First, a quick note from Sifu: if you are missing gloves check the spares shelf, as any found on the mat after training end up there. Or if you’re missing your belt please ask as Sifu may have stored it in his locker for safe keeping (especially black+ level belts), so please ask if you are missing anything.
Spartan Fitness & Nutrition course starts THIS Sunday. If you want to develop and understand the best eating and training habits specifically for you, that you can take with you for the rest of your life, then this is the course to do! Allow 2-2.5hrs for this Sunday to allow for fitness test, body composition analysis and body type & diet assessment. Only 1hr for the consecutive Sundays is required. You are however, expected to check in with us (via text) every day, so this is a 6 week daily commitment from you and us. For Red Boat students (including your friends/family) course cost is $199, non-RB students cost is $299. Get your names down asap!!
One of Sifu’s very first students (Ricky Marrandino) is in town for 2 weeks of training which is coinciding with the instructor/school owner gathering on 23rd – 25th February. Schedule for the gathering will be released very soon, but expect much training to be had that weekend!
The first John Will’s BJJ seminar is year is on Sunday 4th March at 9am. He’s only here twice a year now so make the most of it! Cost is $90 per person (which is a crazy good price) and friends from other BJJ schools are welcome!
First grading for the year is the Autumn grading and will be held on Saturday 10th March. The new (returning old) sparring requirements are not yet in full flight, there is still some tweaking to do to the conditions and is too soon since everyone was notified to begin enforcing them. If you are planning on grading however, we expect to see you in on as many Monday & Wednesday 6:45 sparring sessions, or Friday lunch sparring. If you’re having trouble making these times and want to grade, let us know.
Lastly, we are very happy to be offering a special membership to our front-line service men and women. If you work in the police, ambulance, fire or armed services or know someone who does please enquire today about our Red Line membership.

Introducing our new fitness & self defence program for the over 55’s on Tuesday and Friday mornings at 10am-11am run by our very own Frances Straumietis.
When Frances turned 50 she decided she wanted to make a return to martial arts (having enjoyed practising some Tai Chi in her 20’s), so took up training in Wing Chun at Rick Spain’s Red Boat Kung Fu in 2005.
In late 2006 Frances was diagnosed with breast cancer, her first thoughts were to keep herself fit as much as she was able. So, while going through a year of Chemo and Radiotherapy treatment she kept up with Wing Chun. Her recovery and overall wellbeing during and after that time has not only kept her well but has seen her condition improve.
Since overcoming cancer, Frances has achieved many things. She is a 3rd level Wing Chun Master, Purple belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and a qualified Sports Coach. Frances currently teaches 3-5 classes a week, trains up to 4 times a day and keeps up with (and often surpasses) her fellow younger students in fitness and endurance – she is a true inspiration. She has been working privately with students 55yrs+ and it’s wonderful to watch the transformations that are being made.
The Turn Back the Clock program is for the over 55’s who are feeling that second wind and want to try something new to get their bodies back in shape.
The classes are kept small – capped at 10 participants – to ensure quality attention is given to everyone in the class.
If you are interested in trying it out you can book in for one FREE lesson.
Prices are $20 per class and can be discounted if you pay for 12 upfront.
One on one sessions are available by appointment only and cost $50 for 45mins.

Kids Kung Fu classes make their return tomorrow at 11am. We hope you have all had a fantastic break and look forward to a fantastic year of training with you all!
It is a new term, so as usual term fees are due. To keep our price per term at such a low price, and to work with the needs of parents to be flexible we have 3 pricing options now for you.
You can either:
Pre-purchase a casual visit (or several) for $18 per class – [hc-hmw snippet=”Child-Casual-Visit—Purchase”];
Or, if you know that your child can attend only every second weekend you can pre-purchase the Child Term Half Pass (5 classes) $75 – [hc-hmw snippet=”Child-Term—Half-Attendance—Purchase”];
Or, if the Child Term Pass (10 classes – $100) has been working for you, then you can still purchase this option – [hc-hmw snippet=”Child-Term—10-Pass—Purchase”].
If your child does not use up all their classes on their pass they will no-longer carry over to the next term.
We appreciate that as a parent you are managing possibly many activities for your children and hope that this helps you in choosing a suitable membership for your child, while enabling us to continue providing this service to you.

