Testimonials Baden Powell College: Being teachers in the local area we are always looking an engaging activity for our students to partake in. When speaking with Graham he informed us that he could provide a program that that wouls challenge and build our students self esteem while giving them self defence, meditation and brain Gym techniques. The students came to school each day knowing that at the end of each week they would work with Graham learning these skills. Our students now know that for every action there is a consequence. The students and us as teachers thoughly enjoyed the sessions. It was pleasing to see each and every student engaged and wanting to learnn more. We would definitely reccomend Lotus Martial Arts. Thanking you - Sarah Hamilton & Bree Russell Baden Powell College - ( Tarneit Campus ) Gulliver’s story:
I am a 33 year old sales manager, and this is my story.
It has been less than 2 years since Graham Campbell introduced me to his martial arts classes in West Footscray. Since then I have achieved many things I didn’t know I could do before. I have been trained to develop myself physically and mentally.
Personally, this has had a massive impact on my life, and, professionally, this has had a tremendous influence on my career. Graham spends time with you during class - you are not stuck 10 rows back in the class with 30 other people vying for the instructor's attention. You actually learn stuff and if you don't get things right he encourages you to keep on trying - to try and better yourself.
When I first started I could kick no higher than my waist - now I am able kick head high. I can now spar without making contact and being a risk to my classmates. I would encourage anyone who wants to stretch himself or herself to call and ask Sabomnim (Korean for Teacher) Graham about his classes.
Sharee's (from Williamstown) story: Since with Lotus Health and Fitness my confidence and general fitness has grown 100%. Graham is a patient teacher allowing me to progress at my own pace. I recommend his classes to everyone. So go on.........take up the challenge!! I did............ Leela's story: When I began training with Graham 3 years ago, I had only just moved to Melbourne from Sydney. I was overweight, depressed, lonely, in an abusive relationship and working as an administration temp. Things were tough for me. After a brief search I found Lotus Health and Fitness and decided to do something different.......EXERCISE!! After the first few months I found that not only was I getting stronger - but I actually looked forward to training on Monday and Wednesday nights. As someone that had done very little exercise previously, this astounded me! Lotus Health & Fitness had everything that I was after - the class sizes were small; the attention given....personal; and the environment.....safe and welcoming. Since I joined I've quit smoking, I take good care of my health and last year I even ran the "race to the G" 10 Km fun run. I have grown so much in confidence I now run my own business. I am a completely different person and so much of that is due to Lotus and Graham. I really hope you take Graham up on this offer and join us at Lotus - we love welcoming new members into our family and look forward to having yours be the next lotus success story...I look forward to meeting you in person! So begin the journey with Lotus Health and Fitness today! Raechel's (from Braybrook) testimonial: ..........Graham has a genuine love of what he teaches and this shows through his teaching methods. He shares his of his craft with patience and answers all of the questions thrown to him with knowledge and forethought. My son's confidence has soared since starting at Lotus and he has always been treated with understanding and importance. Emma's (from Kingsville) story: When my son, aged nine asked if he could take up some sort of martial art I started to look into the options in our local area, not knowing that the whole family would soon be joining in!! I came across Lotus Health and Fitness in the Yellow Pages and thought I would give them a call. Graham was very friendly and assured me that Lotus would be great for my son in all kinds of ways - fitness, self confidence etc. He also pointed out that Lotus had family classes and so I thought I might as well give it a go as well - I was already there to drop off my son anyway. After a couple of lessons my daughter (aged seven) also decided to give it a go - "It looked like fun"! Well that was three years ago and we are now regular members of the class. As a mum, it's great to see my children doing something that is active, disciplined, but still so much fun. I have also noticed my shy little boy's confidence growing as the time has passed, which is an added bonus - he thinks Graham is great, particulary as he corrects him on his technique without making him feel like he's "done wrong". For me it's a good work out, which has increased my flexibility, and it's fantastic to do something fun and active as a family. I aso enjoy sessions without the kids, including self defence training which has been very empowering and has done wonders for my confidence. Lotus was the answer to by boy's martial arts "needs" and has now become an important part of our family fitness. Graham is a great instructor - firm, fair, friendly and fantastic with the kids (not to mention us oldies!!). Anne - Moonee Ponds I have been a client of Graham Campbell's for the past six weeks and have found the experience extremely beneficial. I have been suffering anxiety as a result of a medical condition, combined with a marital break-up and have found the techniques used by Graham to have greatly alleviated my negative thoughts and symptoms. Graham has used hypnosis and NLP with me to promote and enhance confidence and a more positive attitude to life. He has helped me to focus on my current situation as a serious of challenges to be met rather than as something overwhelmingly negative. Graham has also helped me to control my breathing and develop a more relaxed attitude through a series of exercises based on Qi Gong. Through regular practice I have found that I am becoming more confident and more in control of my emotions and my present situation. |
