Australian International School Outreach

As part of TRIQUEST MMA's commitment to bettering lives through the martial arts, Master Thomas and Coach Andy were honored to participate in the Australian International School of Hong Kong's "Martial Arts and Service Activity Week".  The tenth through twelfth year students were given instruction  in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and self defense by our capable team.  TRIQUEST MMA deeply appreciates being involved with martial arts at the tertiary level.  Thomas continues to teach in Hong Kong schools and And regularly conducts seminars.  As more opportunities open up for youths to compete at the amateur level in combat sports, we will be happy to see more of these students joining our team.


Thank you for the opportunity, AISHK!  Here is the wonderful note of appreciation sent to us:

Dear Thomas and Andy,

Thanks for being a part of such a fantastic week for the kids. Please see the students’ report on their experience below.  I have also attached a photo from the session.  We hope to do it again next year.

Cheers

STUDENT REPORT

During activity week a group of keen Year 10, 11 and 12 students set out to various locations around Hong Kong to discover our inner Bruce Lees. Each day we trained at different gyms and were instructed by masters and several former and current world champions. We gained new skills and insights into a number of different martial arts, each having their own unique fighting style and philosophy.
