Youth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind. You are as old as your doubt, your fear, your despair. The way to keep young is to keep your faith young. Keep your self-confidence young.

A few team members fine tuning the tool belt tonight. If you use one tool to build a house, the house will be build inefficiently. There are many tool options to build a stable home from the ground up. In other words, there are better tools to use than a hammer to paint a wall. . . Muay Thai is an art of many tools. How, when, what, why and the way you use these tools all come into play when learning the art and furthering your study. .... . #system #house #toolbelt #skillset #metaphor #muaythai #kickboxing #boxing #finetuning #martialarts #growth #adapt #how #when See more

The Member of the Month of April 2020 is... Christian Salalila!!! . . We’re a little late on this and we couldn’t find a picture from the gym but here he is! The member of the month of April! Through the physical closure of our school we’ve been providing virtual Zoom lessons for our current youth and adult members. Although April was definitely a month of uncertainty... this is where fighters thrive! .... . Christian has not missed a zoom class since we brought the school online. Our virtual classes are focused on foundational technical skills, fitness and more. Christian has excelled in the Quarantine Competition challenges where he consistently beats his top scores and at times has the top scores for both the adult and youth teams. We had a burpee challenge for one of our competitions where students had to do continuous burpees for as long as they could. Christian had over 16 minutes straight of burpees along side his sister Adrianna. Adrianna received member of the month of January 2020. . . One of the qualities we believe is important for the success of any athlete is self discipline. Both the Salalila kids demonstrate this physically, technically and spiritually which is a product of great parenting! Congrats Christian! We look forward to watching your future achievements! . . #memberofthemonth #studentofthemonth #dohjo #selfdiscipline #muaythai #success #burpeechamp #quarantinecompetitions See more

Brother and sister working together! @trumpetjenn . . One of the BEST things I’ve seen come from Covid-19 is the acknowledgement of what is important as well as what isn’t. It’s brought our team closer together and I’ve seen some amazing growth in the art. It’s a pleasure to be able to be a part of moments like these and our teams adaption as a whole. .... .

The Member of the Month of March 2020 is... Mike Judson!!! . . Even though we’ve had to cancel classes for the time being, we know a lot of you have continued to work on your goals and be mindful of your health and wellness. Mike has definitely been one of those people! He has been consistent with the 30 Day @functionalpatterns myofascial release challenge we’ve sent out to members as well as keeping up with his Muay Thai technical training. .... . You may know @mike_judskin from the morning show he hosts with @milesgibney at @purecountry105 . It takes two strong people to continuously share updates on what our world is currently facing together. They’re two of the people keeping @ptbo_canada informed on the Covid-19 pandemic which I’m sure is not an easy task to speak about daily. Not only that, Mike currently owns the @thetwistedwheelptbo in Peterborough where they’ve had to temporarily close as well. It is a tough time for many businesses and people world wide. To say Mike is a warrior is an understatement. He is not letting these challenges knock him down or off course. He shows up for him self everyday, now more than ever and has even gotten his family involved. Mike doesn’t see these obstacles as bad, they’re just challenges. He has stayed true to his nature through the challenges and was one of the first to offer his help when our gym had to shut its doors temporarily. . . Congrats Mike. You earned this, we’re excited to see where your perseverance takes you and we’re grateful for your friendship! . . #memberofthemonth #studentofthemonth #dohjo #discipline #perseverence #entrepreneur #muaymat #habit #freedom #success #honesty #self #perspective #nature #functionalpatterns See more

WE ARE BACK! Tomorrow we will be going live with our virtual class schedule. All links have been emailed out to current members.

