Dear students and friends,

As you would all be well aware by now, the Government – both National and State – have imposed a lockdown of non-essential services including gyms effective of midday today. We kept our doors open for as long as we could but today they must close. From what was said last night – regarding reviewing imposed sanctions every month – it is safe to say that we will be closed for at least one month, may be more.

Obviously we don’t want this, but we didn’t want this pandemic either! And we must do what has to be done to work together for the greater good.

We are humbled by how loyal and giving you have been – it will be remembered – and we will make every effort possible to ensure our doors open again once this is all over, and during this lockdown keep the information flowing using Facebook and Red Boat University and other measures to, but if you have to suspend your membership we do understand – we don’t know what hardships you are going through. Please advise us via info@redboatkungfu.com if you cannot maintain your membership during this time.

Please join our live feed (not always live) on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/504266926925852/ We will post training sessions for you to do at home and use it as an open platform to share training tips. But please use it to post your training sessions as well, so we can see what your doing and coach you from afar. For the kids we will be doing the same, so parents/brothers/sisters please join our Kid’s Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/groups/106457386174383/ both groups are private so only members can view your posts and the members are only current students.

During this time we will also be directing our energies on the Red Boat University including the addition of a Kid’s program and membership. So watch this space for updates and specials for Red Boat University.

I am going thru the entire grading structure at the moment to cull some things and reinforce it with more up to date material i’ll keep you posted..Also i will be introducing a fitness test system for all levels performed 1 month prior to grading this will ensure you are ready and able on the  day !!..The tests themselves will be gleaned from the fitness tests of elite fighting forces such as the SAS…Navy seals…Commandos and more … And will become progressively more challenging as you move up the ranks this will also ensure the highest possible standards are being met …Also dont forget the 500 challenge ….500 rounds of sparring  in a calender year all sparring contributes to this chi sau sparring , cross arm , hand fighting ..fingerless gloves , 16 ounce …So all rounds must be timed !!… Okay thats alot to digest

…See on the mat tonight for True Boxing!…

Greetings and salutations..As we put 2019 to bed there are a few things that ive been reflecting on from this year ..Firstly thank you all for your efforts from white belts to red belts and everyone in between you make the mat an amazing place to be and i am very grateful …Congatulations to everyone who gave it there all during the last grading very proud and a big shout out to Zac who did it tough but shone on the day he now joins a very exclusive club …On the day we had some of the original wild bunch attending and they were suitably impressed  ..For me personally its all been about injury management and finding a way forward …So far so good …For the school its been a great year as we fulfilled our mission of going old school and embracing our roots …Next year more of the same …Looking forward to next year we will  be perfecting our dirty boxing skills and embracing true boxing for which i have developed a full 12 month program for ..a perfect complement to our Wing Chun…Also taking our clinch game to a new level is a very exciting prospect..
