MY NEW RADIO SHOW

SIFU George’s Martial Arts World …

My Brand New Radio Show

 

I’m very excited as it’s almost time for the premiere of my new, weekly radio show – SIFU George’s Martial Arts World. The first show is due on air Sunday 28th October 2012 from 3 – 4 pm on guessradio.co.uk

Please try to tune in each week as I will be talking about some of the different styles I have studied and the teachers who have taught me. Basically, I’ll be sharing my thoughts on the world of Martial Arts and Self Defence … ideas and techniques that can save lives – maybe yours!

In addition to these tips and principles, I will also talk about the history and philosophy of the different arts, interviewing other Martial Artists and discussing any newsworthy items relevant to the world of Martial Arts.

One of the topics I will be discussing on this premiere show will be my Ten Principles of Self-Defence Survival, common-sense advice and tips that have proven themselves on the streets and battlefields of the world.

So, don’t forget to listen in this Sunday 28th October from 3 – 4 pm on Guess Radio.

RADIO INTERVIEW

Sifu George Fitzgerald is Interviewed on Guess Radio

 

What a busy week! I feel a little as I have been here, there and everywhere this week – but all in a positive way.

My good friend, celebrity hairdresser Stuart Phillips, kindly invited me to be interviewed on his weekly show at www.guessradio.co.uk and by all accounts, everything went really good and the show was well received. There was even listeners from afar afield as Chile and the Ukraine listening in!

In fact, the very next day the station’s producer invited me back to the studio as he was intrigued by some of the things I talked about during the interview and now wants me to run my own radio show!!

So, starting on the 28th of October 2012 I will be broadcasting my own radio show every Sunday between 3 – 4 pm. I will be discussing all facets of the martial arts such as history, martial arts in the movies, self defense tips and much, much more. Please try to listen in as I think it will be both fun and informative.

I’m also in talks to appear regularly in Guess Radio’s upcoming web TV show!!

THE WINNERS CREED

Sifu George Fitzgerald Says …

I am a fighter.

Every problem in life, every struggle, is merely a game for me
to enjoy and win.

I am an intelligent fighter, using the brain and instinct for
survival that was passed on to me by countless generations of
ancestors, a genetic gift, my inheritance.

I am a winner, because I refuse to accept defeat. I can only be
defeated if I give up, which I never shall.

Every success makes me stronger.

Every experience makes me wiser.

Every new fight gives me another chance to win.

And I enjoy winning.

To the timid, the approaching battle looks worse than to the
fighter. It is magnified by fear, but reduced and overcome by
courage.

I begin and finish a winner, because I know that all I have to
do is to stay strong and keep fighting, until I tire out the
opposition.

That is the rule of persistence and determination – that the last
man on his feet is the winner.

Merely being prepared and willing to fight is my greatest asset.

I shall always strive to be a winner.

DON’T BE A MARTIAL ARTS DROPOUT!

Sifu George Fitzgerald Says …

 

The most important thing in martial arts training isn’t how much time you spend practising, which system you learn or which school you attend. The most important thing is …
NOT QUITTING!

Here are some tips to help you be a winner, not a quitter :

  • Be patient. Don’t neglect your family, friends or work; you’ll lose their support.
  • Practise when it won’t interfere with your family’s routine
  • Enjoy it! Yes, martial arts training is serious, but few students will continue to invest money and time in something that isn’t at least a little fun.
  • Make martial arts practise a part of your normal routine. Then it’ll be easier to continue, and you’ll be less likely to quit.
  • When you practise mix it up a little. Try to keep things interesting and fresh.
  • Practise with someone who is enthusiastic. It will be more enjoyable, and his or her enthusiasm may rub off on you.
  • Make sure you get enough rest. If you feel run down and tired, it will affect your attitude. It’s better to rest if you’re too tired to practise, then make it up when you’re rested.
  • Don’t let personality conflicts interfere with your training. If you don’t like someone in class, stay away from that person as much as possible.
  • Don’t compare yourself to your classmates. Learning is not a race. It’s better to know less but be good at what you do know than to know more and not be very good at any of it.

“Be a WINNER!”
