So, for the first time in over 2 years the Kicking and Stretching workshop is back!!

I know it’s short notice but here we go… in 2 hours I’m going to condense every training and stretching trick in the book. How to maximise stretching performance, speed development, timing, accuracy, power and more! It’s $60 for the day, starting at 11am this Sunday 6th June.

The money raised will go to the wreaths we get for Jonny’s Day. 

I spoke to the President of the Commando  Association yesterday who will be holding a memorial as well. They weren’t going to until they found out that we were. They want to do it at a specific Commando site in Martin Place. I politely declined. We are not doing this because Jonny was a Commando or Special Ar Services, but because he was one of us – a Martial Arts brother and friend.

See you on the mat.

Red Boat Kung Fu Referral Program!

Your commitment to your training and loyalty to our school is amazing and we want more dedicated people like you. There is nothing more encouraging to an instructor than someone who puts in the work. We would love more members just like you.

People generally associate with people that are just like them, so we are asking you which two people do you know that would greatly benefit from joining our club?

What if they just needed a little nudge to walk through our doors?

What if they are interested in BJJ, Kung Fu, MMA or even martial arts movies and are quietly curious about training but just didn’t know where to start?

We have a gift to give that may just encourage them, and you will benefit by enhancing your friendship plus if they use this gift, it gets reboxed for you to use too!

If you have two friends we have $100 Kung Fu Dollars to give them… $50KFD each.

They can use this money to spend on any services we offer. That could be put toward their first membership purchase, or toward a private session, or one of our 6 and 12 week challenges.

When they spend their Kung Fu Dollars, that $50KFD is then re-gifted to you! There’s no limits to what you can use this re-gift for. You could put it toward a new uniform, sparring gear, merchandise or membership fees. Totally up to you! It’s our way of saying thank you for spreading the word about our martial arts academy.

Choose your two friends and have a chat with Amy about claiming your $100KFD today.

Friday 6:30pm class: continue working on set ups, getting hands and feet moving and sparring full kit at the end.

Saturday: 9am Conditioning, 10am Wing Chun, 11am Kids Kung Fu.

See you on the mat!

Morning all!

Tonight’s 6:30 Wing Chun class with Vadim is working on close range weapons: knees, elbows and the clinch.

9am Saturday morning with Frances is a Hero workout in honour of our Anzacs.

11am Saturday is the return of Kids Kung Fu classes! This is going to be a big term for the kids as they are all prepping for their next grading which will be at the end of the term in late June.

Being the beginning of term it also means term fees are due. Thank you to all the parents so far that have arranged term fees online, it really helps us focus on the kids rather than admin on the day. It’s extra helpful for this weekend too, as annoyingly enough, I won’t be there! If you missed the link to online registration here it is. If it’s not allowing you to submit the form it’s usually one or two checkboxes haven’t been ticked – they’re very easy to miss. There is also room to add your Active Kids Vouchers, I will adjust your total once you submit the waiver for review.

Sifu and I will be at a Kyokushin training camp tomorrow to do a BJJ seminar so make sure you have a smashing workout for the 10am!

Sunday is ANZAC Day. BJJ class is officially cancelled for the day, but some of the guys and girls may want to come in for a roll. If this is the case, please ensure you observe one minute’s silence before commencement of your training. If you’re not on the BJJ Facebook or WhatsApp group chat let me know and I’ll add you. If anyone plans on going in, that’s where you’ll hear it first.

Have a fantastic weekend everyone!

See you on the mat.

Do not miss BJJ tonight!

Why?

Well, it’s not just because you will miss out on some crazy good coaching from March.

You will also miss out on having a farewell roll with Pete! 

Pete is migrating north…it’s sad for us but great for him and his family. He’ll still be around though! There’s a Gold Belt on the horizon for him! However, tonight we will be wishing him well for his ventures up north.

So come along! Even if you’re not that into this BJJ business. 

See you on the mat.

Hi guys!

Hope you all had an amazing Easter. We were pleasantly surprised with the fantastic turnout last night! Numbers can drop off a little this time of year (Easter/School Holidays) but you guys smashed it! We’re seeing great evolutions in everyone’s skill set too, so well done for all of your efforts.

The next Tips Grading is coming up (Saturday 17th April) so let’s stay on track on focused. We know that there are quite a few of you that wanted a little extra time, well it’s now 10 days away! Let’s see some names down for grading tonight.

The Butterfly Sword Workshop has been pushed back to May 2nd which is a Sunday, and will start after BJJ at 11am. The cost is $149 for members (no training weapon) or $199 for members for a training weapon included. Non members add $50 to either. You can book and pay by clicking this link. 

Don’t miss tonight! Sifu will be running through some new knife fighting defence tactics! And the Beginner’s Course starts anew at 7:15pm

News on the True Boxing Tees: we have placed the order, but they cannot start production until 14th April. So the pre-order period has been extended. Get your orders in to take advantage of the discounted price! We have also added kid’s tees to the mix! So kid’s can get their pre-orders in now too!!

See you on the mat.
