Self Defence Training.

Graham Healy

Graham has had wide and varied experience in both Boxing and Tae kwon do. His Grandfather (Bert healy) Senior ran a professional Boxing Gym for 50 years and Grahams Father (Bert) Healy (junior) became Queensland State Champ 1948. Also becoming a respected trainer himself.

Graham’s boxing career was manly as the gym sparring partner for many state champs both amateur and professional . Graham loved the ‘sharpness’ and ‘training’ and the conditioning’ of boxing but, later turned to Tae kwon do to learn to use his feet as well as his hands. He did this progressively with two of the FIRST generation Tae Kwon Do Masters . Chong Chul Rhee, then later with Grandmaster Yun Ku Yun. Graham became one of Grandmaster’s Yun’s professional International instructors traveling to PNG military base in 1993 conducting a self-defence seminar with the GM Yun.

At the same time Graham owned his own Gym/Health center in Townsville with some 1,500 members .(1976 Graham competed in the Olympic weight lifting state titles). Graham now runs his own ‘Personal training’ consultancy specializing in weights training , ‘explosive power’ techniques ,Nutritional plans, supplements etc Graham is a specialist in the ‘Healy’s’ 12 week Transformational challenges with Programs that ‘Put it all together’.

Graham is also a Church chairman balancing the ‘mind ,body & spirit’ with a non ‘egotistical’ attitude regarding the teaching of self defence-hence FREE-STYLE Tae Kwon Do.

The Evolution of Healy's Freestyle Tae-Kwon Do and Boxing Academy.

“ I have basically ‘distilled & Refined’ the Healy’s system to produce effective Tae kwon Do ‘explosive power’ Kicks & Boxing punches in half the time traditional systems take. In this ‘refinement’ I have developed a truly Australian Style Martial Art ” creative, straight to the point & effective !. Healy’s freestyle Tae Kwon Do & Boxing Academy has truly ‘absorbed what is useful and disregarded the rest’ in the true legacy of the late and great Bruce Lee , releasing ourselves from the ‘shackles of tradition’ .

In the words of Miyamoto Musashi Japans greatest Samurai “However, if we look at things objectively, from the viewpoint of laws of the World, we see various doctrines departing from the true Way, Know well this spirit, and with forthrightness as the foundation and the true Spirit as the way, enact strategy broadly, correctly and openly” (page 95 Book of Five Rings) . The ‘true spirit’ of Martial Arts has been lost and replaced by the arrogance of Commercial Art ,over inflated Ego’s ,competition and a false sense of victory over others. Healy’s freestyle TKD & Boxing Academy bases its ‘system’ on Integrity and simple ‘Australian ANZAC Mateship’ that ‘endures’ over the passage of time.

Proverbs 11:3 says ‘The Integrity of the upright will guide them’ and that is our simply philosophy ‘keep your heart right with God and man and you will find the ‘true Way’ . Self-defence is such a paradox the more you learn the more you realize how frail the human anatomy is and that ‘Peace’ and ‘not War’ is the answer. The real struggle is the ‘battle within yourself’ and whatever decision you make in life it must be done from a ‘platform of peace in your Heart’ and clarity of Mind.

True strength is in the ‘Spirit man’ and the ‘True way of the warrior’ is forged in the heart of man .

As we journey along in Life be it Martial Arts or simply ‘living’ it’s the ‘Mateship’ that endures the Passage of time and that ‘relationship’ is the glue that ‘holds us all together’..

Our prime Focus at Healy’s is to build enduring relationships and teach others to ‘appreciate each others talents and gifts’ through the discipline and leadership skills developed through ‘true’ Martial Arts training.

Yours in Life,
