#farisalievski    Gas Mask Philosophy I have shared this  with so many people... It has brought me tears witnessing  realisation that immediate powerful  action was needed to halt  a downward spiral to  burn out and worse. Yes I am telling you to put you first. Love your kids? Then put yourself VERY first so you can give them your VERY best you wish for them... Be it in a plane emergency or in Life  YOU must put yourself  first in order to help those you love. You should Be in the best mental, physical shape of your life and so too your finances... YES  put YOU first otherwise  you fail  others when YOU are needed most!

What is the culture of our school? The KMA Culture is immersing yourself into, and living The KMA Lifestyle...  Ok, now what is The KMA Lifestyle?  The KMA lifestyle is living YOUR dream.  Living life to it's fullest. Living Clean, Fighting Dirty. Striving to be as healthy and fit as you can, while balancing that with knowing that life is short.  Never being a bully, yet never letting anyone take your lunch money.  Being smart enough to know that you, and only you are responsible for your safety, security and comfort, yet being humble enough to admit that no man is an island.  Knowing that no matter how busy, or stressed you are,  there is always time to help an old lady cross the street or patting a dog, enjoy the journey.  Train super hard, for we are the protectors of ourselves, our families, and most other people in this world, who are just too weak and lazy to be KMA Mat Monsters.  Make time to spen...

Why KMA Martial Arts is the Best Kids activity for kids. The Three Words of Success Here at KMA Martial Arts, we live by three simple words –  " Yes I Can".  Throughout all of our classes, all of our programs, and all of our interactions with our students,  Yes I Can is at the forefront of absolutely everything that we do and everything that we teach.  These three words are the most powerful tool that a child or an adult can use to help them accomplish their goals, to overcome any obstacle, and to face any challenge with the focus, determination, and confidence needed to succeed. Today, we’d like to invite you into the three words of success by filling you in on what it’s all about. Eye Contact There are 4 parts to the Yes I Can structure to help you ensure that your child is immersed in the Yes I Can attitude. As part 1, we’d like to introduce you to  Eye Contact .

However, some may give up hope and put this goal aside because of the stress and sacrifices which come along with being healthy and fit. However, some people use creative and manageable methods, such as martial arts to help them achieve their goals. Here is an article on how to get fit using martial arts https://goo.gl/1aqjgC www.MartialArtsForLife.com.au

Bored is an excuse.. It's an easy  way to blame others  for your personal  weakness providing  a reason to quit. Take responsibility for  not having the grit to persevere & succeed. The word "bored" is a cop out &  should be banned! KMA Kids link

I will pull my child out from martial arts to study! Wow.. I cannot tell you how many times I have heard this over the years  and its flawed on so many levels. It will give  them more time to focus ? Absolutely not! Your child is not going to study  from the moment they get home to the time they go to bed. They will not study  all weekend either. They will be less tired? Energy  builds energy. Fitter people are not only stronger they are more focused and mentally tougher. Click on the YouTube  clip and find out more.. https://youtu.be/BDZnR2OG8r4 www.MartialArtsForLife.com.au

The power of martial  arts is just amazing ... My oldest  student to test for black was 69, now a 2nd degree we call him Super Mario and is well into his 70's. On the other end how young is too young? Mikalya appeared on national tv and there is no one more confident  and motivated tgan this young girl.. Check out the YouTube  clip where she performed  without hesitation. All children have amazing potential , all they need is the opportunity!

Be it marriage  equality, climate  change, coal fire  power stations , immigration to name just a few  topics of enormous debate currently.. My hope is with this and with any discussion though  that friendships  are not based on everyone  agreeing all of the time. It would  be terribly  sad if we get to the stage no one one comments and no one  opens any discussion  in fear of disagreeing. Agree or disagree  we are so very fortunate  to live in an amazing  country  where everyone has every right to disagree within  the boundaries  of the law  without fear of being  ostracised or even physically  being beaten ... Food  for thought... Wishing everyone  peace & respect...even if I may not  agree with you  lol God  bless

