Student Profile - Dean Mayer

OCCUPATION: Acting Lecturer (Film and Theatre)

WEEKLY TRAINING CONSISTS OF: 1 private lesson, 1 group training, 1 shared private and the Invite class with Rob

WHY YOU STARTED TRAINING: I started training because I wanted to be able to keep fit, learn how to fight and also to be able to move for film. I also wanted to work on myself rather than just my body, and I believe martial arts does that.

WHY YOU ARE STILL TRAINING:: I love the journey. I enjoy training hard so that if a dangerous situation comes up, I can deal with it in a decent manner, and not be frightened

MOST MEMORABLE ARAKAN MOMENT::Getting punched in the face by a "club idiot" (Trainer) in the Sin City Nightclub seminar. It make me realise you must keep going and finish the fight or else someone else will.

ARAKAN GOALS: I am looking forward to grading first up. But overall, I would love to be able to have a greater understanding of the art and the connection to my body. I know only years of training will suffice to make an impact of achieving this goal.

GENERAL COMMENTS: I thoroughly enjoy the training, even the conditioning, haha. Being around like minded people with similar goals makes it interesting and exciting. I really enjoy Arakan! Thanks to all the trainers that have help me in one way or another.

Building Unshakable Confidence

Confidence. Everyone talks about it. Everyone wants it. But very few people know how to truly build it.
In your early to mid-20s, confidence is everything. It shapes how you show up at work, how you handle relationships, how you interact socially, and even how you see yourself when you look in the mirror.
The problem is, a lot of young men go searching for confidence in all the wrong places - in social media likes, in trying to impress people, in pretending to be someone they’re not. That kind of confidence is fragile. It crumbles the moment things get real.
Real confidence isn’t about faking it. Real confidence is unshakable because it’s earned. And one of the most powerful ways to earn it is through martial arts.
Let’s break down why.
