25.01.2022 All classes are full at this stage, thank you to everyone for your support. If you would like to be put on the waiting list, please contact me and I will get your details. First Senior class starts up on Monday, looking forward to seeing you all there!

25.01.2022 Thank you to everyone who has called and messaged with support. I am working on a couple of plans, but will let each of you know individually what we are going to do over the next couple of days. I switched my phone off yesterday as I was inundated with messages of support and a million questions, and will do my best to get back to you all soon. As for masks, please ensure you wear them to and from the gym. The cops were out checking this morning at some local gyms (lights o...n and everything ) and they are serious. Senior Muaythai students must wait until you are invited into the gym before class, so please hang around outside, with your mask on; I would hate to see any of you fined. As soon as we get into the building, we are straight into training, so you do not need to wear one while in the gym. As soon as we finish, you need to pack your stuff, and leave the gym immediately. If you want to hang around for a chat like we normally do, it must be outside with masks on. Unfortunately this is our reality at the moment, and as I said before, the cops are right onto it.

24.01.2022 *** Update *** Still no positive news regarding opening up the gym again. It looks as though the start of November indoor, non-contact sports are ok, but how that will apply to martial Arts I am not sure. I am going ahead with the morning boot camp sessions, and when the group is full, I will be opening up an evening one. Please contact me ASAP to secure a spot, starting Monday 26th October.

23.01.2022 We’re back tonight for Juniors at 5pm, Seniors at 6pm! Looking forward to catching up with you all. Classes are completely booked, so if you need to cancel your booking, please let me know ASAP so I can start getting through the waiting list.

20.01.2022 Slowly setting up the new addition to the gym; squat rack, weights and more . #muaythai #ajarnmat #thaiboxing #gvmuaythai #gvmartialarts #squatrack #fitness #strengthandconditioning @ Goulburn Valley Martial Arts

20.01.2022 Looking forward to seeing all the seniors tomorrow! It will be very hot, so make sure you stay really hydrated during the day, and being plenty of water with you to training. We won’t be training flat out due to it being our first session back, and being warm, but we are still training See all you legends tomorrow!

20.01.2022 If you have a this, you are very, very lucky #muaythai #thaiboxing #gvmuaythai #gvmartialarts #ajarnmat

20.01.2022 Looking forward to some restrictions being eased at the gym tomorrow, particularly contact training and up to 20 in a class! Don’t forget we are running a 4 week beginner program for both kids and adults, and only have a couple more spots left!

19.01.2022 See you all tomorrow morning! Try and get there a bit earlier in case you can't find the place. Easiest way is to park on Archer St at the south oval of VE Vibert Reserve and walk through the gate. https://goo.gl/maps/NJUiMGwWhVmy4jvi9 Please don't worry about how you are going to get through it. Everyone trains at their own pace, and the aim is to get people out and about, have fun, and help improve fitness and strength.... See you all soon!

18.01.2022 It has been a really challenging year for our business, both financially and emotionally. But we are back open, and running classes until Xmas. We are very fortunate to have a great bunch of students and long-term supporters that have consistently checked up of me to see how I am going, and offering support. We are happy to be open, but government-imposed restrictions still make it very difficult to run the gym, so we are still not out of deep water. We can only hope things get better, and enjoy owning in the capacity we can for the time being #muaythai #muaythaifighter #martialarts #martialartstraining #selfdefense #selfdefensetraining #kickboxing #boxing #shepparton #fitness #ajarnmat #gvmartialarts #gvmuaythai #thaiboxing #authenticmuaythai #thaistyle

17.01.2022 The New Year is here, and a good excuse to either try something new, or pick up something you haven't done for a while. Our Muaythai classes are capped to ensure you get good access to trainers, who are also professional Muaythai fighters, and trained extensively in Thailand. We offer 100% authentic Muaythai, and have done so for 20 years. We are very close to booking out all places for our classes;... Mon/Wed Junior Muaythai (6-12) - Fully booked Tue/Thu Junior Muaythai (6-12) - 2 places left Mon/Wed Senior Muaythai (13+) - 5 places left Tue/Thu Senior Muaythai (13+) - 5 places left Still plenty of space in our Mon/Wed Senior Morning class. And we will be running Friday night classes now, for anyone wanting to do some extra training etc. Contact me now to book a place!

17.01.2022 Well done on a great first night back! It was hot, but we all trained hard together Good to see our fresh crop of fighters for 2021 working hard in preparation for their upcoming bouts next month too!

14.01.2022 I’m sure you are all feeling a bit sore from Monday, but get plenty of hydration and rest for tomorrow morning. You may be stiff and sore, but you will 100% regret not training. Once you warm up you will be ok, just remember to work at your own pace And don’t forget to set you alarms (you know who )

14.01.2022 Massive thank you to everyone who has booked a spot, and shared our FB page. Junior Classes - Term 1 As of today, all our Junior classes are completely full. If you have been messaging me and haven't confirmed, or you were thinking about it, please contact me to place you on the waiting list.... Senior Classes I have 5 places left for Tues/Thursday 6pm evening classes I have 8 places left for Mon/Wed 6am morning classes Contact me ASAP if you would like a spot before we start next week. Thank you for all the support, we are looking forward to a big year!