Hope you all have been training hard and smart. We’ve had a great start to the year. Lots of new members so be sure to say hello to any new faces on the mat.
Please remember! We welcome all people of all levels of experience and inexperience, so bring friends or family along for a trial class on Saturdays (or any day really) – no need to book. We also have kids under 12’s on Saturdays at 11am (starting again on 3rd Feb) and teen 12yrs+ on Mondays and Wednesdays from 4pm starting again next week.
Besides the seminar on Sunday 4th Feb (details below) here are important dates over the next couple of weeks:
Tues 23rd 5pm – Girls Sparring Class (Girls BJJ class will be next month) Looks like we’re going to have a great turnout so far! Sparring with the guys is actually quite fun, but standing in front of some skilled dude 20+ kgs heavier than you can be pretty intimidating especially while you’re finding your feet! Even for the more experienced of us, pulling off takedowns can be challenging with that kind of weight differential as well. So having a sparring class for girls only is a pretty good idea!! We’ll cover sparring drills and skills, head movement, footwork, pad drills and some light sparring. Hope you all can attend! No Josh Smith…you cannot.
Tues 30th 6pm – Seniors Class (Black Belt and above) all instructors please do your best to attend. Sifu will be covering coaching essentials such as how to plan and execute a Wing Chun class, so if you have questions, get them ready. More of what he has planned will be updated next week, but there will be a Wing Chun by request segment so think about techniques, principles or drills that you would like more understanding about.
Seminar Sunday 4th February 10:30am The Winning MIND:
A detailed study on the processes of elite performance athletes and how you can tap into your most valuable asset: your mind.
We have all witnessed when an athlete seems to punch above their weight, or out strip their apparent physical abilities. Invariably it’s the mindset that makes the difference.
This seminar will explore what makes them different and how to apply these unique skill sets to your own game/life.
At the end of the day you will have the unbreakable confidence that no one can negatively affect -not even you!! The motivation to push toward your destination regardless of any hurdle or obstacle you may face. The concentration to block anything that is not enhancing your purpose. The ability to achieve “flow state” at will, in essence, controlling time and space so as to experience perfect technique. And the organisational skills to keep powering forward – to set goals and create plans to achieve them and to understand the value of the feedback loop.
Please allow a half day for this seminar. We will also be getting advice from our own NLP Master Amy on how to fast track flow state, motivation – why it doesn’t always last and what you can do about it, moving beyond your limitations.
Welcome back everyone! We had a cruisy start to the year with just a handful of classes put on last week. Well done to everyone who came in, we had some fantastic workouts and some fun rolling and sparring sessions.
This coming week is full steam ahead. All classes are back on. Except for teens, they start next Monday and the younger kids start on Saturday 3rd Feb.
New format for morning classes starts tomorrow. This Monday & Friday 7am Martial Xfit class will start with a mobility drill routine that we will run all month, this week’s theme for the workout is strength conditioning then finishing with pad drills. BJJ Core on Tuesday will include stretching, core strength, curriculum drills and some light rolling if time and numbers allow. Forms and Chi Sau Wednesday is self explanatory however, if Amy is taking class we will work on correct breathing and energy for forms and work on double arm chi sau – if Sifu takes class Sifu will do what Sifu does!! 🙂 Finally Thursday Wing Chun warm up will be the mobility drill routine, this week we’ll look at Level 4 grading material and finish with light cross arm sparring.
Sifu’s overall focus for the school at the beginning of this year is fitness and conditioning, forms and chi sau. He will be talking about sparring expectations also – some old grading prerequisites are looking to make a comeback.
We want to know what your goals are for the year too, it’s our job to help you achieve them! So, if you want to have a chat shoot us an email or put your name down at the front desk and we’ll organise a time to have a chat with you and see how we can help you achieve them.
The school as a club has some goals too. We need to grow! So bring friends along to a class after or before work, or get them out of bed early on a weekend for a smashing Saturday workout. There’s plenty of room, the more the merrier. We have some great deals for new members at the moment – free uniforms, gift vouchers & uni memberships and benefits for you too for anyone who you bring in that signs up. You don’t need to ask us if you can bring someone in, we just ask that you try to get in 10mins early for that class so we can meet them.
Looking forward to another fantastic year of training with you all!!
