25.01.2022 Saturday mornings with this lot is a little loud, hectic, and a full on hour of learning and rolling. It's also often hilarious, fulfilling, rewarding, and I am so grateful for the opportunity to help these little humans just the slightest bit. Thank you SO MUCH to all the coaches that lend their time. There is absolutely no way this could be done what I consider to be so professionally and passionately without you guys and girls.... You have my utmost respect. It's one skill to do it, it's another skill to teach it. Thanks humans. Now have a cracker weekend. #kylreberjiujitsu #debeenjiujitsu #backyourself

24.01.2022 SAVE THE DATE!!!!! This will be our first grading for next year. Whack it in the calendar NOW!!!... More details to come.. #backyourself #bobjonesmartialarts

23.01.2022 I have to be honest. In about May of this year, I was not sure if I would be writing a post like this at the end of 2020. There were some real moments in our shutdown, when we were working our best to navigate through this year and all it’s surprises, that the concept of continuing CMA was something we were not quite sure if we could achieve. ... But then, as I have said many times before, an amazing thing was proven to me. Community will always conquer all. Not just the community of CMA, but ALL our Martial Arts communities we are so grateful to be a part of. We ALL came together, we ALL worked together, and we all BEAT IT TOGETHER. 2020 proved to me, as we are coming into our 25th year of teaching, that even though there will be some very, very tough times (with this year being no exception), if you are surrounded by good people, who want you and the club to survive, then that is what will occur. We are the biggest we have ever been, with the best vibe and overall attitude I have ever witnessed. Covid and the year that was brought us together, and has made us stronger than ever. So, 2020 was not the best year, but in so many ways as well, it proved what we started in Graceville Scout Hall in 1996, and the next 25 years of blood, sweat and tears, actually got us through it. It helped us. And for that I am so glad the decision was made to fight on. Thank you. Thank you to EVERYONE from all over Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, and the world that backed us, when we weren’t so sure about backing ourselves. There are too many names to individually mention. You got us through it. But as I said, 2021 is our 25th anniversary, and serious catch up on some major events that had to be put on hold this year. Plus, we plan on evolving yet even more, and showing the greater WORLD we are so much more than a Martial Arts club. So....... You ain’t seen nothing yet. Nothing is going to stop us now. #cma25years #backyourself #kylreberjiujitsu #onemoreround

23.01.2022 I’m on in this video lucky last, but all these teachers I believe are amazing. I read the other day... To teach is to learn.... Couldn’t agree more. Still time to vote humans. Go to the link below this post and get to it if you haven’t already. Find out tomorrow #toteachistolearn

21.01.2022 Annnnnnd that’s a wrap for 2020. There will be many more thoughts and posts over the next couple of weeks on 2020 and what it meant to CMA and it’s community, but, of course, it comes down to really two words in this case. Thank you. ... Thank you to so many, just too many to mention here, that have helped all of us get through what has been a year like no other. I think a little bit of a break, chill, and reflect is definitely in order. I know I will be doing a lot of that. We are back on deck from the 4th of January 2021, and keep up to date on this page. There will be more thoughts on 2020, and some BIG news for 2021. We will be Backing Ourselves. #cma4life #kylreberjiujitsu #backyourself

20.01.2022 An absolute CRACKER of a Dawn Crew this morning in our 5:30am Brazilian Jiu Jitsu class. We might need to extend the times so we all get some rolls in with each other. Thanks for a killer session you fine humans.... You make that day way easier to tackle after some sweat and chokes. If you would like to look at a great way to have your morning start off in the best way, contact us on 0402465441 or email [email protected], and let's set you up. You just need to set the alarm, and of course.... Back Yourself. www.chikaramartialarts.com.au #kylreberjiujitsu #cma4life #backyourself

19.01.2022 OK... FINAL CALL!!! Today is the LAST DAY to vote! Go to the original post below, type Chikara, and you are done.... After a little wildcard turn of events this morning, I am now in third place, with only about 50 votes from the leader and I (who by the way, sounds like a top bloke). PLEASE..... Let's see where it goes. And if I don't win, I will go about my work, help a few more people, do the stuff, do the things I love to do, and be so grateful, because just by receiving this exposure and being nominated, I have received a TRUCKLOAD more enquiries for the work I do, and it has also shown the public how high in regard some of us hold teachers that are out the box, as we are all here to give knowledge and guide. Talk about backing yourself :) PLEASE VOTE BELOW, AND.......... THANK YOU!!! #backyourself #stillspeechless

19.01.2022 KIDZ!!!! Our Christmas Party for you is not too far away!! SATURDAY 12.12.2020!!... It's been a big year for all you tiny humans, so let's make sure we celebrate it accordingly!! All the details are on the poster... Parents any questions please just ask. ALL KIDZ CLASSES AND PARENTS ARE WELCOME!!! #backyourself #cma4life #kylreberjiujitsu

