A special thank you to all those who came out to support Kombat Arts’ first annual golf tournament. Despite losing a ton of balls, a few clubs and witnessing a few temper tantrums (Kevin Nabbie) the tournament was a great success.The weather couldn’t have been more perfect, besides the fact that about half of the people had a hard time hitting the ball, there were a lot of laughs, and it was a lot of fun. Next year we will have a larger group and more people to joke around with. Thanks again for those who helped support our Canadian athletes going to Italy for the Thai boxing world championships. Piks to follow soon! -James Bailey

Unless you checked out the workshop hosted by Kombat Arts Mississauga. Robert Schinke was on hand to share some cutting edged techniques to advance your mental tuffness game. Some of them may seem common sense (yet they were great reminders) and some of them were pretty damn awesome. I would get into it but Salar does a better job describing the workshop. Check out his brief write up here. Don’t worry we will have Robert back! Thanks to all of our friends that supported this workshop-Jd
If you have not read about this event in the Mississauga News, read about it in the Guardian News. Kombat Arts is more than fighting, fitness, and self awareness; it’s also about giving back to our great communtities! Jd
Come and train at this great seminar with Professor Salem Assli.

Come and train with one of the world’s experts in these hidden martial arts gems-Jd
Kru Mehdi (the guy doing a Muay Thai camp at Kombat Arts) mailed us some nice Thai boxing shorts and K-1 style shorts. Come by and check out some of these sweet shorts-Jd
If you’re interested in defending your car, you must take Linda’s RAVEN women self defense course on July 13 (ignore the date on the site) at the Kombat Arts Mississauga. Seriously, all joking aside you should take this seminar if you’re a female and if you know any females in your life that value their life. I say “value” your life because most people value their car and house more than their life. Take a few minutes and think about that. We invest more time and money in our house and car and pay less value to our personal health and the ability to defend ourselves.
Just because you take martial arts does not mean you know how to defend your self. That is a total myth. Martial arts can be practiced for sport, health, fitness and war. Self defense will teach you how to be assertive. How to identify possible threats, and no it does not have to be the guy hiding in your backyard, it can be someone you know! Self defense involves knowing your legal rights, how to possibly verbally diffuse an attack and as a last resort, physically defend yourself. Not with “sporting” martial arts techniques, but with techniques that are aggressive in nature and allow you to escape.
If you’re interested in being assertive, confident and learning about verbal and physical self defense, take this course. If you’re not going to do it for yourself, at least do it for your car-Jd
