Martial Arts Industry Association

Hello everyone,

Just a quick first post to introduce myself.

After a brief stint at a Moo Duk Kwan school, I began training in Ninjutsu in 1986. I'm now running a small school in Sydney's inner-city which is affiliated with Wayne Roy. I regularly travel to Brisbane to train with him and, with some other Instructors, host his seminars in Sydney.

I've also trained and taught in dojos overseas as well as participated in a broad range of seminars and classes here in Australia, including AMOK, Senshido (Richard Demitri), R SULTS (Deane Lawler) and Tactical BJJ (John Will).

I hope this forum grows and look forward to participating in some good discussion. I particularly like the 'real name' rule, it should cut down on the usual bs.

With respect

Hi Dean,

From reading through the forum so far, I notice many people asking who the moderator on this forum is. (Also note the moderator has avoided answering this question so far....)
A simple google search ofthe admin email address clearly shows it is Ron Goninan "baihe@bigpond.com".
I hope that clears things up for everyone so things can now move along nicely.

Hello! :}

My name is Madeleine Kelly...my full name is a bit long and there's a character limit on the username so I can't put it in, exactly ^.^'

I'm learning Kung Fu and Jyu-Jitsu from my father and a good friend of mine, so I can't exactly say where my accomplishments lie. 0.o' I may end up asking some silly/numbskull questions so if that happens I apologise in advance. I look forward to participating in the forum, however. Situated in the Brisbane area.

Hello Madeleine and welcome to the forum!

I hope that you will join in discussions or start a few of your own.