IMPORTANT COVID-19 INFORMATION: Unfortunately due to the Corona virus pandemic we have had to make a tough decision and will be CLOSED from March 16th-29th. We will be reevaluating what happens after March 22nd for our school when get more information on the issue. Our hope is to continue our regular schedule after this closure time. We will be keeping all members informed. This deeply saddens us to have to do this but our #1 priority is our students safety and health as a wh...ole. We know it is the right decision at this time. We understand that these are tough times for everyone. As of right now we will honour and extend all current memberships with our school. We will also be creating at home workouts to ensure everyone is keeping a healthy mind and body in these tough times. If any team member has any questions/concerns regarding their memberships please do not hesitate to reach out to staff at: [email protected]. Here is an update from Muay Thai Canada: Due to exceptional circumstances and the evolution of COVID-19 in Canada, Muaythai Canada is calling for the suspension of all club activities for a minimum period of two weeks starting today, March 15th. Updates to the recommended closure will be provided, and possibly extended as COVID-19 advisories develop. It is in considering medical recommendations and the close physical nature of Muaythai, that Muaythai Canada is issuing its recommendation to cease all training. These efforts are preventative, not corrective in nature, as symptoms of COVID-19 may not be apparent for up to 14 days an otherwise healthy looking individual may not be aware they are spreading the virus. We understand the exceptional hardship this places on Clubs and the uncertainty we all face going forward. Community and physical activity are essential to wellbeing, and we are working hard to find a balance between Clubs' business and protecting the wellbeing of our collective community. This was a difficult decision, but the declaration of a global pandemic and the actions of our governments have made it clear that to protect our community, we need to minimize physical contact at this time. Lastly, take care of each other; we all want our Clubs to be there when we come back at the end of this. We have seen the way clubs and members have supported another in the last weeks, and connections like these are what we need even more of in these isolating moments. Yours in Muaythai, Muaythai Canada Full Bulletin at https://muaythaicanada.org/covid-19-club-closure/

COVID-19 (Corona Virus) INFORMATION In light of the current outbreak of COVID-19, we want to ensure we are taking the necessary precautions to create a safe training environment at our school to minimize the spread of this and any other virus. We have committed to the following: 1. Increased our cleaning frequency to ensure we are keeping pads, doorknobs, mats, and bags as clean as possible. 2. Bathrooms are stocked with anti-bacterial soaps and we encourage members to wash ...their hands before and after each class. 3. Barring availability, we will have hand sanitizer and disinfectant spray available for use in multiple locations. We do currently have hand sanitizer! We ask that you commit to the following hygiene actions: 1. Wash and sanitize your hands regularly and limit handshakes as much as possible. We will simply bow at the end of each class. 2. Ensure you are showering after each session 3. Please clean the equipment you use with the disinfectant spray and towels. Our disinfectant spray is in its regular locations. 4. Please clean your training garments before every session which is already outlined in our gym etiquette. 5. Cover your mouth with a bent arm if you cough or sneeze 6. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth 7. If you have any symptoms of a cold or flu, let alone COVID-19, please STAY AWAY from the gym until your symptoms subside. If you feel healthy, please continue to attend classes and keep training. We will remain open and take the situation as it comes. Its important to eat right, get proper rest and generally stay healthy in order to maintain a strong immune system. Panic can also decrease the strength of your immune system. Its most important that we stay informed, up to date and remain proactive in order to maintain a healthy body and mind. We will continue to re-evaluate as the situation develops. Stay healthy and keep moving

The Member (s) of the Month of February 2020 is... Lily and Tyson Moir!!! . . The harder you work the harder it is to surrender. -Vince Lombardi. .... . Tyson and Lily both work very hard each class! Their discipline is shown in their results. Tyson and Lily went for their first grading this past weekend. They impressed Kru Mike with their technique, composure, insight, balance, concentration and more. The two ended up passing their second level on their first time grading. This doesn’t happen often but it is rewarded to those deeply dedicated to the art of Muay Thai, allowing their results to speak and through studying our system. . . Tyson and Lily are interested in competition in the future and are taking the necessary steps towards their dreams! Big shout out to their parents Pete and Julie who are amazing supporters of these kids. You two should be proud of these monsters! . . #memberofthemonth #studentofthemonth #temperance #discipline #habit #warrior #success #fighter #student #honesty #consistency #art #dohjo See more

The Member of the Month of January 2020 is... Adrianna Salalila!!! . . Arriving late was a way of saying your own time was more valuable than the person who waited for you. - Karen Joy Fowler. .... . Adrianna is the OPPOSITE of that quote! She shows up early for every class and helps out her little brother Christian who just started when he needs a hand. Christian, on a side note, is on his way to a future member of the month title due to his dedication to the sport! . . Adrianna has powerful kicks, a balanced fight stance and is always open to learn more. It’s important to have fun with our training yet remained disciplined! Adrianna shows a great mix of both with her main training partner Kedron! This is ALSO a shout out to Adrianna’s parents who also help make sure she’s on time and who have raised a caring yet strong person! Keep up the great work Adrianna and congrats on being the first member of the month of 2020! . . #memberofthemonth #studentofthemonth #temperance #discipline #habit #lifestyle #fun #success #fighter #student #open #punctual #time #respect #dohjo See more

