Victory Martial Arts & ATA Sydney (by Fighting Fit Martial Arts Centre)

A PERSONAL MESSAGE FROM MASTER INSTRUCTOR, WAYNE ABBOTT, TO THE MEMBERS, FAMILY AND FRIENDS OF FIGHTING FIT MARTIAL ARTS CENTRE.

"I invite you all to join my family on the martial arts journey I started 35 years ago. "

In 2011, I celebrated 30 years of Tae Kwon Do instructing and 35 years of training in the martial arts. During that time the industry has continued to change with new martial art styles emerging. These changes continually influence the modern martial artist and cause schools to update and improve their offer to members regularly.

Movies, television and the internet have made martial arts a part of everyday culture with increased access and information sharing. At Fighting Fit Martial Arts Centre we continue to evolve our programs each year to meet the needs of our members and keep pace with the modern martial artists.

We feel privileged to have experienced the development of Martial Arts in Australia and helped shape martial arts in the community so that it has become a very real fitness choice. Some years ago we branded Fighting Fit Martial Arts Centre, ‘Australia's Best Defence'.

The message will mean different things to different people. Defence against, bullying, obesity, but one thing is for certain, 'Australia's Best Defence' for ourselves and our children is the investment in time and effort we make to train in a diverse and inclusive environment to become better people.

Today, the branding means even more! Martial Arts is no longer just for self defence - it's a means of personal development and fulfilment, and a real fitness and lifestyle alternative. Fighting Fit Martial Arts Centres offer a very exciting range of programs for all ages. Years of study and experience have evolved into age specific Martial Arts and Taekwondo Programs and teaching methods. We value education and the supporting structure of One Body, One Mind, One Spirit -One Martial Art into a healthy lifestyle.

Our Team of Instructors are of the same mould and strive to inspire students with enthusiasm and a hunger for continual self improvement in their martial arts journey. What we have learnt most of all is that learning and performance is based on a strong link between physical skills, intellectual skills, emotional skills and social skills. The synergy of the four skill areas is reflected in our specific Martial Arts programs developing students to reach their full potential.

As well as Tae Kwon Do, Mixed Martial Arts, Ladies Fitness Kickboxing, and Extreme Performance Martial Arts programs, we have One MA, the supporting structure for fitness programs based on continual improvement including; Training and Personal Development through our association with the National Association of Professional Martial Artists, (NAPMA) and the Martial Arts Industry Association (MAIA), and Extreme Martial Arts (XMA), Words 2 Action Speaking, Working @ Schools, Team Demonstrations and hosting Little Ninja Birthday Parties.

Fighting Fit Martial Arts Centre is full of new opportunities for members and the instructor team. The future direction of Fighting Fit Martial Arts Centre will take us along many challenging, exciting and creative paths. We cordially invite you to join us on a journey that will enhance your lifestyle. Make a choice to include Martial Arts as part of your life today.

Yours sincerely,

Wayne, Karen, Savannah and Jared Abbott.

FROM HUMBLE BEGINNINGS.

Fighting Fit Martial Arts Centre officially opened September 2001 in McGraths Hill, NSW, Australia. The founding master instructor is Wayne Abbott, a former police officer of 8 years. Wayne has over 35 years of martial arts and self defence experience, he has cross trained in various martial arts styles including Judo, Tae Kwon Do, kick boxing and grappling and he still actively teaches to students each week.

Wayne began training in martial arts at the age of 11, starting with Judo and then Tae Kwon Do where he trained with former Korean army major and Vietnam War Veteran, Master Chong Yoon Rhee. A strong believer in the personal benefits of martial arts, Wayne went on to open his own martial arts school in 1985 at the local community hall.

In the late 1990's Wayne took a short break from instructing to focus on family and business commitments but couldn't stay away for long. In 2001 Wayne began instructing again;

"I actually started again for my own children" said Wayne,
"My 6 year old daughter who was in year 1, was having some difficulty with reading and writing. After a little research we found her school learning issues to be related to retained reflexes. "
"One of the best things a child can do with this issue is martial arts as it focuses on revolving around and crossing the centre line of the body'"
"The results after 6 months were fantastic, with her reading and writing skills improving dramatically. My daughter is now an 'A' grade high school student. "
"The other reason I got started was to give my 4 year old son something to do. Martial arts are a great activity the whole family can do together. "
