INSTRUCTOR TESTIMONIALS

Being an Arakan Instructor has changed my life in such amazing ways. At school I was unsure about what I wanted to do but I knew in my heart that there was something out there for me to make a massive impact on. Not knowing what path I wanted to walk down, my subjects at school were Baseball, Health physical education, Marine studies, Hospitality (I nearly burnt the building down so I soon realised that cooking wasn't my thing), Maths and English. Upon finishing school, I worked as a dishwasher at a Chinese restaurant and then moved up in the world to a trolley boy at Pacific Fair Shopping Centre.

I've now been training Arakan for over 15 years and teaching for about 10yrs. During these years, Robert Kyaw has been my teacher, my mentor and my life coach, he has helped me develop into a strong confident man.

I feel I have a second family now and the brotherhood I have with the other Instructors is amazing and I am truly grateful.

3rd Degree Senior Instructor Josh Grimsey

Instructor since 2003

I remember from my very first complimentary lesson that I wanted to teach this amazing art. That first moment when I hit the pad and I felt like my light was turned on from within.

Being an Arakan Martial Art® Instructor is a privilege granted to a few. I have always lived with the philosophy of being of service to others and in what greater way can one be of service, then to be an Arakan Martial Art® Instructor.

Our Chief Instructor Rob is an incredible mentor. I’ve had the privilege of Rob being my mentor, spiritual teacher and Chief Instructor over the past few years and I've never met anyone who is so aligned with their purpose and mission in life. Not only does he teach us this amazing Art, he also guides us on running a successful business and how to live the best life possible.

I feel blessed to be able to teach this amazing art and as an Instructor I see firsthand how it transforms lives. Arakan goes beyond the physical, it’s not just about striking and kicking; it transforms one physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. Arakan teaches one about themselves on a deeper level. Through Arakan, students get to connect with their body, mind and soul and through this practice you can honestly achieve anything in life. It raises your vibration.

As an Instructor I see students develop a greater sense of self, their self-confidence rises, awareness heightens, empowerment strengthens, and they achieve their goals both in life and in training. I watch my students do things they never believed possible, with guidance and coaching. That is the greatest reward an Instructor can have and every day I am inspired by the amazing students that I get to teach and train with.

This journey is not for the faint hearted, it is the warrior way. Being an Instructor will challenge, excite, motivate, inspire, empower and humble you and is one of the greatest privileges you can possibly have.

I believe my purpose is to empower women, to help them live to their greatest potential and I have the great privilege of doing this through Arakan Martial Art®.

Being an Arakan instructor has been the most rewarding career choice I could have made. I have been a student of the club since 2001 and an instructor since 2010. I can honestly say I enjoy going to “work” and getting up in the morning is easy when you have amazing students to go and teach. I have personally gained so much in my own self development and can easily present who I am to a wide variety of people. I am in the best shape mentally and physically I've been in my life and continue to get better each year. My family and friends also can see the positive impact being an Instructor has made in my life. Also being able to see the same change in so many students gives you a sense of contribution to purpose higher than yourself. I get to live my passion and get paid in doing so.

I left school with the ambition to be a chemical engineer, life did get in the way and I never finished my course. I had a long list of employment from security guard, bar tending, forklift, warehousing supervisor, technician, car parts interpreting to name a few. I wasn’t challenged and had no sense of purpose in any of the roles. I was a student with the club through it all and when asked for the opportunity to become an instructor I knew I was far from instructor material but it was the one thing in my life I was always passionate about and I had to take the opportunity. I learnt so much of how to bring out the best qualities through the instructor development course and my years of teaching to where I am today. I have all the skills and tools to achieve all I want and life is better every year.

Senior Instructor Anthony Forrester

Instructor since 2010

It was evident to me early on that Arakan provided massive opportunities for me, wherever I decided to start my instructing career. After deliberation, I decided to follow the path and move to Melbourne from the Gold Coast and share Arakan with as many people as I could in my new found community.

Back in 2012 I did an introductory lesson and in that hour I knew I was where I was meant to be. At the end of the next lesson, the instructor told me he had been training for 10 years and in my head at that time I said to myself, if I can keep training for 10years then maybe I could teach this art one day. Every week I had this thought that this is where I should be and I love it just a little bit more every week.

My instructor always believed in me and backed me every step of the way, no matter where I was in life. He always taught me that I could achieve any goal and never judged or doubted me. I knew it wouldn’t be easy but no matter what I had to do, I knew I was 100% willing to do it.

I had seen Chief Instructor Robert Kyaw at many seminars and I knew he could teach me much more than just fighting. The first week of being in the Instructor Development Program I could tell that was very true. The things I learnt in the Instructor Development Program is impossible to put into words, I’ve become a stronger, happier and better person. I started teaching in 2016, I quit my job the day I became an instructor and have never looked back. Every week just keeps getting better and better. Master Rob, the Arakan team and all the students have become a part of my family.

As Chief Instructor Robert Kyaw would say, “How does it get any better than this?”