#1 Fallacy Pulling your kids out of martial  arts will give them  more time  to focus on study and school? As well  intentioned parents maybe  this  is the biggest single mistake any parent could make without a doubt! It's well documented  the benefits of good exercise...martial arts takes that exercise to another level developing habits for  life such as Focus, Discipline  and the "will" to succeed! Yes  they need to "harden" up. Do you not think  your child  needs these attributes  to succeed academically? After 41 years of teaching I have zero doubt the the best students  in martial arts all became great students  in study..its No coincidence A good martial arts school is part of your child's  study  success formula www.MartialArtsForLife.com.au

My motivation? If you are motivated solely by money you are in the wrong business! I worked 4 jobs for 12 years to ensure my family are ok and I can enjoy my martial arts guilt free and ensure there is never any money pressures at the school. I never wanted to look at students as $$$$$ For the first 6 years of me running my own school I did not see a single cent..more often than not I paid the rent out of my own pocket and even got a loan on behalf of my instructor...I did all that I could for him as a loyal student. I never want or expect that for my students and have always offered to pay. Yes I do want more students and that's not because I want more money but simply because after 34 years I love & believe in what I do! I had someone say to me the other day they have made a lot of blackbelts for me....wow Firstly you got paid and getting a black belt is all about the student not me, am I wrong? Money is important but not more important than people .. Not more importan...

 " I raised 4 kids in one room.   Today My children now have 4 houses but do not have a room for me "                                Translated the message is clear. ..more respect for our elders is needed. Have times changed the value of elders , the value of family? It's why I love the martial arts as Respect & Loyalty to family are not only taught but promoted first and foremost. I just dont' see schools teaching such values and as such the role martial arts schools play in everyday loves is becoming more &  more important

I don't  want to watch matches where fighters are so afraid to lose they avoid the fight or simply hold and stall with no plan or motivation to take the fight to them. I love it when MMA fighters or when two BJJ competitors with the potential and ability to put on a hell of a show deliver and really do amazing stuff..everyone congratulations the loser as much as the winner!  So if you are going to compete then dam well go for it!  Losses happen like it or not so let people see what you can do. It's an old cliche  but it's so true  "fortune favours the brave"....  You will create more chances and you will win the crowd and feel so much better knowing YOU gave it your all. I teach my students to believe in themselves and conquer  their fears...in every fight and in every day of their lives. There is nothing worse than choking with fear and not letting fly with your abilities; deciding your destiny and the result is so much better t...

For every champion there is someone training to dethrone you.... I as many am still in shock Rousey lost but this girl did not just appear out of no where!  I am still a Rousey fan and am sure she will soon be preparing to do what was done to her, the challenge of competitive sport is beautiful and will bring out the very best for us to marvel and enjoy. Check out the video and we can all only image the work that went into getting into the cage let alone winning click on the link https://youtu.be/Gap-rM4CbLc

Everyone at UFC193 stood up for a minute silence in support of Paris. ...sick extremists do not represent any religion or people, they have no place in our society and will never win.

I love the competitive sport.  of MMA... .. I may not like the result always though but thats as the say is the challenge of this and any sport. One thing for certain the nasty side of people comes out the moment someone is beat or down. Disappointing aspect of what sadly has become the norm of modern life, for me the disgraceful comments written by so many and the so called funny Memes are a reflection of the lack of values and certainly for mine mean one thing ;    No Class!

My 33rd year of teaching and its wonderful that not only our students love KMA but the very many living legends from across the globe are more than happy to visit and endorse all that we do and offer.... Liverpool City's No1 Martial Arts School So many have visited KMA and they all loved it! www.MartialArtsForLife.com.au

This would have to be the biggest excuse in world...actually it's more than an excuse,it's a lie! What is eating your time? Every minute you waste is a minute you never get back..so you are either a master of your time or a time waster. Last but not least you do not have to go 100 km's an hour or jam pack your day to make the most of it, in fact I do the opposite. " Master Fari why do you walk so slow" my young student stated...why do I walk so slow? It is because I do not want to hurry and miss anything! Control your time, make time...avoid the phrase "I don't have time" Those that don't have time will soon realise THEY don't have time to accomplish everything they choose to accomplish in life.  www.MartialArtsForLife.com.au
