Hi all,
its great to finally have a chance to blog after coaching my butt off for the end of 2010 with sold out courses in Adelaide and Sydney, the success of Thump courses interstate and Paul’s big knockout at Knees of Fury. On a personal note the business of the Christmas and New years period has finally settled down enough to be able to reflect a little on the end of last year, to relax, reenergize and to refocus on setting goals for having a bigger and better 2011. i hope this finds you well. Apologies for taking so long!
Whilst i worked purely on Paul’s hands (boxing) for his main event against Andre Meunier from Ultimate Gym in Melbourne he never really needed them on the night as you can see on this clip from Youtube. Fortunately i’m not in any of the clips for long (you will see me up against the ropes in a few as i was helping Jeremy from Riker’s gym in the corner that night).

Towards the end of last year we ran a few sold out Level 1 instructor courses with an absolutely fantastic bunch of people. The single biggest thing i enjoy about the courses is spending time with genuinely nice folk-and without all the elitist, chip-on-the-shoulder, over opinionated and judgemental rubbish thats carried on by some of “the other guys” in the industry. Just a great bunch of people trying to be better people and coaches. So thank you guys, as always its been my pleasure to coach and train with you.
Here are a few pics from both Adelaide and Sydney.

Well that’s it from me for the moment. I will be back shortly with dates for upcoming Kettlebell courses around Australia (maybe even New Zealand), Krav Maga fundamental courses in Adelaide and for the first time a 12 week Flowfit course (Flowfit was created by the inventor of Circular Strength Training, Dr Scott Sonnen.) Some of our young amateur fighters will step into the ring for the first time at the end of February, one of our instructors will be off to do the Krav Maga Global CIC instructors course, and i will be heading to Isreal for the Expert level camp/grading at the source of Krav Maga and hopefully heading to Europe to achieve the RKC 2 and spend some time at VOS and Team Mr Perfect (Ernesto Hoost) Gyms in Amsterdam to name a few personal goals this year.
I should also tentatively have some articles finally published either in Inside MMA or Blitz in the next few months, but in the meantime check out the March copy of Black Belt Magazine with our Krav Maga Global Chief Instructor Eyal Yanilov on the cover.
Hopefully this year i will find the time to write some more training and science based blogs for you all, to finally get all this material in my head gained from the last 13 years of solid full time training, studying, and certifcation courses onto paper so to speak. ( I personally think all these guys that spend all day on Facebook and blogs surely arent busy enough training and coaching 
)
So until the next blog, I hope you have all set some solid goals for 2011. Think big. A lot of people will make New Years resolutions that will never reach fruition because they require one thing-ACTION. Don’t sit on the sideline this year wondering why everyone around you is achieving their goals and you are not. This year is YOURS. Take it by the horns. Life rewards effort-not excuses.
I want to wish you every happiness and success for 2011. . Now Go and Kick Some Ass.
Matt
