In reply to Erika (Ellie's mum, ex student #101). Wow that's amazing! Thank you for your comment Erika! I never had the pleasure of meeting Kyoshi Andrew Roberts. From getting to know Amy and her family, he would be proud dad without a doubt.

My daughter, who is 11, is a former student of Edge Martial Arts. Everything Amy said is true. In fact, I don’t think there are words that adequately convey what Edge is about.
Edge gave my daughter her life back. Whereas before, she was a quiet little girl who was being picked on at school, now she is a quirky, compassionate young lady with the confidence to stand up to those who would bring her down. No amount of money can buy confidence.
All of the instructors at Edge have the students’ best interests at heart, and there is nothing they won’t do to help bring out the best in their students.
When Kyoshi died, the street had to be closed off because so many people turned out to pay their respects. People were devastated. We knew it was going to happen, but it still shocked the community.
I know that Kyoshi would be proud of everything Amy has achieved. And it really does feel like he is still in the dojo.
I have nothing but respect and admiration for Edge Martial Arts, and I wish Amy all the best in the future. What a beautiful legacy Kyoshi has left behind.

In reply to Sean Allen.

Hi Sean! Thank you for the message and for listening to the interview. I definitely gained a lot from this interview myself.

And I’m sure there are many foundations that you lay that influenced and inspired Graham and Phil’s success. Would be great to have you on for an interview, not only to go full circle with this but also tap into your extensive martial arts experience 🙂

George,

Great interview with Graham and Phil from WAIMA. I really enjoyed the attitude that the boys have in challenging themselves over and over. They really do provide us with an insight into their work ethic, professionalism and ideals.
Especially rewarding for me as I was their employer/instructor back in the day. I clearly remember the reasons behind my decision to employ Graham above all others and that move has been the start of a journey that has benefited the martial arts industry. Then my decision to combine Phil with Graham has been a joy to follow.
As an instructor, I have made many mistakes. Choosing Graham as a young Green belt to groom as an instructor has been a good choice. Helping Phil move into my old school as an instructor then owner has been equally beneficial.

Of note is the reaction by the boys when our paths occasionally cross. They always show me heartfelt respect and genuine interest in my life journey. My response to them is reciprocated.

It seems the WAIMA story is only just starting. I am sure you can appreciate this as a Dad sitting on the sidelines watching classes.

Anyway, great interview.

Regards,
Sean Allen
