Today I am in a position to offer you the magic pill that will instantly, and I mean, right now, transform you into a super warrior, walking death machine. You will become all powerful with amazing skills. A mere flick of your wrist will send an attacker flying into the wall. A focused look can literally knock an adversary over and a punch that you deliver will shatter bones without you even breaking a sweat.

In addition, I will share with you THE secret technique, the secret of all secrets that will make you invincible, all powerful, and prevent you from being attacked ever again. It’s a secret so deep that it has only recently been declassified by top secret government agencies. They didn’t want you or other civilians to know about this as it’s part of the New World Order conspiracy theory that many talk about but only a select handful of people in the world know about. I’m one of them.

Combined, the magic pill and secret technique is known as the Fast Track™.

What? What’s that you say? No, it won’t cost you an arm and leg. It might only cost you a leg but more realistically, if your leg is worth $99.95 you can be the owner of the strongest and fastest punch, be in amazing shape and never train another day again in your lifetime.

If you are reading this part by now, you will realise that the above was just a satirical post of many “combat proven, spec-op, military special forces, ancient warrior temple secrets that have been passed from generation to generation” are just like that Click Here button. I don’t have the magic pill, in possession of any secret technique nor any fast or slow track programs.

I’ve been around the block (or twice). There are no magic pills or secret techniques. There are no Fast Track, TM or otherwise. I know. I’ve looked high and low for them. They aren’t there. If someone tells you otherwise, I hope you have a very deep wallet or have working mental faculties capable of detecting bullsh*t.

There are, however, an abundance of empty promises, scams and bogus program that incentivize you part with your hard-earned money for a piece of paper, ok, a “Certificate”, and a piece of cloth, ok, a “black belt”, that endows the wearer with instant street cred and “reputation”. I’m not sure what kind of street “cred” or “reputation” they usually refer to and but that “cred” and “reputation” doesn’t put food on the table nor win you any friends and will possess the capacity of invoking quite the opposite effect of what the pill and secret promised to deliver.

In fact, many people secretly harbour feelings of low-confidence, low-self esteem but also in possession of a short-attention span and high need for instant gratification. Confidence tricksters will offer you the “magic pill” that they so desperately want at a price.

These many scams have been around a long time. They may not be as sophisticated as other scams but nonetheless they are designed to part the money from the owner with the promise of low investment and fast and high returns. Too good to be true? Yes, it often is.

While I can’t speak for everyone, my personal experience has been one that your personal ability and skill on the mat has a direct correlation to your understanding of the technique and your ability to translate those techniques learned against a resisting partner. It takes concerted effort, time, sweat, blood, and (in some cases) tears to start seeing progress. On a more positive note, once you start experiencing success, it begins to snowball into other aspects of your training and your skills improve. You improve the “ok” technique into “good” and finally into “excellent” technique. Everything else tags along.

I am asked when “that moment” happens? I can’t say for sure as it varies from one to another but I have noticed that there are some who will pick up these skills faster than others. The ones who learn slowly, like myself, tend to keep at it longer because we realise that we spent so much effort, investment and time acquiring these skills.

I also recognise that these are perishable skills as their effectiveness relies mostly on physical conditioning and timing (as well as knowing the technique itself). I would say all forms of martial arts requires a high degree of athleticism. You will not become athletic through learning the techniques but the techniques require a high physical ability for success.

The moral of this story is to beware of the temptation and promise of fast, powerful, instant fighting ability in 10 easy classes. There isn’t one.

Best training!

CMD Malaysia

Are you looking for a fitness gym or a better, simpler way to get in shape and stay in shape?

CMD Malaysia is a unique fitness centre in Bangsar. We have a track record of being in Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur since 1998 and have recently moved to a new, larger location also in Bangsar on Jalan Riong off the busy Jalan Maarof.
We’re conveniently located within 7 minutes walking distance of the Bangsar LRT and the popular mall, Bangsar Village. Easy to find, free parking and secured CCTV location. We offer a clean, hygenic, safe training space that is privately owned and operated.

