25.01.2022 Some old students of Freestylers Dojo, Kevin and Brenden dropped in during class to say hi!

23.01.2022 Hi everyone, apologies to all as no classes this week at Mirani for Freestylers. Rick

19.01.2022 AND IT BEGINS!!!! Freestylers Dojo will be competing in the NAS martial arts competition this year! Beginners, intermediates and advanced students are competing and I will finally be competing again this year as well! If competing in martial arts tournaments is something you would like to try, I highly recommend it! There is always a great atmosphere and it is very exciting to be a competitor. "Anyone can do it!" The biggest battle is always with-in ourselves!!

19.01.2022 Dynamic and unpredictable; And timing used to perfection on the predictable. Many principles expressed in this clip. Can you see any?

16.01.2022 SENIOR CLASSES EXTENDED!!! From next week we are extending the senior classes by 30 minutes so classes will now run from 6.00 pm to 7.30 pm. The extra time will allow us to develop our stretching program at the end of the class and fitness training during class. ... See you all next week!! Rick

16.01.2022 Hi everyone, For the last two years I have been facing many new challenges with my health as I had been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. A debilitating auto-immune disease. But, I have been able to manage this slowly and I am now finally back to a point where I can start running self-defence and martial art classes again.... I am currently awaiting re-accreditation in the coming weeks, and will be posting details on when classes will be starting again. I will begin classes again in Mirani and soon after hopefully, running just a few self-defence and martial art classes in Mackay. In relation to private classes, I will be available @ $40.00/hr at the private dojo at Pinnacle, or $50.00/hr if you would like for me to come to you. I hope all are well and I can't wait to get back to classes!!! Kindest Regards, Rick Lewis

15.01.2022 Hi all, I have pulled several muscles in my back this morning and will be unavailable for classes today. Hope to be ok by Thursday. Have a great night off!! Rick

12.01.2022 Self Defence Classes starts NEXT WEEK at Mirani High School Hall. Freestylers Dojo is now offering two, half-hour self-defence classes every Monday starting from the 20/08/2018. The first from 5.00 pm to 5.30 pm, and the second from 5.40 pm - 6.10 pm. The self-defence focuses on "hands-on"evasion and escape; shows you how to best generate and use what strength we have; and explains how to best navigate different, threatening situations. You can "opt out" on techniques that ...you may have physical issues with or we can try to modify the technique to suit. Self-defence is for all ages. There will always be a repeat of the core of basic techniques in every class, so you will always learn the main stuff and there is no "missing out" or "catching up" if you don't come for a while. This means you don't have to come every week and just do it often enough to keep it sharp. I highly recommend doing it with a friend, daughter, or mother so you can practice at home! (Or, if you are a student of Freestylers, it is another opportunity to develope insights and practice applications to the techniques). The cost per session is $10.00 and you are required to have a completed Waiver Form before commencement of class. Please contact Freestylers for an updated version. Bring it with you to training and if you have any physical concerns, please seek doctors approval first. The only gear or requirements for a self-defence class is a towel to keep our hands and arms dry. For further information, please contact Rick at Freestylers Dojo via email: [email protected], Facebook, text, or phone: 0499 829 236.

12.01.2022 Hi everyone! Martial art classes have started again at Mirani High School Hall. Classes: Tuesday and Thursdays Juniors: 5.00 pm - 6.00 pm Seniors: 6.00 pm -7.00 pm ... We had our first class last night and it is great to be back! This year our club will be re-entering back into the National All-Styles Tournament circuit so there will lots of intense training in the coming year!! If you are interested in participating or coming down to watch us fight, please let me know. There are non-contact and contact divisions for all ages and skill levels so it will be heaps of fun competing, challenging ourselves and meeting students from other clubs from all over Queensland! The martial arts community grows ever year in Australia and it is a great group to be connected to! AND, on bigger news, Freestylers Dojo is also currently looking for a place to start up training in Mackay again!! I am hoping to be up and running around March so if anyone could advise me on any possible places that you think might be good, please feel free to send me a message. Take care all!

