Ramadan message day 17

Before an important competition, we sharpen our focus.
Ramadan is entering its most important phase. The final stretch is approaching.
Now is the time to increase our effort and prepare ourselves for the greatest opportunities ahead

Today was my last time teaching at Al Qawi Self Defence.

Over the last 7½ years, many students have come and gone. Some of you have been with me since day one, and it has been a real honour to be part of your journeys. Seeing many of you grow in confidence, discipline, and character has been one of the most rewarding experiences for me.

This was not an easy decision, but sometimes change is part of growth.

I am now focusing on my own Taekwondo/Kickboxing club — Pil Sung Combat Taekwondo.

Lastly, thank you to everyone who stepped onto the mat with me. Teaching is never just about techniques or drills — it’s about the people, the friendships, and the lessons we learn along the way. Wherever your martial arts journey takes you, keep training, keep improving, and remember that the discipline you build on the mat will carry you through life.

Wishing you all the very best.

- Sensei Shakil Miah

Ramadan Message – Day 16
The middle of Ramadan can feel tough, and we may feel like slowing down.
But this is no time to taper — we’re approaching the championship rounds.
Stay focused and keep pushing.

Ramadan Message – Day 15
Even while striving, we can sometimes fall short.
What matters is recognising it, regaining focus, and making up for what we missed.
Just like in training, we adjust, reset, and keep moving forward.
Which is why today you’re getting two reminders — Day 15 and Day 16!

Dont do it..
Don't think it wouldnt be you the one who would crash.
The ones who did crash and faced horrendous consequences also felt the same

Keep safe, keep Eid halal and blessed

Ramadan Message – Day 14
Losing momentum? Ask for consistency and renewal.
Just like in training — when we turn up despite not feeling it, it always proves worthwhile.
Keep showing up.

Ramadan Message – Day 12
Time is passing, and so is this great opportunity.
We don’t know if we’ll see another Ramadan, so let’s make the most of the one we have — just like we make every training session count
Sensei Arif Kassam

Ramadan Message – Day 11

At this stage in training, we stop just going through the motions and start refining our technique.

Ramadan is the same. It’s not only about doing the actions, but improving the quality — more focus in prayer, more sincerity in our intentions, more awareness in our behaviour.

Less autopilot. More purpose.