This quote is one of my favourite quotes on the purpose of a dojo. It is actually one of the inspirations that led to our schools name! . . We have just finished another grading and it was an experience as always! Grading days are great days no matter the outcome. .... . Lastly remember we all have our own path to walk. No one can do it for us. The time and effort we invest into the art, in and out of the gym, can lead to us down an amazing road! Great work to all that participated and all that made the day possible! . . #goals #grading #experience #technique #understanding #continuous #education #choice #dohjo #cosmos #muaythai See more

A black belt is not something you wear. It is something you become. -Anonymous . . This quote is an important reminder of the purpose of testing. It is significant in the fact that reaching a new level is not something that you get but it is something that you maintain. It is truly something you become in the process. .... . Each level has a standard to meet which is outlined in our curriculum. With grading for our youth and adult members coming up this Saturday, it is important to believe in your effort, concentration, discipline, insight and your time invested in training. It’s time to show all of the hours of hard work! We look forward to testing day . . #testing #growth #grading #discipline #physical #technical #mindful #art #science #sport #muaythai #dohjo See more

WE ARE BACK! This weekend Kru Mike had the opportunity to coach at the Ontario Winter Games. The weekend was a great experience for both the coaches and athletes. The @wakocanada staff were incredible. Hats off to all of them for providing an organized platform of growth for all involved. . . Our personal favourite part of the weekend. OPENNESS. There was an overall openness to experience from both coaches and fighters. We all have an idea of how we do things, what we want/n...eed and how we want things to go. But the fight game is full of uncertainty and we are always forced out of our comfort zone. It takes true courage to be completely open in uncertainty. What we saw was openness shown in many forms. One and not the least of which was fortitude. . . A big congratulations to all those kids wearing their hearts on their sleeves this weekend, to the passionate coaches and the staff of @wakocanada for the continued push to be better as a collective. . . #teamontario #teamcanada #openness #experience #levels #growth #youth #competition #orillia2020 @ Orillia, Ontario See more

Continued from our previous posts! We’re acknowledging past or current pioneer members who’ve left their mark on our school & paved the way for future athletes. We are recognizing these students, athletes & leaders for the individual light they’ve shared with our community. . . The last two pioneers of our team are Jen Riel & Jeff Brown! There’s been some amazing moments that have happened in this place... these two meeting each other is definitely a moment to top the chart! .... . Jen Riel started training at with our team in 2015. She began her training with individual sessions with the intention to train for self defence. As Jen experiences more she desired to understand more. Curiosity is a sign of intelligence & an important quality in self growth. Jen then moved to our adult programs & has made her way to the intermediate classes! She’s reached the level of Blue shorts in our school! The next step for Jen was Muay Thai competition. She competed twice learning more about herself in each experience, putting in two amazing performances & remaining hungry to continue her journey. We’re grateful for Jen choosing our school & sharing her light with our team! . . Jeff Brown has been involved in the Muay Thai scene for over a decade & part of our school since 2013! He’s compiled about 40 amateur bouts competing against top competitors in the 165-178lbs division. He’s competed in top promotions across North America & is known for his devastating kick game. Jeff & Kru Mike have been long time training partners where their styles have always complimented each other’s growth. Jeff is a certified instructor, an insightful cornerman & all around great person. We’re grateful for Jeff’s insight, comradery & faith in our team. He’s been a valuable mentor for up & coming fighters at our school. . . These two are the last of the 10 Pioneers we will be posting but that does NOT mean there aren’t more honourable mentions. Each person who has ever spent time in our school has impacted it in some way. Our hope, whether you’re still a member or you’ve moved on, is that you know more about yourself than you did when you entered. If this is true, our mission is complete. Thank you! @ Peterborough, Ontario See more

Continued from our previous posts! This week we’re acknowledging past or current pioneer members who’ve left their mark on our school and paved the way for future athletes. We are recognizing these students, athletes and leaders for the individual light they’ve shared with our community. . . 8th up out 10 pioneers is Jana Ferguson! Jana was one of the pioneer female competition team members to compete out of our school. Her character consists of being a big team player and c...aring deeply for others. Her martial arts style was known as the Muay Mat style which was shown in her power striking and forward pressure. . . Jana has faced much suffering in her life. She is a warrior. She learns from experience and keeps her forward pressure. A warrior is both feminine and masculine shown in the qualities of will and power. These are qualities that assist to move through the pain. . . We are proud of you and wish you nothing but the best in life Jana. Thank you for your kindness, communication and friendship! . . #dohjo #pioneer #member #team #friends #family #community #muaythai #athletes #empathy #fighter #understanding See more