18.01.2022 There are those that run from challenges, and there are those that run towards them.... FAST... This person has done that all year. This amazing human being over the last 12 months, (and the last 9 in particular), has proved that there are still some very kind people left in the world, and people that do what they do for no external gain.... They just want to help. And that is what she has has done. She has helped not just CMA this year, but Bob Jones Martial Arts at a state and a national level. She has helped us navigate through the bureaucratic storm, and she is the reason so many clubs are still standing right now, in what has been a year like no other. Not only that..... She is an amazing mother, to a pretty cool human, and she time and time again, puts her needs and wants to the side in order to help others. Again, just because she wants them to succeed. There is absolutely no other reason why she does it. She is just a bloody awesome person. And with that said, this award was a total no brainer. 2020 CMA Outstanding Achievement Award. Lisa Morrow. #backyourself #cma4life

14.01.2022 CMA End Of Year Local Gradings!

13.01.2022 Some photos from the weekend, with more to come. Please, tag yourself, share, and send through any more you may have!! Well done to ALL.... #backyourself #cma4life #bobjonesmartialarts50yearsstrong

13.01.2022 COFFEE FOR THE MORNING OF GRADINGS IS SORTED!!! The Rich Pour will be on hand to help us all get the morning kick started and on our way!!! Thanks so much to the team for helping us out, so support those that support us, and get your morning fix as you arrive!!... #backyourself #therichpourespressobar #bobjonesmartialarts50yearsstrong https://www.facebook.com/TheRichPour

13.01.2022 There is a place in Martial Arts for everyone. There is no segregation, and now more than ever, so many people treat it as a sanctuary to go to in order get themselves back on track, form a bond with others, and be part of a community that will support them throughout everything they do, and as a result of this, prove to them the limitations they believed they had, really don't exist. To train is now more accessible than ever before, and that is so needed in these times.... I love this photo. It's one of my all time favourites. This was taken a few years ago now, after these two strong humans put it all on the line, and backed themselves. Here's what I see... Fierce determination Confidence Grit Resilience And most of all... I see a role model for a younger member of our community, that through their actions, influences others to do the same, and shows it can be done. It's not about being the best, or how good you are or are not, it's about being the best YOU can be, and then by displaying that integrity and resilience, you inadvertently affect the lives of so many, just by being who you are. That's what we try to promote more than anything else. You don't have to win, be the best, kick the hardest, run the fastest, be the strongest, or be a destroyer. If you practice being a good person, and work hard on working hard, all those other qualities you may seek, they will just happen. Hard work will ALWAYS beat talent, and by helping others, you are giving yourself the greatest gift of all..... Connection... And of course........ You are also learning how to kick and punch people REALLY HARD, with a few chokes and armbars thrown in for good measure. That is important too. So find a place that promotes you being a good person, cares about you, and wants you to succeed. Look for a community that makes you feel safe, and supports you not only when you are winning, but when you are questioning whether to keep on with the journey. It doesn't have to be CMA, but find somewhere. Trust me....... This Martial Arts stuff will change your life... All for the better. #backyourself #kylreberjiujitsu #cma4life

08.01.2022 Two days into our training year for 2021, and if it’s anything to go on, it’s going to be a cracker. The BJJ Dawn Crew were back with brute force today. Well done you amazing humans. ... We have had an overwhelming amount of enquires to get us started in 2021, and our regulars are back and going for it. If you are wanting to get anyone in your family involved in what we do, and help us make our 25th year of training even more amazing, then shoot us an email on [email protected] or call us on 0402465441. This will be a year where we will teach you how to back yourself. #cma25years #kylreberjiujitsu #backyourself

07.01.2022 ONLY 2 WEEKS UNTIL OUR GROWN UPS CHRISTMAS PARTY! We have had a massive year, and I think this is a great time to have a chill, a couple of quiet ones, and just sit back and relax. There will be a few speeches, some cold drinks, a few awards, and a heap of laughs.... Thank you in advance SO MUCH to our organising committee, that are putting together quite the shindig. Whether you have been with us for 2 weeks, or 20 years, make sure you get your self there!!! All details on the flyer.. Put your name and any guests down on the list at reception so we have an accurate idea of numbers. SEE - YOU - THEN!! #backyourself #cma4life #bobjonesmartialarts #kylreberjiujitsu

