James Sheedy Personal Defence Studio

STRENGTH IN A DECISION
When the alarm goes off at 4.30am on a cold wet winters morning, you make a decision. Will I or won't I. It’s a decision that our morning crew make 3 times a week. Whilst the thought process is made due for different reasons, the outcome on how they feel after training is the same in one. This morning was a perfect example.

MEET JOHN BIASETTO
John's started training with me when he was 25. Now 65 years of age and a 3rd Degree Blackbelt, he's still training, learning and growing, and setting his sights on a 4th Dan Grading. He lives at Stanwell Tops an hour out of Sydney. He drove up this morning to train for 2hrs, then returned this evening to train again tonight. Congratulations John on what you do and what you've become

THE WEEKLY ACCOUNT IS NOW OPEN ✏️
What a night for this crew tonight. It was on from the start and went hard for a solid 2 hours. Faces tell the story. Well done to them. It’s important to test yourself regularly. Not for any other reason but to feel alive.

JUJITSU SEMINAR
A massive shot out to TACTICAL JUJITSU with Professor George Adams and his Students, John and Tim Ellis, and Lisa for coming and teaching us their art. 3 hours of "rolling" was a perfect insight and a wonderful celebration of the legacy of Soke Richard Norton.

YOUNG GUNS 💪🥋
They started when they were 5, 6 and 7 years of age. Now aged from 13 to 16, Oliver, Kyle, Josh and Ashton have trained most of their lives in our Martial Arts system, becoming good supportive training buddies when the training sessions and Gradings have been tough. It’s definitely had a positive impact on their physical structure, their strength and high standard skill abilities. What’s more important though is the confidence and self assured young men they are becoming, setting an excellent example for others to follow..... And of course the "guns" competition that’s started between them 🤜🤛

THE WEEK THAT WAS
It was all about detail after our Gradings last week. A small snapshot of the 26 sessions we hold in a week. Leo age 5 received his Yellow Belt. Billy joined our Blackbelts this morning, and some video of some drills through the week.