11.01.2022 Hi all We are back!! Classes are starting again this week at Mirani. WE START TOMORROW NIGHT!!!!! And I am at 100%!! Our new dojo will be the new Mirani High School Hall!! OSS!!... For the moment I will just be running classes from Mirani or private classes at my own dojo. Cost of classes are still the same, $10.00 per student/per class at Mirani and once we are fully up and running I will look into term/monthly payments for those who have be requesting for this more convenient way, instead of finding that 10 dollar note every time. Unfortunately, I will no longer be able to offer a cheaper rate for the second or third sibling so it will just be $10.00 now for all students. Classes will now be later to allow the school time to close for the day and ensure that no mishaps occur during the busy period after 3.00 pm. This will also give the juniors time to go home and rest before heading to class. I am hoping this will improve the focus and energy levels of the students. So classes will now be: Tuesdays - Juniors 5.00 pm - 6.00 pm Seniors 6.00 pm - 7.00 pm Thursdays - Juniors 5.00 pm - 6.00 pm Seniors 6.00 pm - 7.00 pm We will now be doing two classes a week at Mirani! This is a real bonus to those who really what to make martial arts their sport. In time, I will also be running and extra 1/2 hour class after standard training for those who want to enter the martial art tournaments across Queensland and Australia (not MMA). Or those training for their BLACK BELT!!! That's Right... In relation to new developments in safety in our sport,we are now using a new Head Guard (see bottom of post). Freestylers will be making it compulsory to wear this head guard, and an appropriate mouth guard for any close-range step-sparring or sparring (light touch contact). (Only 100% covered face shield allowed, no partial head gear allowed) They are absolutely excellent and I fully endorse the use of these head guards! They will prevent so much risk to injury where it matters, our face . They are not essential for the basic training, but at some point all students require their own helmet (hygiene reasons) if they are to engage in any form of sparing, which is essential for it's teaching. They are $96.80 from SMAI (internet) but I can get them for @ $78.00. A lot cheaper than a broken nose! Please call for any further inquiry and I hope to see you all soon. NOTE : Please read the codes of conduct attached and complete a new formal waiver and bring to your first class. Kindest Regards, Rick Lewis FREESTYLERS DOJO Mobile: 0499 829 236 Mail: PO BOX 58 Gargett 4741

09.01.2022 Hi Everyone, Due to the new requests from the Australian Government around personal distancing, all classes of Freestylers Dojo are postponed til further notice. I imagine that classes will not return until the pandemic has been resolved in Australia. Please keep a look out for future posts and updates from Freestylers Dojo Defence, is always the best way.... Take care all, Rick

07.01.2022 Classes cancelled for today due to bush-fires. Please be mindful, aware and stay safe

05.01.2022 Hey everyone, Can everyone hold off on their chest guard orders... Both seem to have advantages and disadvantages so we will really need to check them out first before ordering a bunch. I have just ordered one of each of the chest guards and should have them in a couple of weeks to give them a good road test!!

BoxKickFit: Mondays 6.00 pm Freestylers Dojo Classes: Tuesdays and Thursdays at 5.00- 6.00 pm for juniors, 6.00 - 7.00 pm for seniors.

04.01.2022 Hi Everyone, Classes are on over the holidays and we will be training at the high school hall as usual. Hope to see you all there!! Rick

04.01.2022 Watch the awesome heel rotation on the shin kicks and the immediacy of the front kicks - the body follows the foot. Also, how they return to guard as soon as the technique is completed and poise, waiting for the next opportunity to initiate or counter. So many principles to observe...

02.01.2022 Hi everyone! Remember: "A freestyle fighters main focus is how to defend and escape, not to stand there and slug it out" Tonight's training will be focus on evasion techniques from hand and leg attacks. Please be sure to bring your leg and hand guards, and helmet if you already have one. See you all tonight!... Rick See more

01.01.2022 Hi all, Classes are cancelled today due to the heatwave. Keep shaded and hydrated!!! Thanks
