ISKA ALL MALAYSIA INSTRUCTOR RESULTS

I just got a SMS from Mr. Alvin from Borneo Combat Gym and was noted that the ISKA ASIA result for the Malaysian Instructors have been confirmed and the result is out!

Wes Jaya Muay Thai seminar at K.K.

Wesley Wayne Jaya (AKA Wes Jaya) is a Muay Thai CMTA Lightweight Canadian 2007 - 2008 Champion ; a CMTA Junior Welterweight North American 2007 Champion; and no stranger in the Malaysian Muay Thai fight scene.

My RED DRAGON Thai Pads & Mongkhon.

I was at the Wes Jaya seminar last Saturday & Sunday and will put the post up soon. In the mean time, I'm happy to receive 2 special gifts on Saturday.

The 1st being a pair of "RED DRAGON" Thai pads given to me by Master Khoo Meng Yang of TNT Kickboxing gym. Mr. Alvin who came from Labuan to accompany Wes Jaya brought and presented them to me on behalf of Master Khoo.

We were at Borneo Post!

A quick update on a few matters:

1stly thank you, to some of the martial artist around Malaysia for responding to my call of compiling a "martial art directory" in this blog!

The GOOD news is: I got alot of info in my database.

The BAD news however is: The page "Where to train" actually crashed a few times as I typed in all the address & link out. I do not know why this happen but for now you can see I had to cut out the images & basically need to rewrite everything in simpler fashion. Until  found another way around this technical problem / bug... I will do it in a proper format.

Recap: 2nd day during ISKA Level 1 Exam.

On the 2nd day of the ISKA instructor course, you could feel it in the air the slight tension & nervousness of all the participants. It's the exam day & you could see from some of our eyes the "burning the midnight oil" effect.

Day 2 saw Master Khoo asking us to take over class as he watched silently & reviewed each of our teaching methods. Each of us were given a shot at taking over the warm up class, bag work session & kicking drills.

A shout out to my gym mates! Also a big THANK YOU to Master Khoo Meng Yang for teaching us so many things, our host Mr. Alvin Chong of Borneo Combat Gym & to all the friends we made during our seminar! 

Will post more stories on a later date! For now, I'm just so happy that we got this cert & that will take this as a challenge to improve to be a better instructor!!!

Day 1 ISKA course @ Borneo Combat Gym with The Red Dragon.

Nazim, Ronny & I got to KKIA airport as early as 6:30am today. Our flight to Labuan was a short 30 minutes & Master Alvin Chong; owner of Borneo Combat Gym was already waiting for us by the gates of the airport. We decided to go straight to the seminar and check in to the hotel later.
