Time - the key to success

In todays’ society we expect so much so quickly. There is always so much pressure on ourselves and people around us to gain immediate results, no matter what the venture maybe.

Our concept of time has changed dramatically; I often hear comments such as, “I have been training for so long now, it’s been almost three years,” and “I have given myself three months to see if my new business can make big profits,” and “it’s time to find a new job, I have been in this same job for two years, it’s been too long.”

Malcolm Gladwell, in his book Outliers states that it takes 10,000 hours for someone to master a topic...

Mastering Your Craft

Many students begin their journey thinking that after some time and commitment to training, all of their doubts will be extinguished, that they would gain greater levels of confidence and they would feel totally indestructible.

The reality is that along their journey, students may become even more doubtful and less confident than when they began their journey. Although this state is temporary and transitional, the feelings of doubt often lead to the student becoming disillusioned and stopping their journey all together.

Legion V Legion
It’s always super exciting to teach these seminars, the intensity is always through the roof; I find myself flipping from smiling to cringing throughout the seminar. Thank you to all our amazing students who trained with such high level of intensity yet with so much care and respect for each other. Arakan has never been a competition style (hopefully never will be) so it’s our way of creating some exciting moments for our students whilst creating an environment where they can learn and grow as practitioners.

Melbourne Prison Seminar and Sydney Night Club Seminar Member's Story
Both seminars started fast, we lined up uneasily awaiting what was ahead. You could feel the tension crackling. Not hesitating, the instructors lived their roles as prisoners, guards or night-clubbers looking for a good time. At Casablanca night club, in Sydney, the bouncers had us line up and show IDs. Once in, I was bumped into and confronted by drunkards looking for a drink…or a fight. Brawls erupted all around me as I tried to smooth talk my way out of buying an instructor a drink. It felt so eerily similar to what I’d seen when out clubbing, I was confronted. Bad Top 40s blaring, it felt like a sweaty night out in Sydney. Over the 2 hours we endured typical party situations, from standing up to sitting down from light presses to lightning fast cupping palms to groin shots, we learnt the ins and outs of martial nightclubbing. That night I could not help but be twitchy and hyper aware as I did actually navigate Sydney’s nightlife. Having dusted myself of from the Sydney seminar it was time for round two....

From Boardroom to Battle Ready: How Arakan Relieves Stress and Builds Strength

Corporate life can be a battlefield.
Back-to-back meetings. Impossible deadlines. Constant emails. Unrelenting pressure to perform. For many professionals, stress isn’t just part of the job – it’s a way of life.
And while productivity hacks and mindfulness apps may offer short-term relief, what high performers really need is a way to physically discharge that stress, mentally reset, and feel strong again.

Train Your Nervous System: The Martial Art That Builds Resilience from the Inside Out

In the world of biohacking, we often focus on metrics – heart rate variability, sleep cycles, breathwork, cold exposure, supplements. But if you're truly chasing adaptive resilience, there’s one arena you can’t ignore: training your nervous system under pressure.
And few modalities do that more effectively than Arakan Martial Art.
Arakan isn’t about points, belts, or rituals. It’s a fast, adaptable, high-intensity martial art designed for real-world scenarios. But for biohackers, the benefits go far deeper than physical self-defense – it’s a powerful way to condition your autonomic nervous system to remain sharp, regulated, and responsive under stress.
