Jiu Jitsu is for everyone
Jiu Jitsu is not fur everyone.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu has techniques for everyone regardless of your height, weight, sex, age, strength, fitness and any other attribute you can think of. Yet Brazilian Jiu Jitsu isn't for everyone because what is required to achieve that is hard work, determination, drive, and dedication. Daniel is someone that has what it takes and he doesn't let his Cerebral Palsy hold him back. He refuses to take the easy way and has demonstrated skills suitable to his physical characteristics to earn the first stripe on his white belt. Looking forward to sharing the journey with him.
Invigorate your Recovery
Thank you to Invigorate High Performance for coming out to Kings Academy and providing free treatments to our students and fighters. We look forward to having you back in the New Year. If you need a treatment make sure you go see them and tell them Kings sent you!

Time to rest and then start again next year.

Interview with Chief Instructor Elvis
Thank you Roll or Die Podcast for interviewing Chief Instructor Elvis and the opportunity here about his history.
Whoooaaa! This guy, Elvis Sinosic has faught (just to name a few), Michael Bisping, Alessio Sakara, Forrest Griffin, Evan Tanner, Tito Ortiz, Frank Shamrock and heaps of others. He's also gone to battle for his community in the world of politics. There's so much more to discover, and we need to get him back on for round 2. Regardless, he's as down to earth and fun as you could want as a guest on our show. Please enjoy every moment :)

Southern Fighting Championships
Congratulations to Akol on a great performance in his exhibition Muay Thai match at Southern Fighting Championships. Never stop sharpening your tools!
HEX FS 24
Well done to Coach Olivia for giving it her all in a tough fight at HEX. Sometimes you have to accept the small victories along with the lessons when you don't achieve your goal. Olivia's striking on the outside was much improved landing the cleaner more effective shots. When she committed to the takedown, she demonstrated how hard she is to stop. The other parts we'll work on improving to bring up to the level of these skills. We know Olivia is already planning her training strategy and we'll be here to support her moving forward. We can't wait to see her next fight and the improvements she'll make.
BJJ Open Rolling
After our BJJ classes on Tuesday and Thursday night we have Open Rolling for our members who can keep rolling until 10pm. Even if you miss the class you can pop in and jump on the mat for our Open Rolling. Keep rolling and keep improving.
SMITH VS UKMAR is set for HEX FS24
Good luck to Coach Olivia fighting at HEX FS24
"Olivia Ukmar boasts an incredible amateur record and looks to translate that into her professional career with a win over Alish!"

Well done to Jason, Akol, Martin and Tamer on their wins. Great work by Hank, Todd, Chris and Mark on gaining valuable experience with some of the results not reflecting their performances.

We are BACK!
As of Monday October 11th we will be open again. See below for our member notice on how we will be moving forward.
Dear Member,
After over 3 long months we are excited to FINALLY announce our reopening on October 11 – and wow, have we missed you all! We are so excited to get back to Kings and see all our awesome members again! We know we’ve missed all our members and the great training.
While we’d love nothing more than to see everyone in the gym training, in accordance with the directive of the NSW government, they request that only fully vaccinated members 16+ years and staff return initially. Children under 16 are of course exempt from this requirement.
We know the vaccine isn’t for everyone, however in order to operate, we are required comply with this mandate. The good news is from December 15, 2021, we expect everything to return to normal, so we look forward to seeing everyone then. *Subject to public health Order
Here is the link to the Government requirements, please ensure you’re familiar and following these orders. We do not take responsibility for anyone who may not be aware of the rules: https://www.nsw.gov.au/covid-19/covid-safe/gym-indoor-recreation
What you’ll need to do:
1. Face Masks at entry when checking in to club. If you have an exemption and don’t wear a mask, we will respect your privacy. We request that if someone enquires about your mask that you inform them that you have an exemption. We ask members to respect other members and leave compliance to the staff.
2. Check into Kings Academy at the entrance.
Check In via the Service NSW COVID Safe Check-In. COVID Safe Check In can be done in two (2) ways:
• Use the QR Code displayed at Club Entry (Smartphone Users)
• Sign in process at the front desk (Non-Smartphone Users)
3. Have available your COVID-19 Vaccination Record or Medical Exemption if requested.
For more information on How to Get Your COVID-19 Vaccination Record visit Services Australia.
https://account.service.nsw.gov.au/
Payments will recommence on Friday 15/10/21 or 22/10/21 (back to your normal billing cycle). We would like to thank those who supported us while closed. If anyone is concerned about returning to training or is unable to attend for any reason, please contact us and we can freeze your billing for up to 3 months at no charge. Send an email to contact@kingsacademy.com.au with your details and request.
Thankfully, given our club is very open and spacious, we can easily accommodate up to 20 people per class, with multiple classes, and up to 200 people in the gym at any given time. Rest assured we will be following the strictest of safety measures and cleaning protocols so you can continue to train with confidence.
For the safety of our members and to comply with government restrictions, we will have the following requirements in place:
1. No visitors or spectators permitted in the gym. To ensure we are not over capacity, only members attending and training will be permitted into the gym.
2. Parents can drop off and pick up their children from the car park, but we ask that if you wish to wait, that you do so in the comfort of your car.
3. Classes will be limited to 20 students (14 students for Yoga) so please make sure you check into your class via the Whitebelt app prior to attending. We can run multiple classes simultaneously so don’t be concerned about missing out on your class as we have sufficient space and instructors to comply.
4. We are following all the NSW Government requirements and will do everything we can to ensure your safety in returning to training, so please don’t be concerned.
5. We ask that students leave discussions about the current COVID climate for outside the gym. We respect everyone’s thoughts and opinions, but we’d like to focus on training as it’s been over 3 months and we think focussing on the positive is the best way to move forward.
6. If there are any changes to the government restrictions we will let you know via our website news page, https://www.kingsacademy.com.au/news, email or SMS. We’re hoping to see more lifted sooner rather than later.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us via email or SMS – we’ll do our best to get back to you as soon as possible.
Yours in good health,
Kings Academy of Martial Arts

