25.01.2022 Last training session before Easter. Remember, no training on Saturday. Back at it next Tuesday.

25.01.2022 Ok guys, Im happy everyone has returned to training this term with lots of positive energy. Big class last night and If Im honest I wasnt expecting that many. We only have a little over a month and a half until December grading. Green belt grading is our toughest grading so far as it is a bit of a jump from yellow and green tip in terms of the techniques and combinations. Sparring has come a long way in the past month or so and I am really happy with the progress. As we become more confident with sparring more leg clashes and accidental knocks are going to happen and more kicks will sneak through the guard. I recommend the higher belts start to look at getting shin and foot guards down the track. Train hard over the next few weeks and stay focused if you are planning on grading.

25.01.2022 I'm pretty sure I get more nervous than the students on grading day. Look forward to seeing you all a bit later

24.01.2022 Can't help but love The karate kid (as bad as it is) Specifically this quote. In traditional martial arts there is so much emphasis on gaining a black belt mostly for student retention and it's a great marketing strategy. A black belt is a fine goal to be sure but I prefer you to be safe and skilled rather than worry about the colour of your belt. Work hard, train hard, stay safe. Also "man who catch fly with chopstick, accomplish anything"

24.01.2022 Hey guys, just a few things. First, I had a chance to spar everyone in the second class yesterday and you all gave me a really good workout. Super impressed, a few things we will go over in class but for the most part I was really happy with the progress. Second, Saturday 8:30am class is at absolute capacity at this stage, so if you are doing make up classes please choose any other time to do those. Third, I am looking at starting classes for 3-4 year old early August. This ...will be a trial basis and will be free for the month of August to see how the classes go. Keep an eye out for times and info if you are interested, I will be posting them on here in the next few days. Lastly, we will be focusing on sparring for the rest of this week. It will be important that all students pay attention and do their best to follow the drills as instructed. Depending on how we go with the drills, there will be a little team tournament at the end of each class for the rest of the week. See you at training.

24.01.2022 Training this morning.

23.01.2022 Some of my favourite kicks

23.01.2022 This video is a training drill, it's not real life. The technique used is great and it looks awesome in a choreographed scenario just keep in mind it's not real life. Stay safe and don't walk towards people with machetes https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=2209359555786351&id=177026549019672

18.01.2022 Video is pretty old but Taekwondo, fastest and most powerful kicking style, at least in this experiment. skip to 5 mins to see it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dO_YT1TjS0&t=322s

18.01.2022 If my students think Im being hard on them they need to see this. I think youll see Im a big softy in comparison. Think I need to up the ante a bit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtFDKKvunXE

18.01.2022 Shirts finally arrived

17.01.2022 I'm not the best, not even close, but damn I love this stuff . I know it's not for everyone, it's hard work! Bruce lee said "I fear not the man that has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man that has practiced one kick 10,000 times." my teaching is not perfect, my way is not perfect, I am constantly learning as are my students. I hope we can become better together, I have high standards not just for the students but myself as well. As always I thank you for your time and effort and for letting me teach you all.

17.01.2022 about 150 push up a day and starts on the 1st of July. feel free to join in with me. Should be fun! Bones Jones I'm looking at you. https://www.thepushupchallenge.com.au/individu/17422/share

17.01.2022 My little Sidekick helping me put together the new folders ready for grading tomorrow

15.01.2022 Just want to thank the students for the effort that was shown today after the first day back at school. I know it can be tough waiting for your one on one with me but I'm more than impressed with how you all performed your pad work. It's important for me to spend that time with you all so i can get a good idea of where everybody's at and so that I can push you a little. No training Thursday back on Saturday

15.01.2022 Tomorrow #thepushupchallange starts for #headspace if you would like to get involved you can join my team 1 day left to register and it's free the code word is ninja (of course) a bit of fun, fitness and bring awareness to mental health. #pushforbetter

15.01.2022 Waiting for students, thought I'd sneak a few pushups. Not how I usually do them but makes for a cool video and it's fun @pushforbetter

14.01.2022 So ending classes last year really hit me hard, like a round house to the face. Starting sidekicks was only ever about teaching quality martial arts to kids who were willing to learn. I have missed teaching so much and have had a lot happening in my personal life but I'm always thinking of ways to get back to teaching. At this stage I'm not looking at officially starting classes, I am however going to be in a certain park training and if anyone would happen to come by, you wo...uld be welcome to join in free every Friday at 4pm. Once all this crazy corona virus stuff is done and dusted I will post details for those those who might be interested. If you are interested let me know but please be aware it's not official classes. My email is no longer active so use Facebook if you want to get in touch. Hope you are all staying well and healthy hopefully see some of you in the future. Peace and love, Coach Bart. See more

13.01.2022 This photo is almost 1 year ago. The first Sidekicks grading. We grade again on Sunday and I can't wait to see you all perform at your best and can't wait to see those that are doing their first grading. I'm lucky to call you my students. As always, thank you for trusting me to train you

13.01.2022 Last Day of training. I have received and read your lovely emails and I will respond to them all, I just wanted to get through the week before I did. I said goodbye to some of you already and I will miss you all. For the rest, I'll see you soon for one last session.

13.01.2022 It's OK if at first you don't believe in yourself, as long as you are surrounded by people that do and know what you are capable of. Encouragement from this little champs team and his never give up attitude. We need more of this. https://www.facebook.com/uniladmag/videos/291149461821705/

12.01.2022 Remember you can train anywhere and its usually a lot of fun! Penny Lea getting some pushups in at the park.

10.01.2022 Hey guys, just a quick one, I keep meaning to talk about this in class but I keep forgetting. Mouthpieces, I recommend every student gets one especially those that are a little older or higher ranks that go a little harder in sparring. they are like 6 or 7 bucks from a chemist you don't need a fancy one. We are not going to start smashing each other in the face but we train in a combat sport and accidents will happen. Let's protect ourselves as best we can.

09.01.2022 Adult class ages 16+ again tomorrow night. No judgment, just punches and kicks. Get over hump day by smashing some bags/pads. Free trial! Beginners welcome!

07.01.2022 3 days in (4th day today) and so far I have completed 555 pushups out of 3128. The arms are a little sore but otherwise going well. https://www.thepushupchallenge.com.au/pushuperer/17422 @pushforbetter #pushupchallenge

06.01.2022 Hey guys. With the Mini Ninja class this afternoon I would just like 1 or 2 helpers. I love that the older students are keen to help but if the little kids have to many people to focus on it can get a bit confusing. I will rotate assistants each week when necessary. Also if you arrive early please stay at the back of the hall and keep noise to a minimum until the Mini Ninja class is finished. Thank you and look forward to seeing you all this afternoon at training.

06.01.2022 Seniors class tonight 6:00pm any and all welcome ages 16+ your chance to punch and kick me... if you canSeniors class tonight 6:00pm any and all welcome ages 16+ your chance to punch and kick me... if you can

05.01.2022 7 years ago. Been teaching martial arts for so long I'm pretty sure these two are taller than me now I'm ever evolving and ever learning, the new wave of martial artists I teach get all I have to give. I am forever questioning and reevaluating to make sure the students get the most current information. @ollie_stocks @alexerossii @mrsrossi__

05.01.2022 ... Should we run a couple of classes a week? I think a year off was enough. Thinking about kicking again.

05.01.2022 Said a wise man. Anger is a powerful emotion, we should never fight angry nothing good can come from it and you will inevitably only hurt yourself. Stay focused and remember to breathe. #brucelee #martialarts #philosophy
