Welcome to the 2009 edition of the Phoenix Martial Arts and Boxing web site . This web site is designed and operated from Perth Western Australia.
This web site is designed for all styles Martial arts and Boxing both australian and internationally and as you will see we have invited instructors specialising
in specific fields of martial arts to cotribute to the web site.
There is no political or religious biases in this web site - as Martial Arts does not allow discrimination.
For the past 3 years I have been the producer for the radio station sportfm 91.3fm bringing to the public Talking Boxing and Martial Arts . This program highlights the very best of Boxingwa, its monthly tournaments, which leads young boxers into the State, Natonal and eventually to the Commonwealth and Olympic teams representing Australia.
Apart from this we have developed the Talking Martial Arts program - and for the first time the public became aware of the many Martial Arts disciplines, fantastic clubs available and how these clubs are run by highly professional instructors.
I have been involved in the world of Martial Arts from the early 70s. when I came in contact with Singaporean Martial arts people who migrated here to Perth , we were very young and Bruce Lee was in the forefront, everyone wanted to be like him, We had David Carradine in the TV series Kung Fu and again my friends and then our own children always were practising the Shaolin Kung Fu, but the best of course is the very early days when the TV had the Japanese series on the Ninja Warrior.
The Vietnam war again higlighted the significance of Martial Arts and how young Aussies learnt various methods of martial arts self defence, my father included who was a full time military engineer. A very good practitioner of combat self defence.
Studying true authentic Martial Arts techniques has become lost over a period of time as many of the Grandmasters have died and some of their their secret techniques disappeared as well.
Because of physical injuries that I suffer from - I still have done Boxing, Muay Thai and Bando and general personal training for some years. One must be aware of what style will suit you as an individual, because not everyone can take on any form of Martial Arts.
Women in Martial Arts, Boxing and General Self Defence Training is absolutely necessary especially in todays society and I encourage young woman to the very elderly to continually practise self defence as we are the best targets for attacks and theft.
Today of course learning and understanding the true meaning of Martial Arts and Boxing is a way of life where loyalty, honesty,self truth which leads one into a mentally healthy life style and practising your favourite discipline will bring peace in work and family life.
It is essential that our children have learnt traditional values.
I hope you enjoy this web site if you have suggestions please feel welcome to contact us.
