Communicating with Strength

using assertiveness skills

Do you support your family and friends until you have no energy left for yourself? Are you a people-pleaser who will neglect your own needs to please others? Or do you struggle to say no, or express what you need? This workshop is for you.

Communicating with strength is a workshop about being yourself, protecting yourself, and building strong, respectful relationships with friends, family, and co-workers, at home, at work, and at school. It complements the Safe Series (Party-safe, Date-safe, Travel-safe, and Workplace-safe) and self-defence workshops as part of the Self Defence Package, and is the first step towards fostering meaningful and safe interactions and relationships.

Tailored Workshops

Communicating with Strength includes important life skills for every stage of life, from addressing friendship challenges in primary school, through navigating dating, to negotiating work-life balance and pressures at work. Communicating with strength can be delivered at your school or workplace with an additional travel fee. We can also tailor the workshops to suit your needs in consultation with you.

Self Defence

There are many skills we can learn in life. I have found self defence training a value skill in my life. For me it more than the physical skills but the mental and people skills. Self Defence training has given me the confidence to speak up when I have… read more

Tim was an excellent speaker at our local Gordon Area 24/12 Neighbourhood Watch AGM. He spoke about personal safety issues and self defence strategies.

Thank you, Tim, for an interesting, useful and entertaining presentation. You came over as very professional, well-informed and easy to follow. Everyone said they appreciated your talk. You did a great job and I shall make sure other NHW groups know…. read more

Barbara J. – Neighbourhood Watch

My son , now 19 , mentioned yesterday that he was so grateful to have taken your teens self-defense classes! Apart from the fun physical classes and solid defense methods learnt. He said that the skills and knowledge gained have been invaluable. If he finds himself in a potentially threatening situation, he is able to draw on the awareness and de-escalation techniques he learned in class to safely diffuse the situation. He says “The instructors taught us how to trust our instincts, assess risks, and prioritize our safety above all else. I feel more empowered and prepared to handle any situation that comes my way. I highly recommend these self-defense classes to anyone looking to gain practical skills and confidence!"

Been training in martial arts for 15 years, I appreciate the quality of Sensei Tim's instruction and the depth of his skill. Incredibly honoured to be a part of the academy

Had no idea what i was getting into upon engaging this class for my daughter, at her own request.. But it's been the best few years worth of memories of our lives. For my little girl and for me as well ! Thank you very much sensei Tim🙏.

Leo Li

My daughter does kick boxing sessions weekly at personal strength. She enjoys the supportive and safe environment whilst having fun keeping fit. Tim has created a great space for young people to be the best version of themselves.

UPDATE: it's been almost 5 years since I left this review. We're still going strong! I'm still training with Tim 💪 My now 10-year-old son is still doing Ninjas classes 👍 Great local gym with a very welcoming environment. I've been training with Tim for almost 2 years and I always enjoyed his personalised approach which helped me to achieve my goals. Tim is always very encouraging and makes each training session challenging, but rewarding. Apart from training adults, Tim is excellent working with kids and my 5.5yo son is always looking forward for his next Little Ninjas classes, which he started as a 3-year-old. Kids classes are always fun, with a mix of games and various exercises teaching self-awareness and safety. I would definitely recommend FunFit to everyone.

Fantastic mix of fitness, self-defence and life skills in a fun environment. Builds confidence, respect and strength - both physical and mental - in the children. Highly recommend!

Karen Wakil

My boy really enjoys Tim's teenagers' fitness classes: Tim is very encouraging and motivating and has a good sense of humour! The class is very energetic and fun! Highly recommend!

Estelle Demontrond-Box

Tim always keeps the workouts fresh and interesting and was always committed to safety. Workouts were always challenging but catered to the level you were at. Never a boring session and looked forward to them always. Great community feel and music too! Only reason I'm not going anymore is because I moved to the other side of Sydney.

Edward Kim

Both my 4 year old girl and 6 year boy absolutely love the classes. They've done lots of other activities over the years but there's something about being a little ninja that makes them light up and they enjoy every minute of the class.

Ruth Hawkins

Great classes. My daughter loves them. They're a good mix of fun, fitness, knowledge and skills. An awesome find.
