CMA - Chikara Martial Arts

So good to have Kyoshi Matt Ball take a Zen Do Kai session on Tuesday night at CMA.

The session covered a ton of fundamental movement relating to posture and stances in relation to our Kata, and also a very cool drill from Rotating Palms Kata.

It was fantastic to have everyone's eye opened a little, a see even the highest ranks have concentrate to grasp the movements.

The journey of learning is never over.

Thanks so much to Matt for his time, and to everyone that came and travelled to the seminar. It was amazing.

We have had a very busy few days recovering from the BJMA East Coast Senjo and Presentation Dinner, so there will be a few posts to get through celebrating all of our people that have done some pretty amazing things in the last week, and achieved much more than they ever thought they were capable of.

So here is the first one.

was presented with the Novice Student of the Year Award for BJMA East Coast on Saturday night, and was a very worthy recipient.

In the short time Grace has been training, she has progressed tremendously, grading for her orange patch in Muay Thai on the weekend as well.

And, she is planning to take the leap, and join us on the BJMA Thailand Training Tour in 2027!

Congratulations Grace. We are very proud of you, and can't wait to see what the future holds for your training!!

Get in touch with us to organise your FREE TRIAL CLASS, and who knows, you may be backing yourself, and making progress in leaps and bounds, just like Grace.

An absolutely MASSIVE night last night with my dear friend Kyoshi Matt Ball in the house taking both monster Muay Thai and Krav Maga sessions.

A packed house, with lots of visitors from other BJMA and associated clubs coming and joining in on the fun, mixing it up, sharing knowledge, and having a ball while doing so.

It was so amazing to see the energy in the rooms, and the vibe just had me smiling from ear to ear the whole evening.

Thank you so much to everyone that came and supported the seminars, made the effort to step out of their comfort zone, be vulnerable, and learn something new. As I have always said, you will not get all the answers in your own four walls, so get out there, and see how much knowledge you really can grab.

Zen Do Kai seminar is tonight, so looking forward to that as well.

Good work Backing Yourself Humans.... 👌👌

Our adult Muay Thai group last night.

The whole class was hectic, but the group in the first pic got a big push last night. It was non stop, and they got worked... Heaps...

And, some of them didn't like it..

But I told them about halfway through, that they forget how well I know them all. I know when they are redlining, and I know when they have more in the tank.

So if I am telling you to push harder, keep going, and give me more, that's because I know you have more to give, and I can see it there, even when you can't.

So as I said to them more than once....

Let.... It... Out...

Because in 30 years of doing this, the goal has always been the same. Show ordinary people what they can really do when they back themselves, and believe.

And if for a while they don't believe in themselves, that's ok... I'll take over, because I'll never stop believing in them.

Next weekend, these kids and others get to show themselves more than anyone else what can really be done, when you really do believe, and back yourself.

Let's do it kids.
