Many instructors substitute training time for teaching, it is inevitable to a degree what with super busy lifestyles but in my opinion a fit, healthy instructor is a sharp instructor on the mats, so stay on top form, practice and set a good example to your students
After a super busy 6 months of none stop organising events, teaching and training, Master Swift has officially announced some of the big names who will be teaching at this years 2017 black belt camp in Newport South Wales come October –
Master John Swift (obviously!)
Mr Aaron Gassor – GNT Ginger Ninja Trickster

Ever been in awe of Bruce Lee’s step through side kick in Game of Death or Van Damme’s jump spin hook kick in Kickboxer? … yes me too, in fact who hasn’t, it was amazing!
Bruce Lee without doubt inspired a generation, or 2, of martial artists and he was renowned for stating that ‘basics work best’ and of course ‘boards don’t hit back’ ha ha
