Prize Giving in Kenyan Street Kids Home, Berur - Joel Songok, Fighting for Lives January 2012

What a great way to kick start our charity work for 2012! Joel took over the prizes (4 customised Fighting for Lives backpacks) and wristbands (for all kids) to the Berur Street kids home which were awarded to the kids who had worked the hardest at capoeira/sportive activities, music/art/singing, academic studies and at being nice/helpful to others. Congrats to all the kids there and it was great to see the pictures and footage from Joel's visit. We are still collectingto build a new home and have set back 6000 euros (we need another 19000 euros to complete the home). Below are some pictures - I'll add the video footage once I manage to convert the files to something easy to edit - Parvez

Paul O'Leary - Rebel Martial Arts - World Fighting for Lives Weekend 2011

RETURN TO MAIN LIST

Paul o'Leary has been involved in the martial arts for over 25 years. he has spent much of that time training in Tae Kwon Do, he has also trained in Kung Fu and Hapkido. Over the last 15 years he has become more and more involved in the world of pressure points (kyusho jitsu) and alternative uses for movements in patterns of Tae Kwon Do & Karate etc.

Through training with Prof. Rick Clark of AoDenkouJitsu, Paul has grown his knowledge in this area and has been in demand to teach seminars to Tae Kwon Do, Karate, Kung Fu, Ju Jutsu and more stylists. In Ireland and the UK.

Having worked in the Door Security and In House Security for a number of years, Paul found that the usual training in Traditional Martial Arts could not always be relied on. Through the training and drilling of practical pattern applications in the pursuit of effective self defence and control for security work, the S.H.O.C.K. Tactics program came into life.

S.H.O.C.K. stands for Security, Hazard, Observation, Control, Knowledge. It also is a reference to the shock that a person might feel when hit on a nerve or pressure point.

Classes are aimed at both Civilian and Security/L.E.O. persons.