What makes CMD Malaysia unique?
Apart from being the only complete, full-time martial arts gym in Bangsar, we also provide a very unique fitness program that is simple, effective and fun.

This program is called FizFit and it is focused on using bodyweight-based exercises as it’s foundation to develop strength, mobility and flexibility. All FizFit classes are led by a trainer who will teach the techniques starting from beginner all the way to an accomplished athlete. However, you may not be surprised to know that many of our clients have not exercised in a long time or have found the typical chain-gym routines boring. The FizFit classes overcome this by never repeating the same workout class to prevent the body from getting used to the same workouts. So when the FizFitter reaches Level 2, you will often see the introduction of fitness toys that include Swiss Balls, medicine balls, jump ropes, power wheels, dumb bells, boxing gloves, resistance bands, barbells, kettlebells, suspension cables, club bells, and more. Throw these toys into the mix and you get the idea! The classes are fun, challenging and most importantly, gets you a great workout.

Typically when a new visitor comes to our Bangsar fitness centre they usually ask us where we keep our exercise machines. We smile and tell them that they are their own exercise machine! Come over and let us show you all the wonderful and complex movements your exercise machine can do!

Our fitness objective is to be able to move the body through all the angles and degrees of the clock. Can you do that? Yes you can!

There are currently 2 levels of FizFit Workouts to cater for the different fitness levels but we have plans to add more in the future.

Many of our clients also suffer from some form of joint injury or mobility limitation from other activities. Common culprits are futsal, tennis, golf and even yoga! Surprised? Don’t be! If a client has a chronic joint mobility condition, typically in the knees, shoulders, back, ankle and neck, then the trainers will educate the client on an alternative exercise to avoid worsening their condition and suggest other ways to strengthen the surrounding muscle if applicable.

Before you visit us, quickly ask yourself why you want to train? Is it to lose weight? Gain weight? Tone up? We don’t do body building here but we do want a high quality lifestyle and to enjoy good meals, live easy and travel far! You can do that in a body that is trained to do that!

The culture at the CMD Malaysia gym is also very different from many others in that we are non-competitive, non-judgmental and provide a supportive, friendly community that often hang out beyond the gym. We don’t care what you look like, what you wear or why you are here. If you want a serious but friendly workout, you are most welcome to join us! In fact, if you register online, we will give you a complimentary workout for a week.

The other unique thing about our Bangsar Fitness gym is that we are the premier kettlebell club in the country. We are not boasting or tooting our own horn but we have the highest qualified trainers in the country. Chui Lee is the only woman in Malaysia holding the IKFF Level 2 Kettlebell Teacher certification (there are only 2 levels) while Vince is a IKFF Level 2 Kettlebell Teacher and is also the regional IKFF Level 1 Examiner.

The third unique thing about CMD Malaysia is the CMD Program itself. This is a complete martial arts experience that is designed for the everyday guy. We prepare you for full contact living!

I’ll write more about the unique martial arts experience in Bangsar and how the CMD Program in Kuala Lumpur is going from strength to strength in another article next week!

No idea what kettlebells are? I’m sure you’ve seen them in some gyms, usually neglected in the corner somewhere collecting dust. Believe it or not, they are low tech, high performance fitness tools that will improve your grip strength, cardio vascular improvement and work capacity gains. You can improve your stamina and endurance as well as your strength and physique if you want. These physical performance gains can be achieved irregardless of rain or shine as you can safely practice kettlebells indoors as well as outdoors. Most people in Kuala Lumpur prefer to exercise with kettlebells indoors, away from the sun, mosquitos and car pollution so can you! We currently offer the most kettlebell group classes in the country and probably have the most kettlebells in any gym in the country!

Don’t be put off by the size of the kettlebells. They all come in a standard size, and they are called Competition Kettlebells. The lighter weights are hollow inside while the heavier weights are more filled inside but from the outside, they are all the same size but are coloured differently.
We will be happy to teach you how to lift them safely and correctly then explain the benefits of each exercise. After that you can decide to practice in the comfort of your own home or join us in a group class to workout under the watchful eye of a certified and experienced trainer.
