THE CHARACTERS 🥊 — MEET KENNY

Every gym has people who inspire you, and Kenny is definitely one of ours.

Kenny was born with polio, which has left him with very limited movement in one arm and weakness in one of his legs.

But if you think that’s going to stop him training, you don’t know Kenny.

He trains hard. He pushes himself. He adapts when he needs to, finds a way when something is difficult, and just keeps going.

He’s incredibly tenacious, remarkably fit, and underneath all that determination is one of the most likeable people you could hope to have around the gym.

What I love about Kenny is that he doesn’t need anyone to feel sorry for him. He just gets on with it.

Some techniques are naturally more difficult for him. Some movements have to be adapted. But he turns up and gives everything he’s got.

And that’s something martial arts has taught me over the years: we don’t all start with the same body, the same abilities or the same challenges. What matters is what we choose to do with what we’ve got.

Kenny has the heart of a lion. 🦁

I’m proud to train him, but I’m even prouder to call him one of The Characters. ❤️🥊

PROTECTION OR EGO? 🥊

Sometimes the strongest decision a man can make is not to fight.

Protecting the person you’re with isn’t about proving how tough you are. It’s about keeping them safe, keeping yourself safe, and getting everyone home.

I taught this lesson many years ago — and what happened to one of my students just a week later made sure I never forgot it.

There’s a big difference between reacting through ego and acting to protect.

Real strength isn’t just knowing how to fight.

It’s knowing when not to.

The teep front kick is a very powerful weapon. Try this defence and let me know what you think.

When training pads try to make it as close to sparing as you can without the contact. Get your partner used to moving different directions, leaning back, ducking, slipping, keeping Range, keeping distance and concentrating for the whole time. Great way to get fitter and more responsive.

More than just martial arts … it’s a community.

One of the things I don’t think people talk about enough is everything that comes with training.

Yes, you’ll improve your fitness and learn real-world self defence, but you’ll also build confidence, reduce stress, improve your self-esteem and become part of a supportive community that wants to see you succeed.

There’s something incredibly empowering about knowing you can take care of yourself while training alongside great people who encourage you every step of the way.

If you’ve been thinking about starting, this could be the perfect opportunity.

Basic Self Defence. Learn how to keep your hands up, cover yourself and hit impactful. It’s very important to learn how to get out of certain techniques but it doesn’t mean a lot if you can’t hold your hands, up so Practice with someone if you’re not getting yourself to a class.. have a great day!

Someone mentioned this could hurt your knee, which is a good point.

Though done properly, it won’t.

But more importantly, real situations aren’t perfect.
Be mentally prepared take a knock.
The priority is getting home safe.

It’s not always about striking.
Sometimes control is the smarter option.

Create the reaction → slip → takedown → control.

Most trouble doesn’t start with violence… it starts with ego.

Road rage. Arguments. Someone says something and you feel like you have to respond.

That’s how people lose control.

Anyone can fight. That’s easy.

Real strength is staying in control when someone else is trying to take it from you.

Simple wall takedown.

You don’t need complicated techniques when it matters. Positioning, balance, and control will always beat overthinking.

This is why we train for real situations — keeping it simple, effective, and under pressure.