13.01.2022 Happy Easter everyone! I hope the Easter Bunny was good to you all, don’t forget there is no class tomorrow night, but I will be able to run a morning session at 6am. Don’t worry about counting calories and missing out on chocolate; just eat the f#@king egg and come and train #muaythai #muaythaitraining #gvmuaythai #gvmartialarts #sheppartonmartialarts #sheppartonselfdefence #sheppartonkickboxing #thaiboxing #easter

11.01.2022 Good afternoon everyone, unfortunately still no positive news for the business, and will most likely remain that way for a while longer still. I have been receiving requests to do outdoor boot camps for boxing. I have spoken to the DHHS several times at length, and have been advised due to the minimum 1.5m distance between partners not being able to be maintained (measure it out, it is not as close as you think,) they advise me I am liable to be fined ($9,913.00). I am just n...ot willing to risk it, and I know you will say you see heaps of people doing it in the parks, or advertising it on social media, I just can't run the risk of being fined myself, or any of my students. Some might say "don't worry about it, don't pay the fine" etc, but I am not prepared to take any more financial risks. If anybody is interested in doing some morning bootcamps, which will involve body weight, sprint work and conditioning, I will be running a 4 week block starting on Monday the 26th October, finishing Wednesday the 18th November, every Monday & Wednesday at 6am at Vibert Reserve (on Archer St.) It will be $10 per session, running for 40 minutes. It may be possible to run an evening class too, depending on the interest...

10.01.2022 2 spots left if you want to jump in for a session tonight! Classes resume from next Monday for Seniors and Juniors. At this stage we are completely booked out until Xmas, but please message me if you would like to be put on the waiting list...

10.01.2022 Share this around with your friends please legends

09.01.2022 Fantastic to see a floor full of kids training last night! Looking forward to seeing the year out with some fun, and learning new skills and making new friends :)

07.01.2022 *** Announcement *** We are able to train indoors from this Wednesday morning! (But with many restrictions.)... 6AM outdoor bootcamp still running for the next 6 weeks (Fully booked) I will be organising a 6 week class program leading up to Xmas, starting Monday the 2nd November. Classes are again capped, so I need people to message me ASAP to secure a spot. I wish I can fit every person in, but it is impossible with the restrictions. I am not going to be able to make everyone happy, but it is totally out of my control. Timetable is as follows... Juniors (grade Prep to Grade 6) - 45 minute session M/W 5PM Seniors (18 years+) - 60 minute session M/W 6PM T/T 6PM Restrictions - Maximum 10 people per class (bookings essential) - All students to maintain social distancing, which means no padwork, no sparring, no partner-drills etc. - Students must wait until 5 minutes before their class starts, or wait until you are invited to enter the gym. - Students must exit the gym immediately after bowing out. - All students must take care of their personal hygiene. Do not come to training if you are feeling unwell, and keep your gear clean. - No sharing of equipment, which means everyone will have their own boxing bag to work on. This Wednesday & Friday night at 6pm we will run a couple of classes. First in best dressed...

06.01.2022 *** Announcement *** Hi everyone, I was hoping I would be able to post today with some good news regarding the gym, unfortunately we are still unable to open. I have been speaking with the DHHS, and the guidelines the state government handed out today - while not 100% concrete - means we will most likely be shut until late November, depending on active Covid cases in both metro and regional areas. ... I was hoping to at least be able to do some outdoor boot camps with a few groups, but this is also prohibited. I had a few things planned for our hopeful reopening next week, but they will have to wait. So very frustrating and disappointing, and financially disastrous for me and my family. I managed to get some rent pause, but this finishes at the end of this month. I will be trying to get this extended, otherwise the gym will close, and look at possibly reopening next year. To put it bluntly, after 5 months of zero income & no government assistant, the gym is completely broke, and I have spent all my family’s savings to keep it open. If I can’t get a further waiving of rent, I will be looking to sell all my equipment and store what is left in the hopes of reopening next year sometime. Over 20 years of teaching Muaythai, karate, boxing and running related businesses, I have never been this close to closing the doors. Thank you to everyone who have been keeping in contact with me and the offers of support, it has been most appreciated.

05.01.2022 All spots in the Junior class are taken. If you’ve enquired, but never confirmed, please message me if you would like to be put on the waiting list for 2021. We currently have a couple of spots left for the senior classes in either the Monday/Wednesday group, or the Tuesday/Thursday group. Please message me ASAP if you have any queries. ... Thank you very much to everyone for your continued support. It has no doubt been an extremely difficult year, but we decided to stay open and wouldn’t have been able to do it without all our fantastic students

05.01.2022 Club shirts are in! They look fantastic, come and grab yours from the gym this week (I will mail out the ones I have to post this week too.) There are still a few of you that haven’t paid for them, and I also ordered a few for those whom missed out on the order...

04.01.2022 How good has it been to be back! Even though we are restricted with class sizes, we are at capacity and everyone is straight back into training with a smile on their face Restrictions look to ease from the 23rd November, so we should be able to increase class sizes. Let me know if you would like to book a spot! All instructors are former professional Muaythai fighters, lived, trained and competed in Thailand. We have brought authentic Muaythai training to the Goulburn Valley for over 20 years. While we have trained many state and national champions, we offer traditional Muaythai training for everyone

04.01.2022 Great work on the first week everyone! I know you were sore from Monday, but you still made it this morning and had a good crack at it :) Have a good weekend, try and stay active and at least get out for an hour walk, or a 20 minute run, ride you bike etc. See you on Morning for the start of our second week! If you haven't had a chance to pay, my banking details are as follows. Just make sure you put your name as the reference :)... Mat Reid BSB: 083894 Acc: 840613221
