25.01.2022 Don’t forget about kyokushin kids classes, starting at 12:30pm today :)

25.01.2022 Tag team sparring in Wednesdays class... Three Teams, 3 contestants, 30 minutes of sparring.. worked out to 10 x 2 minute rounds for each contestant.. survival of the fittest. winner take all..! .. Very tough contest that finally ended in a 3 way draw.. and to be continued..! .. :)

25.01.2022 Todays session... 10 sets at 60kg x 15 reps... Till failure last set of 23 reps.... ( Erika the Viking as spotter).. Sit-ups and stretching in between sets.. On completion I gave myself a pat on the back and shortly after celebrated with a latte.. :) Osu..

25.01.2022 Clips of Monday nights class.. with Harley and Luke... excellent work by both.. Drew are you with us?... A Big Osu to all.. Looking forward to a soon to be.. United Kyokushin.!

25.01.2022 Small class tonight, but was a quality session. 100% work effort from both Harley and Matt.

25.01.2022 Light Sparring - Kyokushin Rules. This is the best chess game!. Just like chess you may have to give targets for sacrifice to achieve a positive outcome. Adam ...Crowe, good movement, you are getting to be a good chess player! PS.. Any Hobartonians out there that want to get fit and strong & learn some self defence, your welcome at our Dojo. See more

24.01.2022 MARTIAL ARTS : STRIKER Versus ANY GRAPPLER - Put them on the street.. Who will really win? I'll back the Striker every time! MMA rules are Rigged big time, in f...avour of the Grappler. The MMA Cage is a joke!.. A huge disadvantage for the Striker as it locks him into the Grapplers range. Every major part of the body that the Grappler will attack, snap and break for a submission, the Striker is not permitted to strike.. eg. the neck, the throat, the elbow joint, the knee joint, and more. Fact is that in martial arts events such as Boxing, Kick Boxing and Muay Thai, all the most dangerous and deadly striking techniques have been removed, and if added to the mix, fights will be over quick & smart. Fact is that most in the Martial Arts, know that a well trained Striker will most always beat a well trained Grappler in any even playing field.. The Grappling Organizations have thrown about a lot of cash to get strikers to fight under Grappler rules to promote and expand their sport. Now every Tom, Dick and Harry is teaching schoolyard grappling.. Wake up people, get back to your Striking Art!... Amen. The debate in now open.. See more

22.01.2022 Practising low kick counters against a boxer.. Effectiveness of your low kick off the lead leg, is all in the timing. This is also a safe way to sort out new aggressive students of unknown quantity and intentions, when you first spar them.. Never failed me back in the days.. :)
