RichNRoberts Perth Seminar 2017Perth 12 August Saturday

RICHARD DIMITRI & CHRIS ROBERTS

Featuring:

  • "The Shredder"
  • Ground Defence
  • Edged Weapon Defence 

The mission at SAFE International™ is to teach real self defense skills to as many women, children, and men as possible (from 12 years of age to 82 years of age). Unfortunately we live in an increasingly violent society, SAFE™ wants to share their knowledge and experience with others throughout Canada, the United States, and globally. SAFE International™ has set an ambitious goal to teach 500,000 people by the year 2020, and they are well on their way. They are continually expanding; offering new and innovative services within more geographic boundaries.

Now that they have become the chosen experts in the field of personal protection in Canada, SAFE International™ has expanded to offer their services in the U.S. and internationally. The goal remains the same, which is to be a leader wherever they go. From the humble beginnings standing in front of a class of 20 young women, to the tens of thousands they have now taught, the focus is still the same… “Empower people to save their own lives!”

@ COMBAT ARTS INSTITUTE OF AUSTRALIA

FIRST SESSION: 11AM-3 • SECOND SESSION: 3:30PM-8:30

Both sessions $177 - One session $107

Not All Arts Were Created Equal

The other day I saw a fantastic quote by Boxing legend George Foreman:
"Boxing is like jazz; the better it is, the less people appreciate it”
 
As a person who spent most of his life working as a professional musician as well as studied music quite extensively, I connected with this instantly. 
 
When I shared this quote on social media, a large number of the people who responded were musicians. This was to be expected, seeing as they probably related to Jazz being a hugely under-appreciated genre of music, often only truly understood by other musicians.

It also made me think of the recent speech made by Meryl Streep, where she famously said that ‘Mixed Martial Arts… are not the arts’. It made a lot of people in the martial arts community – practitioners and fans alike – angry at the fact that another artist (and in fact one of the most decorated and celebrated artists in recent history) made such a claim.

Was Streep correct? If so, what’s the difference between sports and arts? At which point does one become the other? Can they overlap? What about combat sports and martial arts, can those questions apply to these two as well? 
What, in a bigger-picture sense, is art?

I want you to go through the following exercise in your head:

Imagine you’d spend your 20 years training in a martial art with the belief that you’d be able to defend yourself, but have never tested it out under extreme or real conditions or outside of your dojo. Imagine you would then have someone challenge you to try it on a fully resisting opponent, one whom you don’t know and does not respect you and your martial art. You try it, and it doesn’t work. Not even close – you get your butt kicked thoroughly.
Alternatively - imagine you’d been training to compete in a tournament, and have been beating everyone in your class easily. You arrive to the tournament and your opponent, someone who is less experienced than you, beats you comprehensively in no time at all.

Are you on the path to mediocracy or excellence?

A while ago I discussed the ‘Dojo Syndrome’. I received some very positive feedback about the first three articles (you can read them here, here and here), with many instructors saying ‘this is exactly what happens!’ and had a few requests to post some more tips. I hope this helps you with your training!
