24.01.2022 Congratulations to all the white and yellow belts who successfully graded last week. All gradings are milestones but special mention to the 5 green tips who achieved their green belts. Green belt is like intermediate level you have a good understanding of the basics now it's time to get more serious. Thanks to Erica, Jack, Josh and Jacob for assisting me conducting the gradings.

23.01.2022 My new pattern (even though i have been 5th Dan for 1 year). Goal for this year work on new pattern. This is demonstration of art in motion https://youtu.be/cD-9nYJ0CHQ

22.01.2022 Here's a summary of the BJJ we practiced at the camp. Like anything these skills take years and years to learn properly but you gotta start somewhere. We are basically just white belts in bjj touching the surface but adding to our skill set / knowledge thats the main thing.

21.01.2022 Here is some instructional videos from our Grand Master Ron for you to watch & practice. Basic Blocks https://youtu.be/oEAsMd_5g7k... Boxing combinations https://youtu.be/6Wk8cdYodEI Basic kicks https://youtu.be/FawBwoUzFAU

20.01.2022 Slideshow: The (Holding)"Side Kick Challenge" is complete. Practice has been done, photos have been taken (after couple of attempts), 1st, 2nd and 3rd now announced. While it might be relatively easy on your own but co-ordinating as a group is harder. It's with mixed feelings the winner (as voted by a independent party) is my Thursday yoga class at Willoughby. No prizes just a bit of fun. My side kick from Castle Hill, Townsville in 2008 thrown into the mix.

18.01.2022 Congratulations to Jacob Trope on achieving 1st Degree Black Belt yesterday with the IMT. Jacob has been training with me for over 5 years. He came across from another style of TKD and has adapted well to our style and has worked hard towards his goals. He has always been courteous and has shown lots of perseverance to obtain his Black Belt. He has grown so much in the last 2 years both in height and confidence. Iam extremely proud to have him as my Student and Assistant Instructor. Photo left: yesterday (tall, strong, confident for 14) Photo right: 2 yr ago (earliest photo i could find)

13.01.2022 Good to see pretty much all my brown/black belts at the advanced session at HQ. Especially Kel, Lilian, Eytan and Xander for their first advanced session. Attending the first session sets your intentions for big year. We only have 8 of these each year so opportunity not to be missed.

10.01.2022 Home workout # 1. Full playlist (ex intro) goes for approx 24 min. This is a summary video with only a few demonstrations so expect the full workout to go for at least 1 hour (like a normal class). You can do the full workout or individual parts (as mentioned in the intro). Full instructions are in the description field of the playlist video. Full playlist with all 6 parts:... https://www.youtube.com/playlist Individual parts: Warm up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgdYUQsU-5E&t=39s Combinations: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXoPQ0bFE7I Kicks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c24NGEmJxbQ 1 step: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IjYRFyfKLT0 Wall exercises: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4UateOuoXE Sparring: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zwx0nGBK4wE

05.01.2022 Good to see the ufc guys "appreciating" the power of our kicks. These hogus dont really absorb much. I wouldnt like to be on the receiving end of these kicks. Anyone want to play this game at training? https://youtu.be/b1XghiFsNAE

05.01.2022 Congratulations to Eva and Aniyah who achieved their yellow belts last week. Both girls started when they were only 4 years old (now 6) and went thru the "little ones" program (games based program for 4-5 yo) and they both go to Brookvale Public in Year 1. It's always good to have a training buddy. These girls are rising stars.

04.01.2022 As all gyms, churches, halls, etc are now closed that means all my Taekwondo classes can no longer continue. However, Iam a qualified Personal Trainer with Fitness Australia which means I can continue my classes outdoors (read below) I want to at least run/honour my normal classes outdoors until the end of this term (3 weeks to go). The following classes may be held outdoors this week (to be confirmed - TBC):... Wednesday afternoon @ Brookvale: location & time TBC Thursday afternoon @ Gordon: Bicentennial Park, West Pymble - time TBC Saturday morning @ Brookvale: location & time TBC Saturday afternoon @ West Pymble: Bicentennial Park, West Pymble - time TBC I will be in touch. Regards, Simon

04.01.2022 My first video production. Over the past 5 weeks I have been recording all my online classes on Zoom & uploading to Youtube & now playing with the editing feature. The quality is average because it's using the camera from my laptop. Summary of yesterday's brown/black class filmed at Best Balance Health & Fitness Brookvale with my Assistant Instructor Xander Roperti. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DakgvKR43QY

03.01.2022 Grand re-opening today of my Gym Best Balance Health & Fitness (Brookvale) aswell as West Pymble Community Hall. Saturdays are back to normal "working" (teaching taekwondo is not work it's a passion) with classes in the morning and afternoon. Aswell as a Zoom Yoga class to finish off the day. Everyone did their part by playing by the rules of physical distancing, high hygiene standards and non contact.

03.01.2022 We occasionally twirl the Bo and incorporate into our training just touching the surface. This is the level you can achieve with many years of dedication. You can easily get a broom stick or Bo and practice in the backyard or local park.

02.01.2022 Term 1 classes "kick-off" tomorrow: Wednesday at Brookvale 4-515pm white/yellow 4-530pm green + ...