06.01.2022 This year has been another year of firsts for CMA, and the families we have training with us. On the weekend we had another first. The first time in the 20 plus years of Bob Jones Martial Arts East Coast, we did not have an annual Senjo, bringing together all our clubs from across the south east of Queensland, to all come together on one day and grade as a united unit.... But that did not stop us. We instead, brought all our clubs together, online, and still celebrated it as a collective, with our founders Soke Bob Jones and Richard Norton, as well as our main hierarchy, to unite us all, give us words of strength, and continue to be the beacon of hope we need. It was different, but it was also exciting, as this had never been done before in BJMA, and what's even better..... It worked! We all bowed in as one, and all our juniors and seniors grading for their Zen Do Kai Black Belts, all graded.... AS ONE, AT THE SAME TIME. That was amazing to see, and when they earned their ranks fair and square, I don't think there was a dry eye in the house. But, we are not done for the year, and now we have found out what we can do when we need to pivot, the sky is not the limit anymore. We can go way higher than that. Thank you to all the parents, families, helpers, higher ranks, lower ranks, siblings, grandparents, friends, cousins, aunties, uncles, and everyone in between, that made not just Saturday, but everyday an honour and a privilege to teach at CMA. As I said at the start of the day, we do not dwell on "This time last year," We instead are working on "This time this year." Let's keep pressing on. Backwards is not an option. We ARE Backing Ourselves. Kyoshi Kyl Reber #backyourself #bobjonesmartialarts50yearsstrong #cma4life

05.01.2022 Happy Monday everyone. It's still sinking in everything that happened last week, with the results of the 97.3 FM Teacher of The Year Awards, so to read these words form my friend and mentor Hanshi Brad Ross sets it in even more. To have praise given to you by anyone is amazing, but to have that praise given to you by someone that has shared so much with you, and been there through thick and thin, really gives all the "feels".... Thank you Hanshi for the kind words, and I will keep being the student, so in turn I can keep working to be a better teacher. #bjmaeastcoast #foreverthestudent #backyourself #cma4life

04.01.2022 We are back from tomorrow!! All classes return as normal, including kids classes, and we cannot wait to see all the old faces back, and are VERY excited to see some new faces back too. Zen Do Kai Freestyle Karate... BJMA Muay Thai BJMA Krav Maga Kyl Reber Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Contact us on 0402465441 or email [email protected] and we will set you up with a FREE trial class. This year is also special for us, as it’s our 25th anniversary, and we are so proud to be going strong after all these years. Tomorrow. Don’t wait. Get on the mats, and learn how to Back Yourself. You turn up, we will do the rest. #cma25years #backyourself #kylreberjiujitsu #onemoreround #bobjonesmartialarts #debeenjiujitsu

04.01.2022 Happy Monday Everyone!! Just a reminder ALL our Kidz classes continue as per their usual times right up until we close for 2020 on the 19th of December. Kids NEED routine, and we have found by adopting this philosophy with our classes, and not breaking up from term to term, we have had a much better success rate keeping kids in a rhythm, and when they reconvene for a new year, it is just a case of picking up where they left off.... It also keeps them off the couch, off the iPad, and ACTIVE. If you would like to come and have your child a free trial in any of the kids classes we have, it could be an unreal way to already start setting up 2021 for greatness! Contact us on 0402465441 or email [email protected] and let's make it happen. It's not too late in 2020 to really start backing yourself. #kylreberjiujitsu #backyourself #bobjonesmartialarts

03.01.2022 A very Merry Christmas to ALL of our members, friends, families, colleagues, and basically ANYONE that has been by our side this past 12 months. We all know the story, it has been a year like no other, but we will talk bout that another time. For now, rest, reflect, be merry (but not too merry), have some real quality time with those you love and hold dear, and be sure to be kind to all.... Check in on a few you have not heard from for a while, or miss dearly, and have just a moment to think about those that may not be here with you today to share this special time. And, above all......... There does not need to be any training today..... From all of the crew at CMA. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! #backyourself #cma4life #kylreberjiujitsu

02.01.2022 Sooo.... I am SHOCKED to have been selected as a finalist in the top 5 for 97.3FM's Teacher of the year.... Blown away in fact.... 500 or so teachers nominated, and I am the only Martial Arts Teacher. It's super humbling, becuase there are so many teachers out there waaay better than me, but a great statement to show that us coaches also play such a part in young people's development. Go to the ORIGNAL POST below, type CHIKARA, and you have officially voted. As I said, it's just humbling to even get recognised, but THANK YOU in advance for voting. Man...... Talk about Backing Yourself :) #backyourself #whatthe #973fm

01.01.2022 Thought..... To be a good person costs you nothing, to not be a good person can cost you everything. - Kyl Reber. ... When you are good to people, and nice to people, it makes you feel better. It actually helps you as much as it may help them. What it also may do, is they may every now and then, give you something that physically does not coast anything, but the value of it to you is priceless. Here we have a boxing pineapple, which one of the amazing tiny humans at The Office gave me this week, and was so proud of it. To be in their thoughts external to training, and be thought of in that regard, is priceless. It’s the little things, so do something little for someone today. It may mean more to them than you will ever know. #itsthelittlethings #theboxingpineapple