New COVID Policies
Hey guys we are now required to have a COVID Marshall on site. They will be wearing lanyard and/or a hi-vis vest. If the Marshall asks you to do something please do not argue and ensure you do as requested. Their word is final.
We are also to ensuring that we are adhering to the capacity requirments and we will have signs up indicating how many people are permitted in each area. Please ensure you adhere to these numbers. If the area is full please do not enter the area.
We also ask that members don't loiter around before or after their classes. I know we have always encouraged socialisation before and after class to develop our community but due to COVID reqruirements we're unable to do this at the moment.
Class attendance. Now at the start of each class the sliding doors will be locked. Anyone coming late will be required to wait at the door to be processed by our COVID Marshall. If you turn up more than 10 minutes late you won't be permitted to do the class. Please make sure you turn up on time.
We understand this may cause some inconvenince but we hope you understand and follow our requests. We do our best to ensure yours and our communities safety.
Regards,
Kings Academy

Once you login, please double check your information, making sure your address is current, as well as phone and email address. For some members you will need to fix your date of birth as well.
Parents can book in for multiple children without having to login and out of different accounts, if you have any issues with it please let me know and I’ll try correct it. As this system is new for all of us please be patient, as everyone familiarise themselves with it.

Mandatory Closures
https://www.pm.gov.au/me…/update-coronavirus-measures-220320
Due to the newly imposed government regulations Kings Academy will be suspending all classes. Following the announcement by the Prime Minister last night, gyms and indoor sports facilities will be required to shutdown until further notice.
Kings will be monitoring the situation closely and as soon as legislation to operate safely is in place, we will let all our members know. We will be sending out information to our existing members regarding their memberships via email/SMS/Facebook to provide them with options during this period of closure.
We will also be providing online content for our all our members during this time. We will contact our members directly with the details once our online content is available.
We hope all our members and family are safe and healthy and remain so during this difficult period.
Coronva Virus Update
Here at Kings we have been watching the situation carefully and paying attention to government recommendations.
We recommend that members remain home and self isolate if they have been traveling, have any symptoms of illness, live/come in contact with the elderly/infirm or if they have any concerns over transmission. For our members who stay away from training we will be providing live access to all our classes via the Zoom app and a link will be provided each day in our private group so they can still stay up to date with our instruction. Follow this link to setup an account https://zoom.us/ and then install the app on your phone or login via your computer.
We will continue our high standard cleanliness by cleaning the mats daily and even doing so multiple times a day in between sessions. We have touchless soap in the bathrooms, touchless hand sanitisers by the mat (a requirement for entering the training area), touchless soap & hand sanitiser upstairs, Deodorising/Sanitising spray dispensers in the bathrooms, overnight Ozone treatment of the whole facility.
We suggest all members take the time to review their diet, a healthy diet provides a healthy individual, look at recommended supplements to improve immune health, drink plenty of water, and follow good hygiene habits. As we have always said at Kings, if you look after yourself, you look after your training partners.
If you have any questions or concerns please come up, let us know and speak with us in person.
Regards,
Elvis Sinosic

Overnight Celebrity
Tom has recently become and overnight Social Media celebrity. A video he was featured in has gone viral across the BJJ Social Media community. The video show Tom competing at a recent Grappling Industries BJJ tournament where he put his opponent to sleep with a NoGi Baseball choke. This shows the amazing versatility of BJJ when a person, in what appears to be an extremely disadvantageous position, is able to snatch victory with a skillfully applied submission.

EMR Tek
"Red light therapy is also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT). It uses low-energy light emitting diodes (LEDs) or lasers as an alternative therapy for pain relief, or to promote good cell functions. In contrast to high power lasers which can damage tissues, certain wavelengths of lasers are effective in applications such as speeding up wound healing, reducing the symptoms of restless leg syndrome and lowering pain in diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis."
Check out this review on the EMR units and the quality of light output etc. Worth taking the time to watch.
