In April 2018 we had the privilege of collaborating with esteemed Canadian kick-boxer and striking coach Vic Thériault. Vic is also the founder of Aisudan Promotions and brother of the legendary original ‘Iceman’ – Jean Yves Thériault.

The Thériault brothers are reknowned for their kickboxing pedigree and Vic certainly demonstrated this during the couple of sessions he held with our team. Amongst other items, Vic shared some novel training technqiues focused on lower body flexibility as well as mixed combinations training.

If you would like a glimpse into the Thériault style, check out the following Jean Yves highlight reel on YouTube: Jean Yves Thériault Highlights

On 7 December 2017 we held our first outdoor childrens self-defense seminar in San Pedro’s Central Park. The free seminar was well attended and was a great success by all accounts.

Similarly, the ethics demonstrated by the participants was wonderful and we would like to thank everyone who was involved, particularly the San Pedro Town Council, who sponsored the event, as well as the San Pedro Sun for this article.
