Kyokushin Karate Mouko Dojo

Jamie Ryan was one of my oldest and dearest friends.

We grew up together, got in trouble together and we even lived together.

We were the coolest breakdancers at school and built many a tree house together down the back paddock in my hometown of Inverell, but my favourite memory is of playing with Jamie in the sandpit in Preschool.

On this particular day he was throwing sand at me and when I'd had enough, I picked up a shovel and hit him over the head with it and split his head open.
Blood everywhere.
We were four or five at the time.
We used to laugh about it regularly because Jamie still had the scar on his head to this day.

He is the reason I am in Brisbane doing what I am doing because he was the one who kept ringing me, wanting me to come up.
He let me move in with him for a while until I found a job and got myself established.

He was a good man, and I will miss him and his humour.

I will miss our Christmas catch ups where we would often get up to no good together, either at the Boxing Day Races, playing snooker at the RSL club or spending lazy afternoons tinkering with our cars and talking s**t.

He was a talented artist and illustrator and found his passion as a signwriter soon after he left Brisbane in the late 90's early 2000's.
I would often ring him asking advice on graphic design and illustration because he was the master.

He would often brag about the work he was doing for the Newcastle Knights and knowing a lot of past and present players.

His memory will live on as I present this award to one of my most promising students each and every year.

The Jamie Ryan Fighting Spirit award.

Rest in Peace, my old mate.
This is for you.

Osu!

This month we are celebrating eleven years of being of service in our local community.

September 2012 - September 2023

We've produced local and state champions in both kata and kumite, donated our time to help children with special needs, stood by our values, principles and standards during Covid and even bully-proofed children who were lacking in confidence and self-esteem.

What a journey it has been.

We look forward to seeing what the next eleven years will bring.

It Ain't Wrong to be Strong 👊🏾

Is your child feeling disconnected with the world around them?

Looking for positive role models for your child to look up to?

Sick of martial arts instructors you're paying turn up every other week while kids with no life experience teach your child?

May we suggest enrolling your child in our Kyokushin Karate dojo right here on Brisbane's Northside.

We're not here to teach your child how to fight.
We're here to help your child live up to their true and fullest potential in modern day society being guided by their own code of living so that they don't grow up wandering aimlessly.

Let us show you or your child the path to feeling safe, confident and secure going about your everyday business.

A small but extremely dedicated group of winners at training tonight.

Bucketloads of courage, drive and determination.

Extremely proud is an understatement.

Osu!

Good afternoon, winners!
It's been a little while since we had some new members to welcome.

I'd like to officially welcome Steve Rozić and his lovely family to our MOUKO DOJO.

Steve brings with him a wealth of experience, having trained with the IKOKU and other organisations both here in Australia and in Japan, where he lived for a number of years.

We hope you are enjoying the training, my friend.

Osu!

If podcasts are not your thing and you enjoy reading nonfiction, wisdom from life experience, then you might enjoy these.

My digital newsletter is available on Substack at MR RAMMFIT.

It's where I help motivate, energise and inspire men, and women, from all walks of life to live up to their true and fullest potential.

It's not for everyone, I'm a realist at the end of the day and I see things as they are, not as my emotions cloud them.
One of the key tenets of (intense) realism is the belief that reality exists independently of our perceptions and subjective experiences.

The ability to navigate through life seeing people, situations and events as they are and not as our emotions cloud them allows us to make better decisions and avoid things like depression and anxiety.

If you make judgement on an emotional attachment to a situation, you might find yourself dealing with a situation you could have been better prepared for or avoiding it altogether.

My purpose is to be of service, to show people how to navigate and win at life so they can avoid failure and be a success.
I do that in various ways, operating the MOUKO DOJO Brisbane is one.

Our clothing brand, RAMMFIT and the It Ain't Wrong to be Strong Podcast series are others.

You may or may not agree with me on certain topics I talk about in the digital newsletter, that's the beauty of being guided by my own code of living.
I don't silence or censor people who disagree, I'm happy to hear other people's perspective.
I don't violate the rights of other people which is high on my list of core values.

It is however, wisdom from life experience.
I know it's true because I have lived it.
They're not opinions or information I share from other sources.
It's what I have learned through living life, solitude, introspection, self-analysis and the painful process of trial and error.

At the very least, I hope this newsletter gets you thinking about who you are, what you want and where you're going and how and why you should build your own Seikatsu no Kihan, your own code of living because if you don't have one, you're a man or woman that wanders aimlessly.
There's nothing guiding you.
