22.01.2022 What do you do to self-sooth when you are stressed? Do you pick up a drink? Do you find yourself in front of the cupboard tucking into a whole packet of dark ...chocolate McVities Digestives (for the Brits reading this ). . Or do you find yourself calling someone who is able to be with you in your stress without being pulled into your drama? Do you turn on some soothing music and take a bath and know that this too shall pass? Do you go for a walk in the garden and let nature be your healer? . As we saw in Monday’s post, your BODY has a physical response to stress, so part of our work with stress is to regulate our BODY and our mind. What calms your mind? What calming experiences can you give your body? . For me being in nature helps to regulate my body. Bringing myself into the now while I am walking, stopping to look at the flowers and the view helps to calm my mind. I lovingly bring my mind back into the now when it drifts off. . What is it for you that you know helps to regulate your mind AND body? . . . . . #coronavirus #stress #selfsooth #stress #regulation #womenempower #trueself #innerjourney #awaken #goldenwomancentre #wisdomteachings #womenscommunity #selflove #hopeandhealing #bethechange See more

17.01.2022 It is with heavy heart that I have decided to suspend all Esprit classes effective immediately. I have been reviewing this daily and with NSW in imminent lockdown possibly from Tuesday that has clarified the decision for me. I will be guided by the NSW government as to how long this should stay in place and naturally all fees will be suspended during this time as well.... The times for all of us are surrounded by much uncertainty and fear and what is important at the moment is to abide by any guidance we are given in order to stay safe. I love teaching martial arts and my first priority is to ensure my students remain safe and healthy. Keep your fitness up in the best way you can and let me know of any lessons / training you would like me to post. Stay safe and I hope to see everyone again in the dojo in the foreseeable future.

16.01.2022 Lach and I want to thank our students for the opportunity to have been able to teach all of you. It has been a pleasure and joy and we enjoyed every moment on the mats. 2020 has been tumultuous and it’s still going! It was a very difficult decision to close our doors and this was not something I envisaged would ever happen. We wish you the best on your journey and if we have somehow made a small difference then we are thankful. Deb... Photo credit : Jan Tinneberg for sharing their work on Unsplash.

12.01.2022 Go team! I’ll be posting some workouts later today!! This is your core fitness challenge today

12.01.2022 Too many people blame others when things do not go their way. This is a negative way of thinking. True role models do not avoid problems. They accept responsibi...lity, handle a situation as best possible, and move forward. This can include, but not limited to: Looking out for family and friends Taking care of more junior students in class Thinking clearly and doing what is right (and not succumbing to peer pressure) Take ownership of who you are and every action you take Understanding your behaviour is on you, both the good and the bad. Hopefully, it will be all good behaviour. This does not mean that everything will be perfect. But, if you remain optimistic, yet realistic that situations will become better, they often will. This now becomes your new reality. This is a great example to set for your children, family, friends and co-workers on the benefits of accepting responsibility. #buildabetteryou #martialarts #selfdefence #fitness #blackbelt #jujitsu #family #children #community #balmain #northsydney #chatswood #sydney #covid #covid19 #staysafe #stayhealthy #stayactive #staypositive

08.01.2022 Happy Sunday everyone! Have a great day and a great next week!!

07.01.2022 To say I have been deeply disturbed by what has happened in the USA is an understatement, as part of me cannot understand how this could still be happening in 2020, but I’ve come to realize that’s also part of the problem. We are taught that to have a racial view is biased however we are not taught to examine or see that in ourselves. I’m taking the time to look at where white privilege exists in me and start to heal what I don’t see and what I’m not aware of because of how society and socialization has hidden it from my view. Learning and educating myself is part of the process. Healing it with love and compassion is also part of the process. Another book I would add to the post below is White Fragility. Your voice matters so lead with love and humility as we face this together.

07.01.2022 The essence of martial arts!

07.01.2022 A massive thank you to our virtual students this week. You are all warriors. There were 165 live streamed attendees this week, including breaking the half cen...tury of attendees again this afternoon. There were many more with the online classes. Well done to those who completed their homework on the technique and philosophical lessons. A hearty to the awesome teachers this week, incl Jess, Dylan, Scotty, Liam, Sang, Anthony, Lachie and Julia. Your guidance means so much to the students. Lastly but not leastly, thank you to Andy Sensei, Rob and Corinne for allowing me to join your respective live streamed classes. It was fun, educational, tiring fitness wise, but very much appreciated, as we are one community. They are great classes for anybody who wants to join. Whether you can currently join us or not, we hope everyone is staying safe, happy and healthy during this crazy #COVID period. We cannot wait to re-connect live once restrictions are eased #buildabetteryou #martialarts #selfdefence #fitness #blackbelt #jujitsu #family #children #community #balmain #northsydney #chatswood #sydney #mma #covid19 #staysafe #stayhealthy #stayactive #staypositive @ Quantum Martial Arts

02.01.2022 Looking good Quantum Martial Arts

02.01.2022 Big shout out to all the women in Esprit!!

02.01.2022 In #martialarts, we provide assurance that anyone can attain a #BlackBelt, or any other goal. This is irrespective of age, health considerations or any other hu...rdles. The only thing required of you is to make a 100% commitment to the process and to fully embrace the challenge. This includes not only the challenges inside the dojo, but also the challenges outside the dojo. We all have #family commitments, school, work, extracurricular activities, etc etc. However, if you really want to achieve your goals, you must find a way to adapt to any challenge and overcome. One of our favourite sayings is "A Black Belt is a white belt who never gave up". I have never known a Black Belt to have an easy path to that goal. There is always some hurdle/s that get in the way. But having a Black Belt attitude helps you push through anyway. The world makes way for the determined person. The determined person embraces any challenge to "build a better you". Use martial arts as a canvas for the rest of your life. If you can embrace and ultimately achieve your martial arts challenges, you can apply the same effort to all challenges in life. Be a Black Belt in every area of your life! #buildabetteryou #selfdefence #fitness #jujitsu #family #children #community #balmain #northsydney #chatswood #sydney

01.01.2022 Our trainers are there to help your child be the best they can be. We help your child develop confidence to handle any situation. Interested? Free Trial Lesson. To learn more www.espritmartialarts.com.au #marrickville #espritma
