Best known internationally as a martial artist, Gill is also an Australian and Pan Pacific Masters tennis champion and an avid supporter of sport as part of a healthy lifestyle. Recognizing that not everyone wants to train in a martial art, Gill created the Aussie Sports Resort, with programs set to launch in June of 2022.
Activities include racquet sports such as tennis and pickleball, and safe-practice, non-contact versions of Aussie rules football, tag rugby, and cricket. Programs exist for children, adults, and seniors so whole families can participate. Meditative breathing practices and defense-fit (martial arts movements set to music) complement the more competitive aspects of sports – a balance Gill has found highly important for personal health.
Pickleball is Americas fastest growing sort as it is a paddle sport played with a perforated, plastic ball over a tennis-type net on a badminton-sized court. The game can be played in a singles or doubles format. The rules are simple, and the game is easy for beginners to learn!
Throughout the health measures and restrictions of the past two years, many people have suffered not just from illness but also from the mental and physical strains associated with losing their regular activities. By offering a taste of some of the most popular sports from his native Australia – some of which are less well known in North America – Gill hopes to re-inject a sense of play into exercise and to help people realize the physical and mental benefits that come with an active lifestyle.
With an early emphasis on physically distanced, outdoor activities – and with family and private lessons also available – Aussie Sports Resort is structured to help everyone return to a higher level of activity in an environment suited to each person’s comfort level. Though offered under the umbrella of the USA School of Self Defense, no martial arts experience is required.
