Stress inoculation training - Prepares the mind for the mental and emotion struggles you face in a real fight. This is done in a thoughtful and controlled manner to give students a well-rounded capacity to deal with stress, not just at training but every day.
Physical fitness training - Each class includes an element of fitness training to improve your cardiovascular fitness and strength. These are not a replacement for your own fitness regime but rather stimuli to encourage students to consider their own strength, flexibility and endurance training. It also acts as process to push yourself mentally, to achieve your goals and raise your own standards.
This is not sport fighting. Tim prepares his students for real life combat situations where weapons, strikes, multiple attackers and environmental elements can be in play.
In real life, you do not get to just tap out and the opponent breaks off, In real life, fights can alter the course, length and quality of your life and so training is taken with that seriousness in mind at all times.
Tim teaches, how to manage a fight from the ground to standing, with weapons pulled or just hands and feet, improvised weapons, OODA loop management and a strong mental state.

The Bathurst Dojo
The Melbourne Bathurst Dojo is run by Tim Bathurst. The fundamental training concepts that underpin our training for combat fighting.
1. Reality-based, functional fighting skills that stress inoculate students to “close quarter fighting”.
2. Weapons based combat that teaches correct structural alignment and efficient energy expenditure for maximum results.
3. Learn to Stop a fight quickly, as each second the fight continues is an opportunity it can go against you. Control the fight and your opponent quickly, with confidence.
4. BJJ is effective in the gym, but in the street, where strikes, weapons and multiple opponents are probable, then a better strategy is needed.
5. Learn techniques that are effective against weapons, and how to keep your OODA loop ahead of your opponent/s
6. No Belts or grades; These create over confidence and do not help you control a fight or implement the mental attitude needed to win. Let your skills speak for you, not some belt level.
7. All weapons and non weapons fighting techniques are adapted to the modern fight. Traditional techniques that do not work have been discarded and only what is effective is taught.
