19.01.2022 One of the biggest reasons why so many are broke and miserable is because they procrastinate on taking the steps to bring the right people into their life socially, professionally and romantically. Solution is simple, but requires daily action... Get clear on what you want, why you want it, and decide who would be the most suitable to share these experiences with.... Then take action to develop skills and create environment to make yourself valuable to the people you want and need. Choosing to procrastinate on taking these simple steps consistently every day, means you have no one to blame but yourself for not getting what you wish, hope and dream about. If you lack confidence or skills to get out there, meet people and create a lifestyle worth remembering then reach out to Zen Boxing to enquire how can that be fixed. The choice is yours... Make excuses or take action!

18.01.2022 Seven guys surrounded me. With my back against the wall, there was no way out... I have dealt with gangs who came from the mountains into town to cause trouble before, but never that many at once and never alone. The quiet road where they were waiting for their prey (the dirt track that divided village from town), was a perfect trap where not much would get in a way from executing any ideas floating in their intoxicated minds....Continue reading

17.01.2022 Big thanks to APEX for inviting us to demonstrate "big and beautiful throws" and examples of positional fighting used in Sports Sambo. It's a pity that SA sports federation deemed Combat Sambo as "too brutal" even for demonstration purposes. I was told at the last minute just before we jumped on the ring that it won't be allowed. Either way, it was still a great day with plenty of different martial arts represented. Once again, thanks for hosting it and for inviting us to be a part of such an awesome event.

14.01.2022 Sam, 32, starring at the phone, feeling heavy under pressure; dial or lose the house. The knot in his throat makes it hard to swallow. Sam's doing what every small business owner does every day; battling to survive. Sam is a lone warrior with a big dream. Every step is a fight to overcome fear, anxiety, uncertainty, stress, unpredictability, loneliness. Just like Sam, 250,000 new startups enter the battlefield every year. Less than 3% survive.... Sam needs your help. You get nothing in return but a warm feeling in your heart. Do you know such warrior? Your support WILL make the difference. Do the right thing for all those Sams and Samanthas who rise to the challenge and fight for their big dream. Share just one hour this week. Reach out to such lone warrior. Listen without judgment, empathise without criticisms and give without expectations. They alone must battle, but they cannot do it alone.

14.01.2022 Before BJJ, MMA and UFC, there was Sambo... Sambo was developed by the Russian / Soviet Red Army to improve hand-to-hand combat abilities of the servicemen. It has been adapted for civilian application in Combat Sambo (punches, kicks, knees, elbows, headbutts, throws and submission ground fighting) and Sports Sambo (throws and submission fighting).... To learn more about this fun and effective sport and combat system, contact Zen Boxing.

14.01.2022 Ignorance and lack of environmental awareness often have severe consequences. But occasionally circumstances arise that are beyond our control. Are you trained in bare-knuckle NHB martial art and have you tested your skills in a high-pressure scenario against multiple skilled opponents?

13.01.2022 We have a very strict "no meatheads" policy and zero tolerance for aggression or violence. Guys are sparring at the agreed pace and power. No egos, no heroes.... (sparring night from the old camera that I just fixed...) #boxingadelaide #selfdefenceadelaide #muaythaiadelaide

08.01.2022 Sambo, the secret weapon of top Russian MMA athletes.

05.01.2022 Every month in Australia, thousands of children miss school due to fear of bullies. Studies suggest that bullying may be the leading cause of low self-esteem in children, and according to some surveys, less than 15% of kids actually report acts of bullying. Children's inability to stand up to a bully is rooted in profound fear for their personal safety.... Most victims know that they must confront the bully and would like nothing more than to stand up to them. But, they simply can't follow through for fear of the physical harm that backs the bully's every action. And, therein lies the challenge how do you instil in a victim of bullying the confidence to face the tormentor, look them in the eye, and back them down? The answer is simple teach the victims to defend themselves against physical attack, and the rest will follow. Most martial arts programs rely on striking the attacker with violent punches, kicks, knees, and elbows, but in the Zen Bully Proof program, we take a different approach. All the techniques are purely defensive and utilize no strikes. Furthermore... We teach children how to DEFUSE confrontations with words and never to initiate physical aggression. If attacked, we offer techniques to non-violently neutralize the threat and gain control until help arrives. THE ZEN BULLY PROOF PROGRAM: The goal of this program is to instil in your child unshakable confidence so they can overcome bullies without violence. We will teach your child to use verbal assertiveness to deter bullies and several non-violent self-defence techniques to stay safe if physically assaulted. If it is important for you to give your child unshakable confidence while reinforcing positive values and good character, then Zen Bully Proof program is for you!

03.01.2022 It's the punch that you don't see coming is the one that will bring you to your knees... Most people get knocked down by life when they get this one thing wrong! Want a lesson on how to stay strong when most fail (from the man who survived violence on the streets of the war-torn country and built from aches a lifestyle of freedom and passion)?... In the boardroom, at home, on the street and the boxing ring you in the battle. The outcome is easy to predict... It all depends on how you answer this simple question: "Where is your focus?". Most people focus on what they assume is about to cause them pain. They are trying to predict the next punch. Their attention, strategies, and techniques are consumed by anticipation of what MIGHT happen. Mind occupied by the future causes distraction and procrastination from doing what is truly important right now. Meanwhile, the punch that they fail to see knocks them out cold. The solution is simple, but not easy. CHOOSE YOUR FOCUS! Looking for excuses why you can't or won't get through the battle? You'll find them! Maybe you choose to get distracted by bills, never having enough time, always asking for permission to live your own life? And motivation starts to fade as you become consumed by painful thoughts and self-doubt. The weight on your shoulders pins you down into submission. Panic and fear sets in as you get hurt again and again. Defeat becomes inevitable as you try to escape the pain by drowning it with unhealthy copping choices. Meanwhile, the solution was there all along! Focus on what you CAN control (if you not sure ask those who already fought and survived such battles). The fight could have been won by simply outlasting the opponent, by riding out the storm, having a stronger will and determination to be the one who survives the battle. Maybe choose to commit to a proven process and train your body, strengthen your mind, improve your health. You could develop skills to connect, attract and keep the right people (socially, professionally, romantically) who will stand shoulder to shoulder with you. Either way... Focus on the PROCESS, not the outcome. The choice is yours! Be defeated or fight excuses and maybe follow the footsteps of someone who survived such battles on the ring, street, boardroom and life. Choose to be a warrior or a victim! #mindfulness #confidence #MartialArts

01.01.2022 An important announcement for those who want to become the strongest person in your sports club or martial arts gym! Every Tuesday and Thursday mornings at 5:30 am, Zen is now running strength training sessions in Mt Barker. It is a Russian method of developing strength without destroying joints while developing flexibility and mobility to improve overall health and longevity as the body ages (very different from US approach). ... The strength program runs in 3 months cycles covering: - How to move efficiently, faster and with ease - Increase mobility and flexibility - Body alignment to reduce injuries - Breathing for endurance, strength and stress management Exercises are designed to help beginners gradually built complexity and intensity by improving overall muscle engagement (teaching your body to work and move as one, rather than separate units). A very powerful approach if you want to move functionally for everyday challenges and in sport application (playing with kids, wrestling, MMA, boxing, kickboxing...) You'll be documenting your progress using specific metrics, so you KNOW you are making improvements in each area. Nutritional advice is to be offered to those who either want to lose weight or become more muscular and look better. Booking and 90 days commitment is required as there won't be more than eight people per group allowed to ensure that the coach gives everyone quality advice. Message Zen for more information...
