Turning your health around with Arakan Martial Art

My Name is Lyle Wayne Davies, I am 54 years old

I started my journey in 2015.

My journey started when I shared some medical results with my son. I had been diagnosed with cirrhosis of the Liver, ultimately if untreated it would lead to further health complications and diminished quality of life. I asked my doctor what was the cause, I was told it was related to me being over weight (Girth Size). I asked what treatment I needed. I was told "Just lose weight".
I spoke to my family about my condition and what the doctor said. My eldest son , who also does Arakan, said "I have just the thing for you".

My first experience with Arakan was at a bring a friend night with the Master. My second was with Jono. I attended my complementary with Jono at Helensvale. That day I had 7 teeth removed. I didn't want this to stop me from turning up for my first lesson. 14 months on and I have lost the weight I needed to, thanks Serps/Corey. I had my annual medical (in June 2016) and have been given the all clear.

Initially all I wanted to do was lose the weight, I got a lot more.

Since joining Arakan I have lost weight (not sure how much but took 65mm off my waist), Improved flexibility, fitness, durability, humility.

I understand that Arakan is a Martial Art, but I have seen positive changes in so many family members and friends because of those precepts and principles taught; more as an extension to the self defense that Arakan offers.

My wife, Jane, has seen the results of my Arakan experience. Jane has started her own Arakan journey. I can see the difference it has made in her already.

I am grateful to our son for recognising a need and caring enough to share Arakan with us.
I didn't know anything about Arakan prior to my son starting his Journey.
I am grateful to Rob for the Legacy he is creating and would be honored to share my own experience.

Martial Arts as a Lifelong Journey

Most people see martial arts as something you “do.” You join a class, you train for a few months, maybe a few years, and eventually, life gets in the way. For many, it becomes just another phase - like going to the gym for a while, picking up a sport, or trying out a hobby.

But true martial arts isn’t a phase. It’s not something you pick up and drop. It’s a path. A lifelong journey of growth, discipline, and discovery. And once you step onto that path, you realize there is no finish line.

Becoming the Strongest Version of Yourself

Every man wants to be strong. But strength isn’t just about how much weight you can lift or how big your arms are. Real strength goes far deeper. It’s physical, mental, emotional, and even spiritual. It’s the ability to handle whatever life throws at you - with power, resilience, and clarity.
In your 20s, you’re at a crossroads. You’re setting the foundations for the man you’ll become. You can drift through these years, chasing comfort and distractions, or you can use them to build yourself into the strongest version of who you are meant to be.
