Self Defence for Women

This workshop provides scenario-based mental, verbal, and physical self defence skills for women. Studies show that victims with self-defence training are less likely to be assaulted, more likely to resist, and feel more anger and less fear during an attack. Attackers are ALWAYS to blame for attacks, but self-defence training can make a difference to your personal safety. Mothers and daughters workshops are also available by arrangement.

Communicating with Strength (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.

Safety and Red Flags for Women

This workshop is for women and teenage girls who want to learn to: Spot red flags and risk factors so they can be vigilant when needed, not all the time, listen to their feelings and distinguish well-founded fear from un-founded anxiety, build everyday safety-habits while maintaining autonomy and freedom, respond to warning signs. This workshop complements the Women’s Self Defence and Communicating with Strength workshops.

Resilience

Resilience is built through stressful experiences, just as muscles are built through strain. This course teaches good mental techniques for coping with stressful experiences so that we can build our resilience and avoid injury. Every phase of life presents new challenges.

Finding your direction (Goal-setting 1)

For people who have a big decision to make and want to explore the best direction for them, or who feel that something is missing from their life and want to discover what it is (teenagers and adults). This single 2-hour workshop will help you identify what is important to you, what strengths you bring, and then you can choose to A: identify a life area with the most potential for improvement, or B: Identify careers with the best match for your individual values and strengths.

Make it happen (Goal-setting 2)

This workshop is for people who have a change they want to make, such as weight loss, healthy eating, regular exercise, or even taking up a hobby, but they are struggling to change or to stick to the change. This workshop will help you to make that happen.

Bully protection

These workshops will be for children who have been the target of bullying. They will help children to enhance their resilience and assertiveness skills, develop techniques to respond to mean words and actions, build problem-solving skills, and promote healthy friendships.

Personal Training (in the above)

For the time poor or those not wanting to share personal info in a group, workshops can be delivered one on one by appointment. Content will be tailored to your personal needs.

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.

Lovely atmosphere. It’s a great place to spend time with your child. Tim and his family are some of the nicest people you could hope to meet. It’s perfect for fun - plus introduces genuine concepts of discipline to youngsters.

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.

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.

My 6 year old son has been attending Mini Ninjas for almost a year and loves it! Tim is a natural with kids, he has the right balance of humour, fun and discipline to keep the whole class motivated and engaged. As well as having a great time and a good workout, our son is gaining physical confidence, self discipline and respect for others. Having trained in different martial art clubs when I was younger, I can see Tim has all the right qualities, values and knowledge you would want to be teaching our children.

My son joined mini ninja class as a 3 years old. He has been excited to go every week. Tim is extremely good with engaging young kids with various activities. The whole lesson is filled with kids' joy and laugh. It's also great entertainment for parents to watch on the side. I can see my son has been improving in protecting himself with all the self defence actions he learned from Tim, which is very important for kids safety.
