Recently Leonie and I were in Australia attending the Martial Arts Industry Association (MAIA) conference where I had the privelage to listen to some great inspirational and informative lectures by other successful martial arts school owners from around the world. It was during one of these lectures that Fariborz Azhark from Team Karate Centers, Los Angeles presented a set of questions that he teachs his students to ask themselves and to reflect upon when making a decision. Just ask yourself: Where am I? What am I doing? Is it real? These questions, based on Zen principles, have far reaching benefits that transcend the martial arts training and provide you with a tool to use in all aspects of your life. They also demonstrate how training in martial arts and developing the mental discipline that they offer can significantly affect and change your life for the better, giving you greater focus and resilience to achieve whatever goal that you have. It doesn't matter what martial art you practice; Muay Thai kickboxing, karate, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Philipino Stickfighting or Kung Fu. Style is of no consideration, it merely requires that the school that you train at, and that you personally embrace the personal development attributes that come from healthy self esteem and confidence building. These questions give you a great set of tools to add to your mental discipline toolbox. "The questions which one asks oneself begin, at least, to illuminate the world, and become one's key to the experience of others." There aren't any embarrassing questions - only embarrassing answers.

...The whole point of this is to say that without you guys I never could have done any of this and my life would definitely not have been as rewarding as it has been.
Win or lose MMA/BJJ has taught me to aim high, never give up and that every problem has a solution and for that I'm forever grateful.

Everyone should know how to defend themselves. You will definitely learn these abilities at the Academy of Combat. Don't hesitate start today, you will not regret it when the situation arises when you have to defend/protect yourself.

...I would recommend this course (N.A.S.T.I Self Defence) to everyone, male, female and child alike, as it covers a range of scenarios on multiple levels.
I found it to be invaluable towards my attitude to the way I live and go about my life; where once I froze in the face of fear, I now don't give it the time of day.