It natural to think that justice would decree that the skills you worked so hard to develop in the dojo would stay unblemished with you for a lifetime once you gained them - given that ownership came at such a steep price in sweat and effort. This is an illusion. Of all the things you own - your skills are the most perishable. Against an opponent of similar skill and experience - you are only as good as the last one hundred and fifty days of your training. Gaining skills is only the first battle - keeping them is a much longer and lonelier one. - John Danaher . . #martialarts #warriorpath #selfmastery #skill #talent #muaythai #kickboxing #boxing #thought #focus

The Member of the Year of 2019 is... Nida Uz-Zaman! This award is given to team members who have adopted the lifestyle of a martial artist, who consistently invest time to their individual journey and contribute to our community and the art itself selflessly. . . It takes real work to grasp what is invisible to just about everyone else. - Ryan Holiday. .... . Nida has been a part of our team 2 years tomorrow January 9th! She shows up daily to work on the art. To some, consistency is hard to understand. But it is easy when you find your path. . . Nida is a big part of our team. She’s present in the gym working on her skills and out of the gym participating in team events. She’s a team player yet also an individual. The two qualities are not separate. She took part in team events such as vendor day at Trent university, The Mudmoiselle run, Ptbo Pulse and more. Each grading we see a new level of skill displayed through all of her efforts throughout the year. This year she has her eyes set on her first competition along with many of our other amazing Dohjo ladies! . . We are grateful to have watched Nida’s growth in this sport and are looking forward to seeing her future achievements! We are proud of you Nida! . . #studentoftheyear #memberoftheyear #2019 #ip #stillness #consistency #growth #contribution #respect #picturetime #dohjo #muaythai #kickboxing #boxing #k1 #warrior See more

This week we’re acknowledging past or current pioneer members who’ve left their mark on our school and paved the way for future athletes. We are recognizing these students, athletes and leaders for the individual light they’ve shared with our community. . . 7th up out of 10 pioneers is Chris Nayler. Chris started with his friend Jeremy in 2014. He was always one of the hardest workers in the room and was always up for a fitness challenge. We loved seeing his push up challeng...e videos in support of those suffering with PTSD. . . Due to a Chris’s consistency in training, self development and leadership qualities he earned a volunteer role with our team. We have a high standard for leaders assisting at our school. The first rule of the team leader code is that the team members must practice what they preach. Therefor a leader at our school is like a janitor. Cleaning all day... then going home to clean there own house. It’s a tough role but there are levels to instruction much like there are levels to Muay Thai competition. Chris was consistent in his own training while maintaining the role of assisting with kids classes, meeting the standard of the first level of instruction. Much respect for the time you were able to put into the role! . . Chris was there every step of the way helping out with Reno’s of our school on Charlotte Street when we first opened at that location. He set a goal to quit his job in 2017 and he did just that! He now has a new job and spends much of his free time fishing!

ERIC SAMTLEBEN This week we’re acknowledging past or current pioneer members who’ve left their mark on our school and paved the way for new athletes. We are recognizing these students, athletes and leaders for the individual light they’ve shared with our community. . . Fourth up out of 10 pioneers is Eric Samtleben. Eric started at the gym in 2015; the first day we started offering a full time schedule. He used to train in all of our evening classes as well as 3 personal tra...ining classes weekly when he first started. He dreamed of enlisting in the military to serve our country and was working towards graduating university. School was always a tough test for him but he accredited Muay Thai for keeping him focused through his final semesters... and he ended up graduating Trent University’s Psychology program! . . Eric is currently pursuing other passions and we are thankful for the time he invested at our school. At one time he was the lone soldier competing for our team. Muay Thai competition is a tough test. But it’s easier when we know we are not in the fight alone. . . He progressed from a beginner student, to a member of our competition team competing at A Class, to a volunteer instructor in training. We’ve seen where he was and where he went too and we hope he is proud of the progress he made! Thank you for your time, effort and friendship! . . #dohjo #pioneer #member #team #friends #family #community #muaythai #warrior #work #grind See more

