25.01.2022 It's been a challenging six months.....smoked out by the 2019/20 fires, flooded by the 2020 January storm and a three month shut down by the C-19 restrictions. However in every challenge there is opportunity, opportunity to learn, opportunity to grow and think differently, opportunity to physically push and mentally stretch yourself, opportunity to commit yourself in ways that test you far outside your percieved comfort zone. No matter what the challenge, never settle for presentable excuses, find the reason to propel yourself and embrace the journey.....it will always be there!

13.01.2022 Fear not the associated outcomes of challenges, fear only never having taken on the pursuit in the first place!

12.01.2022 How strong is your mental/physical connection to your goal....How do we make it, when do we get there? The answer is simple.......BUT it will never be easy!

10.01.2022 Due to last nights storm, the Dojang and neighbouring units received a little watering, somewhat flooded. Unfortunately I will not have the Dojang ready for return of classes today (Tuesday) and possibly tomorrow (Wednesday).

10.01.2022 Color belt and Black Belt testing through Covid restrictions absolutely on fire! No mater what the challenges, embrace the conditions stay within the parameters and work your butt off!

10.01.2022 When your Back is against the wall! Overcome the fear and step forward, engage in your courage and step forward, these small steps forward will turn into strides as those strides become your discipline, your discipline will form habits.

09.01.2022 In challenging times there are many issues we have no control over, but there are many you can control: First and foremost- your thoughts and thought patterns Second - your effort, your focus and your intensity Assignment should you accept it.......... Keep the control list going?

09.01.2022 With the Dojang now dry, mats are starting to be laid back down (they won't be all down in time for classes today (Wednesday) at this point I will keep the Dojang closed today (Wednesday) and tomorrow Thursday with the forecast of 40+. Holiday training will start next Tuesday 28th.

07.01.2022 Remember: our greatest asset is our mind, our grestest power is the power to breathe, our greatest ability is the ability to make a choice! When we are faced with Adversity - you can see it as a problem and ask "why me"? Or You can take it as a challenge and say "try me"!... The human brain has been wired to protect us, it will automatically look for that safe comfort zone, a zone of protection and subconsciously send us there. In times of crisis we have two options: 1. Follow your subconcious automation with the "why me" mindset Or 2: Create a core desire, push yourself and use your greatest ability and state "try me" In times of crisis we keep going, we take it on strategicaly, we take it on methodically, but not egotisticaly, remember the two values you can control are your thoughts and your effort! At present, We are restricted but not bound, so lets sit up (crunches- core deisre burn) take notice and push ourselves (push-ups) a little differently strategicaly & methodically.
