwell on, are even more powerful forces than we could imagine. Every word we speak affects our emotions and physiology, not to mention the powerful attractive force they wield into the universe. It is well documented that scores of people have created peace and prosperity for themselves, or total hell and disease through the words and thoughts they keep repeating and affirming to themselves. If you tell yourself you suck, it’s likely that you will. It is crucial that you choose your words carefully, especially when you’re talking to yourself. Words that can paralyse you and inhibit you from taking action include I can’t, if only, and I should. Replace these negativity inducing words with, positive and affirming words such as I am, I will, I choose to. As the saying goes, What you speak and think about yourself will eventually manifest around you. So, be mindful of the words and thoughts that you utter about yourself.

14.01.2022 Is right now the worst time to buy property? The media would have you believe that right now is the absolute worst time to buy property of any kind. The negativ...ity around the economy, unemployment & Covid19 is enough to make anyone want to hibernate for the next few years and hope to wake up to better days. The fact is, it all depends on your personal situation and mindset. Sure, possibly the worst time to buy is at the peak of a property cycle (historically property cycles last 18.6 years from low to peak). Regardless of when you get into the market, my theory is, always buy to immediately add value. Never buy to just hold, without adding value along the way. This strategy will greatly reduce the risks and maximise the potential for short term profits. If you have a stable income and can save enough money to put a deposit on a property, or you have equity in another property that can be used as a deposit, JUST BUY. Do your research and choose a growth area, buy the right property in the right position that you can add value to by undertaking a renovation, a subdivision (keep one home and build new on the subdivided land), or a totally new development of 2 or more units/townhouses or apartments, to name just 3 strategies. With the right strategy, system and mindset, there is almost never a bad time to buy residential property. I believe that even in the current Covid19 environment, people who are positioned with full incomes, a deposit and the ability to finance an acquisition, are facing one of the best opportunities in our lifetime, to invest in residential property.

12.01.2022 Successful People Have Challenges Too!! It’s not about the cards you’re dealt, but how you play the hand. Quote by Randy Pausch... I have recently been handed an interesting challenge and found the above quote very timely...thought it worth sharing with my friends... It's easy to make excuses and feel like giving upit’s a default most people automatically switch to, when life deals them a challenging hand...but that default doesn’t help us. If we don’t become very aware of this automatic default, we end up languishing in self-pity and inaction. Whenever you catch yourself making excuses, become acutely aware of itwake upknow that you can make a difference to your mental and physical state, which ultimately will bring about change to your outer world. Decide to stop making excusesit is what it isask yourself more important questions like, what can I do to change this?what potential solutions are there to overcome this challenge?...and then take action. Play the hand you are dealttake controlotherwise the world will just keep playing the hand for you.

09.01.2022 The real fingers of death

07.01.2022 Shihan Jan de Jong was one of Australia’s foremost martial arts pioneers who from 1952 taught Jiu Jutsu and Aikido in Perth WA, sadly passing away in 2003. He was highly regarded throughout the world and carried the Australian flag proudly.

07.01.2022 HE WENT OUT FIGHTING One of the most colorful and prominent Kickboxing promoters in Australia and Europe, Tarik Solak’s fight against cancer is now over. Tarik’s passing on the 25th of October, marks the end of an era. ... Tarik was by far the most prolific fight promoter this country has ever seen. With numerous blockbuster events to his name, he put on some of the most spectacular fight shows in Australia and Europe. He was certainly one of the most enigmatic individuals one could ever meet. He was confident, assertive, outspoken and passionate about his sport, you certainly knew where you stood with him. I know he will be sadly missed by his family and friends and I would like to convey my condolences to his family and all those close to him. RIP Tarik. Silvio Morelli

04.01.2022 ‘Don’t give in to your fears. If you do, you won’t be able to talk to your heart.’Paulo Coelho If you are following your heart, you are more than likely on the... right path. There’s an old saying Do what makes your heart sing and you’ll never work a day in your life. You are constantly receiving messages from your heart, your gut and your mind. Listen to your heart and gut when it comes to making decisions about what direction to take. If it feels right, Go with your gutthis is your intuitionyour inner knowing. Your mind, should only be used for assessing, analysing and calculating data to assist you with your decision making. In my mid 20’s when I wanted to pursue my passion, my family wanted me to play it safemy parents didn’t want me to take risksthis came out of both love and fear. Luckily for me, my heart was singing loud and clear and I decided to follow my passionfollow what made my heart sing. I have done this ever since my early 20's and my life has been totally transformed. I have seen much of the world. I have experienced things that I dreamed about in my younger days. I have met amazing people and mentors. I have built amazing businesses and transformed my financial life forever. I have grown in confidence. I have grown in empathy for others and for the world around me. But the greatest rewards I have enjoyed have been the blessings in my life. I have been blessed with an amazing life partner, wife and best friend and I have been blessed with 3 amazing children that keep teaching me much about life and help me to grow as a parent and as a man. I feel truly blessed.
