25.01.2022 If Taekwondo is something that you're passionate about, consider going all out by learning how to speak some Korean. This online course has been put together by Stephanie, an SMA student, professional language teacher, and my stepdaughter! If you ever go to Korea to pursue your training, this course could lead to you having an amazing experience. Check it out. https://www.weasydney.com.au/course/KOREAN.101

25.01.2022 I'm proud to announce that Shire Martial Arts now has a brand new 2nd Dan female black belt. Students can check out my report and a cool video on our closed student group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/shiremartialarts/

22.01.2022 Dont forget today starts the new Facebook rule where they can use your photos. Don't forget the Deadline is today!!! It can be used in court cases in litigation against you.

20.01.2022 UPDATE!! Restrictions eased... Class Numbers increased. New South Wales has subtly rolled back another coronavirus restriction. Gyms were originally to reopen this Saturday with only 10 people allowed in a class.... But on the eve of gyms reopening, the limit on people in classes has doubled to 20 - provided that prescribed distancing is in place. Fitness, gymnasiums, Pilates, yoga and dance studios can reopen with up to 20 people per class subject to the 4 square metre rule, a NSW Health spokesperson told 7NEWS.com.au. The 20 people in a class does not include the instructor or any assistants. Restrictions on the number of people allowed inside the gym at any given time was always a prerequisite for a safe reopening. Im proud of this state for following the health advice and flattening the curve to such a point, where we can now re-introduce kids sports and open gyms, NSW Deputy Premier John Barilaro said last Monday. Sport and exercise boosts morale and this is exactly what New South Wales needs right now.

18.01.2022 A quick update. After clarifying the stage 2 restrictions I've increased the class sizes from 9 to 10. So if you missed getting into a class, there are a few extra spots available next week.

18.01.2022 Shire Martial Arts will be training all throughout the term 2 school holidays. ALL classes will be on at the usual time. #shiremartialarts #mastergarysimmons

17.01.2022 From Taekwondo Preschool Little Dolphins students to Shire Martial Arts black belts, these two young teens show how #commitment hard work and #perceverance can pay off. #shiremartialarts #mastergarysimmons

17.01.2022 At Shire Martial Arts the Halloween countdown is on! #shiremartialarts #mastergarysimmons

17.01.2022 The Shire Martial Arts black belt Dan grading is back in full swing... literally. Heres Isabella going through a self defence move. Lots of swinging here! Its good to see our teens picking up where they left off. We continue the grading next week. #shiremartialarts #mastergarysimmons

16.01.2022 Wow, good to see you booking into classes! #shiremartialarts #mastergarysimmons

14.01.2022 Shire Martial Arts Taekwondo teen boy #confidence & #selfesteem Well done boys! #shiremartialarts #mastergarysimmons

13.01.2022 An inspirational low spinning kick or sweep from William who has been polishing his technique during the #covid19lockdown. I think his commitment is inspirational. #shiremartialarts #mastergarysimmons

13.01.2022 Our new Shire Martial Arts 3rd Dan Black belt Siboney in action. The first break is a double board 2cm thick wood. The red board is equivalent to a 1cm board and she did the elbow strike on the 1cm board. She made it look easy... but its not. #shiremartialarts #mastergarysimmons

13.01.2022 Its great to have our teen black belt grading back on track, despite social distancing. Fortunately Siboney has her sister to do the slashing in this #selfdefence move. #shiremartialarts #mastergarysimmons

13.01.2022 Tutorial Classes... Just a quick heads up about how our Tuesday & Saturday tutorial classes are now free. You will still need to book in, but you won't need to worry about a pass or discount codes... I hope this makes things easier... especially for our senior belts who are preparing for their Dan gradings.

12.01.2022 At Shire Martial Arts our junior Little Dolphins and Big Dolphins students are getting quite excited at the prospect of trick or treating around the Sutherland Shire, where our Martial Arts or Taekwondo classes are. I wonder if there'll be any Cobra Kai costumes? A Shire Martial Arts uniform could be adapted quite easily. Master Gary Simmons

11.01.2022 Shire Martial Arts is back tomorrow. #shiremartialarts #mastergarysimmons

11.01.2022 Its good to be back! Lots of SSL or smiling, sweating and learning in one of the first Shire Martial Arts classes after our lockdown. #shiremartialarts #mastergarysimmons

08.01.2022 COULD YOU PLEASE REBOOK YOUR CLASSES....It's been quite hectic here behind the scenes at SMA. It was great being back in class on Saturday... then when I got home, I found that the rules have been relaxed even more and we can now have 20 students per class. This means that we can now revert back to our normal schedule!... I know you've booked your 'post covid19' classes in already, but since I changed the timetable, back to our normal times, your bookings have dropped off. So if you wouldn't mind, could you please go to https://sma.punchpass.com and rebook your classes. I'm so sorry for the inconvenience. Hopefully, now, this is a positive step towards normality I'll be sending out a blog post with more details later. Thanks for your understanding. Regards, Gary Simmons

08.01.2022 3 more sleeps to go!! #shiremartialarts

06.01.2022 Our latest 2nd Poom or junior black belt Quentin in action. Im very proud of Quentin as he started with Shire Martial Arts as a Little Dolphin. He went through all stages of our Black Belt Club, he also passed our very challenging Masters Club and now despite all the difficulties with COVID-19 he completed the 4 week grading process. #shirmartialarts #mastergarysimmons

04.01.2022 Theyve changed the goal posts again! It was great having classes again at Shire Martial Arts today with our new post Covid-19 lockdown schedule. But now today, the powers that be have changed the rules yet again (thankfully) and now we CAN have up to 20 students in a class. It looks like we can resume our normal schedule... if you could continue being patient while I figure this new situation out, I would appreciate it. Ill be in touch soon with updated info shortly.

03.01.2022 Find out about our classes and schedule from this link below, now that we are back from our COVID 19 lockdown. https://www.shiremartialarts.com.au/normal-class-times/

03.01.2022 Our holiday break is coming up soon. Here are the details!

02.01.2022 Belt Graduation Live on ZOOM! We're very excited about hosting our first Shire Martial Art Belt Graduation since March. Obviously with the Covid restrictions we've had to make some adjustments, including streaming the event live on ZOOM.... For families who normally support us and their child by attending our Belt Graduations and cheering on the students, it would be appreciated if you didn't come upstairs on this occasion. If you send your child up, you can log into ZOOM and watch it live at 6.00pm sharp from your car, or anywhere! You will be able to log in from about 5.45 pm. There are some exceptions. If you have a very young child or if it's your child's first ever Belt Graduation, it's okay if ONE family member attends the actual event. For me, it's a bit of a learning curve, so I'm going to hope for the best and hope that all of the technicalities pan out. I will be recording the event and I'll be happy to pass on the link once it's over. All the details are below. ZOOM details: Gary Simmons is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.
