New training options available via Skype, Zoom and Facetime

When ‘life happens’, it is an opportunity to rise up and show our strength and courage. With the recent pandemic hitting our shores, it meant some changes needed to happen with training, whilst conforming with the strict government regulations and hygiene protocols.

With our wellbeing and health being highlighted and taking precedence in most people’s lives, we felt it more important than ever before to help keep our members training. Numerous studies have shown that physical activity is linked to boosting our immune system as well as maintain physical and mental wellbeing.

To ensure the safety and wellbeing of our students and to keep them training, we quickly adapted our training methods and implemented ‘social distancing private lessons’ and introduced lessons via online video such as Skype®, Zoom® or FaceTime.

Our first member’s only free Zoom® lesson had over 200 members join and crash the system. We quickly re-established connection and everyone enjoyed an amazing lesson.

Whether you have moved to a remote area or even another state or country, this has quickly established as another way to continue your Arakan journey.

Let’s go deep into why.

Fight Fatigue, Not Deadlines: The Martial Art That Helps You Reclaim Your Energy

Fatigue is the silent enemy of high performers.

You start the day strong, but by mid-afternoon you’re running on caffeine and willpower. Meetings blur together. Motivation drops. Focus fades. And by the end of the week, you're spent - physically flat, mentally scattered, emotionally dulled.

But here’s the truth: your energy isn’t gone - it’s just stuck. Trapped in stress, tight muscles, shallow breathing, and unspent movement.