SCOTT GILDERS This week we’re acknowledging past or current pioneer members who’ve left their mark on our school. We are recognizing these students, athletes and leaders for the individual light they’ve shared with our community. . . Third up out of 10 pioneers is Scott Gilders. When Scott started with our team, skipping was so tough he could barely make it through a round of it. Whether it’s stubbornness or heart, (we choose to see it as heart) Scott continued to show up an...d work on his goals. He quit drinking alcohol which is amazing as it causes inflammation on the body. Scott set a goal with Kru Mike to compete in an exhibition bout. He was our oldest member to step into the ring for the first time and it was an inspiration to all of those using age as an excuse out there! Instead of saying I can’t, he said I can. You’re never to old to live! . . Scott values those around him highly and is the type of person that likes to do anonymous kind acts. So I’m sure that he will appreciate this public post... but we couldn’t leave him out of the picture! Thank you for all of your time with the team, acts of kindness, friendship and of course... stuffed peppers! . . #dohjo #pioneer #member #team #friends #family #community #muaythai See more

Like we said... this week we will be acknowledging past and current members who have left their mark on our school! . . Next up is Bob Pearson! Bob has been a part of the Dohjo since literally day one. Bob has been a fight fan for a long time and understands more to the game then your average viewer.. because he practices it too! .... . A noble characteristic of Bob is his word. He is authentic in communicating what he thinks and feels and his word is his bond. Bob has helped out volunteer in classes at the gym as well as competed in a demo match. Thank you for your years of faith in us, positive spirit and friendship! . . #friends #family #team #pioneer #dohjo #muaythai #firstday See more

MIKE TRACY aka @fatfuelledmike . . Like we said... this week we will be acknowledging past and current members who have left their mark on our school! .... . First up... Mike Tracy. This man was one of Kru Mikes first students EVER in 2011. He’s had amazing success with the keto diet and a healthy lifestyle change. He is down 85 lbs in 2 years!!! When Mikes schedule was a little lighter he would rarely miss our 6:30AM classes. He has a great Instagram channel where you can follow his story (and comedy) @fatfuelledmike. . . Thank you Mike for your years of faith in us, comedy and friendship! We hope to have many more! . . #team #family #community #first #pioneer #dohjo #muaythai See more

The expert in anything was once a beginner. Everyone and everything starts somewhere. . . This picture may look like a messy garage... and it is. But the story behind the picture is that we didn’t actually have a building for our school at one point in business. So Kru Mike stored everything from the school in his parents garage... as you can see above. .... . Seeing this picture brought up some great memories of some of the amazing people we’ve had great experiences with and who’ve past through the doors of our school. In the next few days we will be highlighting some of those amazing people who’ve left their mark on the Dohjo! . . #everything #everyone #starts #somewhere #dohjo #grateful #community #team See more

Finn Toohill is bringing the 2019 -75kg K1 WAKO Provincial Championship title back to Peterborough! . . Going into this weekend we knew we had a tough road ahead of us. There were 10 athletes registered in the -75kg division, all coming from top Ontario martial arts schools. Some of the toughest senior male divisions to compete in in the sport are -71kg and -75kg. This is due to the amount of competition in those weight classes. .... . On Saturday December 7th, Finn fought a very game and tough opponent fighting out of MAFA in his first match. The fight was back and forth with some heavy exchanges. Finn ended up winning the fight in the 3rd round via referee stoppage from knees. . . Moving into Sunday December 8th, Finn came ready and open to whatever came out way. We were scheduled to compete against a fighter in the semi finals but the fight was a walk over as the opponent did not show up. This solidified Finns spot later in the day in the Championship finals! . . Finn was matched in the finals with a fighter competing out of Pound for Pound MMA; another top Ontario team. He was focused, calm and composed. Finn knew what he had to do and utilized all of his weapons for the win. Finn won the WAKO -75kg Championship title by referee stoppage in the 2nd round. . . Super proud of you bro! Looking forward to a bright future! We are grateful for your success and Team Dohjo is behind you . . #realmenwearpink #k1 #lowkick #muaythai #tko #ko #tournament #win #hardwork #righteffort #dohjo See more

The Member of the Month of November is... Ben Mcshane!!! . . Temperance! This has been a word that fuels Ben’s performance and successes in the gym and in life. Through disciplining his positive and negative habits, he sees and we witness his positive outcomes. He rarely misses a class and he definitely does not miss sparring! .... . Bens words and actions are honest to his nature. He just likes to fight and play contact sports to put it simply! Having fun with what you do as well as being honest with yourself and others, is an important portion of the puzzle and understanding of a successful martial artists journey. . . Congrats Ben! We look forward to seeing what the new year will have in store for your martial arts path!!! . . #memberofthemonth #studentofthemonth #temperance #discipline #habit #freedom #success #fighter #student #honesty See more
