Braiden embarked on his Arakan journey in 2020, and from the very first lesson, he was captivated by the practice. Fuelled by this newfound passion, Braiden wholeheartedly embraced the demanding training regimen that Arakan requires for success. What initially started as a weekly commitment swiftly evolved into a lifestyle, with Braiden dedicating himself to multiple training sessions each week. Arakan transcended being merely a fitness routine; it became a wellspring of empowerment, instilling in Braiden resilience and discipline that resonated throughout various aspects of his life. Beyond its physical benefits, Arakan became a catalyst for enhancing his mental well-being. Through this martial art, Braiden not only discovered a mode of physical expression but also a transformative path towards self-discovery and personal growth. When Braiden is not in teaching mode, you'll find him engrossed in training sessions, navigating the golf course, or cherishing moments with friends and family.

Student Testimonials

Braiden's lessons are the perfect balance between challenging and encouraging. With each session, I felt myself growing stronger both physically and mentally. With Braiden I have gotten particularly better at situational awareness and core strength, and his feedback is always constructive. Braiden's enthusiasm for Arakan is contagious, and I am grateful for all the confidence I've gained at his lessons. Training with him is an absolute blast and I look forward to more!

Shanelle Kennedy

I have been training with Braiden for a couple of months as a secondary lesson. In that time his patience and dedication towards my lessons have allowed me to further progress in my Arakan journey. My son has also found his love for Arakan again, training with me under Braiden. Braiden's lessons have been a safe space for my son to gain his confidence and help him keep fit and healthy.

After an unfortunate turn of events earlier in the year, all 3 of my kids now have self defence lessons every week.

Today their Instructor 'pushed a button' and one of my kids started to break down, emotionally.

Their Instructor immediately stopped, walked over and put his arm around them, told them to let it all out and stood with them with his arm around them as they cried. He then used a circuit breaker activity to move on from it and was beautifully gentle for the rest of the lesson.

Afterward they *child* told me that they felt a bit embarrassed for crying but their Instructor had made them feel safe in doing so and that they believed they would be safe to continue to release the emotional pressure caused earlier this year, with their Instructor.

What a genuine and strong second male role model for my kids, other than their father. Money can't even buy that kind of authenticity.
